[johnrussell84 2,765]

My grandfather got my old man going he whether out after his best lurcher bitch snapped her neck my brother quit to chase the drugs route which left me. I'll be at it for a good few years yet but my 2 boys one has an interest in anything outdoors. But I'm encouraging him everytime to go down the ferreting route and stay away from the going ons of the terrier world

well my oldest brother got me started as soon as I could walk & no 1 in our family ever hunted but sadly my brother got out of the game but I got my young cousin into it plus my 7yr old boy & my 5yr old girl are showing a bit of interest they love the outdoors being with the dogs or horses but I'm not forcing it on them they'll either will carry on or they won't but I'm hoping they will but in all honesty I think my girl will be big into the horses & boy will carry on with dogs I hope lol atb cbx

On both side of my family there were a few into rough shooting but I'm the first into running dogs. I blame my mother for it as she used to make up stories of dogs going to hunt before i went to bed ha and if she left a dog out of a story I'd ask was that dog she left out sick ha. I think I'll have to make a few stories up for my little lad as my lot aren't up to much haha
