Had a look out ratting this afternoon and i took the pointer along.He is slowly learning the game........very slowly

looks like a nice little mixed pack you have. he is a fair size now . fun day by the look of it. like the red dog

I guess its unusual for pointers to go ratting but seeing as i own one he may aswell join in sometimes.

The way i see it is that the alternative would be to own more terriers and have other dogs left in kennels which just seems mad.Although i go ratting fairly regularly i dont take big numbers of rats.In most situations i go ratting day or night you only need one or terriers to get into tight spots or under stuff,once rats are running about a good ratting lurcher is deadly and i think a pointer will be the same.Obviously if i was getting loads of rats id have more terriers,but then if i was doing more ratting i wouldnt find time to do as much rabbiting and bushing so would end up with underused big dogs

 

 

I like the red dog too both Red and my lurcher Tess are six years old and i have little to complain about.They have both worked OK for me.

how did the white and red dog get on?

[pointer 543]

She wasnt there today but i had her out last night running after a few rats.she is doing ok.........our lass took her on so its her dog.like her other terrier she will go bushing everyday and catch a couple of rats every week or so.Nothing special...........just a pet dog that is taken hunting occasionally.

sounds like my wifes blue whippet.

i get some funny looks if i say im taking it out lamping

[pointer 543]

The most important thing for me is that my dogs are out of kennels doing something.Anything is better than nothing.

[Big bald beautiful 1,231]
