  1. Cracking vid, want to do more bolting to the dog next season!
  2. Got to love the little bundles of energy! I've got a tailless sandy jill that scampers around a warren with pure joy. One day we we're picking up the ferrets and she was the last, went to pick her up, she made a cheeky chattering noise, turned round and scampered off down the hedge and down a hole, i thought, she's not finished yet, next minute the dogs head goes down a hole, rabbit bolts and the dog courses it across the field turns it and back nets itself, result! It's great to watch ferret and dog working as a team. I just got my own ferrets this season and i've watched as they've deve
  3. I had no problems breaking my 4 year old lurcher toferrets. It probably depends on how the dog is raised, my dog goes everywhere with me and has been shown not to bother cats, chickens and stuff. An ex track greyhound is a completely different story!
  4. Great stuff. How old are your kids lads? Had my lad out a couple of times but he's not quite there yet, gets bored too quickly and sulks in the landy till his Mam comes to get him! Think i need to do some short sessions just him and me.
  5. Oh, and here in cornwall they call hob ferrets 'dog ferrets'
  6. No, the middle one is a cornish hedge. The top one is a dry stane dyke lol.
  7. Isn't that illegal quarry? Don't mention any names!
  8. What's the small dog rabbiting man, beddy, beddy x whippet? Is it a good busher? Thinking of getting one myself. Cheers
  9. Certainly will. I'm thinking about crossing my lurcher to a good beddy bitch. He's 22" with a 3/4 whippet 1/4 beddy sire and lurcher to lurcher dam. He's got a half decent coat on him so maybe I would get a decent busher plus a bit. I've no idea about breeding though so feel free to ridicule?
  10. I did it! This thread was like the war and peace of forum threads. Unfortunately though, I'm not allowed to keep a working beddy unless i work it to ground! Seriously though, great thread. I'm pretty sure a beddy x will be on the cards in the near future.
  11. Speaking of table scraps,what's everyone's opinion on giving them cooked meat with bones in small amounts? I know it's supposed to be a no no and I rarely do but our dogs growing up got anything, including the chicken carcass from the family roast, if we could afford one, sometimes it was just mince?. They always seemed to thrive on whatever they got. Dogs must have survived on cooked bones since they were domesticated surely? I did give mine a fair bit of venison bone left over from a camp fire cook up recently and he did have a couple of very hard stools so moderation may be the key?
  12. Don't you know never to ask a girl's age?
  13. Nah, I'd feel a right prick. Bet blacky would love it though.
  14. Tried that but we've got a sandy loam here and it can chafe a bit. What you need is a nice silty loam, slippery.
  15. Looking good down here for tomorrow night. Good bit of wind forecast and moons setting at 9:30 p.m. can't wait! Where do people get their forecasts from? The BBC and met office sites ain't as good as they used to be.
  16. There goes another good thread!
  17. And we present to our followers; Another quality thread from The Hunting Life???
  18. Really like the look of this dog, not that I'm envious or anything! Wouldn't want to come across him in the woods mind you?
