What breed of ferrets are the best...?

[Phil Lloyd 10,736]

Its a shame all these people with greyhound ferrets can't produce a picture of one

 

 

 

Hello CW most of the stock i have comes from JB we swapped some of my mates tiny pugs last year for some of JBs greyhoundy type coneycatchers.

Sombody asked for pics of small ferts , heres one i dug out

i take its a kit not a full grown adult or was it the runt of the litter,had a runt once but he didnt make it sad as he was a nice little thing but not up to the rigours of the scotish winters of the early eighties etc he was a little polecat with a half tail , as kids we called him bobtail , he died young and couldnt hack hard weather he would say fech you etc on a cold day

[TOMO 24,880]

not a kit she is 3 year old, she was out of what i call a greyhound ferret . bigger than her but lean always on the go. nobby and rambo would vouch for the dam of this jill. she was an absolute cracker work wise.

[whin 463]

she looks [bANNED TEXT] young in that pic nothing like the greyhound ferrets we had in the eighties tomo , they were white albinos and a greyhound ferret is a name for a albino who was strong and long muscular , not a polecat mate cheers

[sue 1]

with looking at th greying in her legs ,she doesnt look like a kit just a small ferret

[TOMO 24,880]

Never said she was a greyhound type, her mother was. belive me she was 3 years old in that pic.

 

as for the colour and type you call a greyhound this can vary depending on location in the uk.

 

like you i dont call a greyhound the realy tiny ones like the one in the pic.

 

however to me there is no colour that cant be a greyhound , but they are usualy light coloured

[whin 463]

localy and ie edinburgh and all the local mining villages greyhound firrets as they were pronounced were white, up our way polecats were not popular twenty or more years ago i mean thirty yrs ago , maybe down your way but ask any miners worth there salt about greyhound ferrets ,etc but maybe it was only were i came from , but thinking back my inlaws who were warreners from suffolk called white ferrets, greyhound ferrets and they had them pre mixi cheers we had sandies, polecats and sometimes red eyed sandies and a guy on here called them hampshire reds but al in all its long gone, now ,the days im talking about ,and like the dinosaurs guys like me etc the gov would want to keep bleepers on them they dont like free rangers as we used to call them all the best greyhoond firrets as they said up my way auld scottch talk etc
