town or country

[Guest smashygadge]

hi all im new to this site,ive been into my running dogs for last year.

i used to live in a village and never bothered with lurchers as i was a staff breeder

and running dogs never crossed my mind even tho freinds did it.

well i moved to the city of all places and got my first dog as u will see in pik.

i fell in love with lamping and ferreting,and thought what id missed when i did live out in

the countryside.saying that while i lived in a town i had no problems with taking my dog onto local

farms to run a few bunnys and most were happy for me to ferret and lamp.

 

anyway i decided time had come to move back to a village. obviously the fields space and the

benifit of rabbits in their hundreds on a single field. but ive been here for 3 months and found

the landowners aint farmers they are posh snobs who dnt like u on their land the police have been

at my door on numorous occations and said iam steriotiped as a poacer as i keep running dogs

and wear combat trousers when walking.thats when iam aloud to take a walk as when i do now

i get some big no it all asking and qeustioning my actions so i now find it harder in the country than

i did living in the city.has anyone had any simmilar problems .

 

anyway iam new to site and would like to say hi to all people that love their running dog.

ive added my male he is rocky 1 year old beardie collie greyhound 27 to shouler

yea i no exactly what u mean and i would never put a dog in that danger

a freind off mine was walkin his dog home last week in a built up area and his dog took off after somthing across a field that 2 had broke its neck in a wire fence .so i think and no that owners should atleast have common sense to no what situation and what can happen upon a dog being of the lead or slipping their dog
