One more doubt... At what age do you start groping your ferrets?! When do you separate them from their mother?

Each hunter carries his own pack. By law, each hunter must carry a maximum of 4 dogs. This means that a couple of hunters can take 8 dogs. But when there are 3-4 (or more) this is called "Cuadrilla" and the number of dogs allowed is a maximum of 12. Even so, these numbers are too often broken, exceeding the number of dogs by 1 or 2 more.

In the rest of Spain, hunting with ferrets is illegal. They are only exceptionally carried out in places with overpopulation. In the Canary Islands the ferret is used, and the use of the net is seen as unsportsmanlike, so it has been illegalized.

Both partners have said that they put their ferrets in the hole from 5 months of age. Do you too? Do you do any specific training if you want to go after rats?! I would like to hunt more ferret-focused than dog-focused. In our land the ferret is a mere auxiliary, not a major player.... The treatment given to them here is not as good as I see in countries like yours.

We don't put ferrets with other predators, they are usually accidents. The only predator that can be found in the cat, in some mountain of stones. Although lately it is also possible to find California king snakes. Yes, mate, here we use dogs. Podenco, to locate and capture the rabbit, we do not have such a heterogeneous team as in England. The nets are not used, they are illegal in our community.

Hello! As I said in my presentation, I am from the Canary Islands. Here we also have ferrets to hunt rabbits, but I think the methods vary a lot from those used in other countries. So my doubt is a bit general.... How do you do it? At what age does the ferret go to the hole?! First with rabbits or with rats?! Do your ferrets have to face a bigger hunter, like a cat ? Thanks.

Hello!I would like to clarify some things since I am from the Canary Islands. First of all, the nets here are illegal. You can't use nets in sport, so either the dogs or we must catch the rabbit. Secondly, there is no digging here.... If the ferret doesn't come out you try to plug the exits and come back for it the same evening or the next day. The volcanic soil makes rescue impossible. Thirdly, although it may not seem like it... Our dogs grow old... Hahahaha. It is more than 300 years of adaptation to the environment. For some reason... They hang in there. A pleas

Hello! I am a canary hunter who has arrived here by chance and is eager to learn about the Anglo-Saxon hunting world. My English is very bad and I usually use translators. Don't be too hard on me. Regards!
