How come you don't trust collies around kids if you don't mind me asking
-
Thanks mate for the advice, I'm in no rush I'd rather wait for the right dog but a 1k plus to me seems silly money considering the price pre pandemic but if anyone is selling the right type of dog at the right price it will have a forever working home so feel free to message me lol

Thanks mate for the advice, I was thinking a Bedlington whippet would the terrier make it abit head strong or are they pretty laid back? Regarding the sprogs it will be installed in them that messing about as such won't be tolerated and the kitchen will have a gate on so he or she can have some down time. I've looked online and the prices of lurchers are mental is this due to covid and hopefully prices will become more sensible.

Hello I hope this is in the correct section, Im really into my ferreting and after Convincing my other half we have agreed to get a lurcher. I never owned a dog before so ideally I'm looking for something that is forgiving and can Learn with me if that make sense so what mix of breeds would you surgest. I also have 3 kids and a baby on the way can you have a working dog aswell as a family pet or is it one or the other. I know the Internet is fall of info but has anyone got some good surgestions for a book that's worth a read? Atb chris

What a pain in the aris this is turning into, phoned all my local butchers to see if they have any cheap off cuts etc for my ferrets and all of them told me they don't sell cheap off cuts and that they pretty much just buy it in pre prepped.... Which i thought is abit huh so really no different from the butchers in tesco's just with a premium price! What ratios do you give I'm gunna get some chicken wings, liver, heart and high fat minced beef

Thanks everyone for your help, il start feeding at night to save on the flys! I have dry food but I thought raw would be a more natural food for em. I recently acquired a couple of youngish Jill's and they are soo messy compared to my hob I cleaned there hutches yesterday and already all the shavings I've put out have ended up outside the hutch ? and their food bowl ended up in their Sleeping quarters ha

Hello when feeding diced raw meat how long do you leave it in their hutch for and also a whole rabbit? I have a horse feed suppliers near me and they do them massive bags of shavings that will work out cheaper in the long run is this type of product ok to use in my ferret hutch? Thank you

As my previous post I recently rescued a pet hob and being unproven in the field I was not sure how he would get on anyway I got a phone call from a recently acquired perm asking if I could do some ferreting (I did explain its out of season but wanting to keep the land owner happy I said I'd see what I can do). So I pack my gear into the car and off I went. On arrival I collar him up and found a couple of small Warren's that I thought would be perfect. Put the nets down and placed him near the hole and after a couple of mins off he went down (I have tubing in his hutch that I've never seen him

Hello I'm looking to start ferreting again after doing a fair bit in my youth, now that I'm older it'll be nice to get out with my little lads. Am I right in saying I'm abit early to start seeing kits for sale as I can't seem to find any on the usual gumtree etc. I'd like a couple of hobs as that's what I used to have and they worked really well. Thanks Chris

Ta for now?
