squab 2,875 Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Nice pics. Nettles are in over drive now, I'm trying to get my pup amongst the young bracken , the bramble has erupted as well, bushes have become vast swathes that aren't much fun for me at least. only another couple months hopefully then be back amongst it Quote Link to post
Truther 1,579 Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Grew up working that type of ground, loads of it round here, does the dogs a lot of good imo, but its dodgy at times, specially with terriers. Quote Link to post

day and night walker 237 Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Had my one out the other evening, she had a couple of good hunts through the cover but then ripped her ear so we headed back home, i think it's a bit too much this time of year with all the ripe nettles and bramble about... I don't know if it is just me but it seems a lot worse than last year. Quote Link to post

A few of us had terriers, you just had to learn where to avoid, or get them on a lead near the bad spots, i could tell some tales about losing dogs in bad places. 1 Quote Link to post
