Line Bred Lurchers And How Many Generations Your In
Chaff replied to poxon's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
To be honest this dog has been out every winter from about 5 months young, Has what I consider a high prey drive (pulled Mrs into road trying to catch a stag beetle over night) I wouldn't mind if he wasn't quite so full on all the time. My mates beddy whippet collie Rex is very chilled in comparison he still catches but only when Taz is occupied. In the 3 years of owning this dog he has cost a few quid in vet bills, and I now have a degree in salt water bathing. He line bred Jeff Burrell. -
Shocking news of all the dangers a working dog faces :a compost heap ffs, never heard of it before,feel for you fella. Time will heal atb

Had a years subscription repeats its self some what. Got to a point when I only looked at letters page and what's for sale. Only downside to not getting every week is not having fire lighting material.

Chaff replied to top dog 1's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
I would of dogs and all or put on back seat had a nice set of catapults on him too,reminds me when I stopped for a freshly hit fallow had Mrs on front end and me on back couldn't lift high enough to get in truck.I drove away almost in tears -
8 poles and basket required don't mind used or second hand grommets needed Sewell. Cheers

Very good cross I bet Collie brain Suluki stamina and feet Greyhound speed However if it were to get the collie speed greyhound/suluki brain and grey feet then not so good I guess. Hope the bitch is still making progress.

Cheers for the links arry will put them in my favourites, any advice taken with thanks mate. I get my advice from mates that have kept them for years one old boy told me no such thing as a sick ferret"they either alive or dead " ?Anyway she still going but not very active my wife took her to work today to keep the fluids and antibiotics going in her. I really hope she makes a comeback and becomes a good worker:) Cheers

Nice dogs cold pint is the pup out of the old bitch. Khan jihad sure did cover a few, good to hear of workers making old bones. Atb with the youngster mate

https://youtu.be/u9Dg-g7t2l4 Good cover I thought
-
For sure if were my daughter I would not bother with old bill just stick him in hole an bury the c**t.
-
She's got a bit more life in her now. Might pull through after all, I really surprised still early days could still go tits, her sister has a lot of work to do in the morning
-
No milk mate first time yesterday only a thimble full. She still going might turn around yet.
-
She still alive,I am keeping honey and water going in her just had another antibiotic injection at vets 25 squid. Should never of let kids name them now they more attached than ever to this crook ferret it going to cost me a fortune. Lol
-
if your giving it cows milk that will make it poorly.. ferrets are lactose intolerant. and the old boy in the pub is talking out of his pint pot.. raw chicken bones wont harm them,especially wings etc etc.. baked in the oven chicken bones become brittle and can shatter,causing problems..but raw is soft and easily digested. Fair does mate she had cow juice this morning thought it might pick her up bad move by the sounds, just given her a drop of honey and water opened box and she put her head out the top seems to have picked up a tad, perhaps antibiotics are working ?
-
Just had chat to old boy in pub that know his ferrets said raw chicken bones they can damage gut and cause infection ?
-
Exactly I don't know what the cause of it could be?
-
Mrs took to get 45 quid later antibiotics Celine injection she then latched to wife's thumb got her with me in carrybox kids giving her honey and water through a syringe every couple of hours, vet said 50/50 chance she has a stomach infection she pooing green now ! No idea where she got it from
-
Yeah she drinking have had her drinking from saucer OK, wife has just took both to vets its now going to cost but having to start again will be a long time before I can get another as from a 30+ year working strain and want to keep with them. Also the Chance's of someone gifting me a good working ferret this time of year are slim. Time will tell I guess
-
Just had a mate round he didn't think she was on deaths door as drinking well and eating dry food 2 days ago I gave them a couple of chicken legs (raw) that's the only thing different they have eaten and the other ones fine,hopefully she will start to pick up I am checking on her every hour or so.
-
After defreezing their water bottle this morning only one ferret came out the other not moving alive but limp just given her some warm milk and put her back to bed be gutted if she goes was showing signs of a good worker,life lesson for my kids if she goes as they have named them
-
??????? really..........I want two then Yeah mate in SA has them as guard They just don't like dark skin, but he did used to beat them with a golly as pups.
-
Was going to say the same - put a scoop full of crap in the place you want them to crap next time you clean them out. Cheers for advice fellas I am shoveling shit every morning going to make sleeping box smaller tomorrow and see what happens
-
Like the idea of the seed tray compost bog must make life easier when cleaning out. Also save a bit on bedding might give that go Cheers Chaff

Yep:)
