    I flew a female hh bred by John ackerman and she was flown at 2 lb 81/2 oz but the heaviest she flew at was 2lb 10 oz and caught 2 mallards at that weight.Im afraid size means little to me however and i prefere the agility of a male hh but thats just personal opinion

    I promise i will get a picture of him up this week...Im still stuck at 2 rabbits due to myxie hitting again but the buggar has caught 2 cock pheasants on the rise ..he thinks hes a hunting cat on the african planes the way he leaps at them lol

    Well done Penny im glad to see shuck is doing so well :thumbs:

    If you fancy a change go for it and try to go out with a goshawer for the day.I did this a few seasons ago and i ended up sticking with the hh as the flight style didnt suit my way of hunting plus the fact that we spent more time looking for the gos with the telemetry than hunting(gamebirds)I have heard of goshawks following on and hunting from the soar like a hh but have never seen it yet,they may be just creatures of myth used to hunt unicorns.I dont think there flight style is as versatile as a hh,they are best flown from the fist

    Hes never been footed by the hawk but if the dogs get to close the hawk opens his wings and screams at them which sends them scappering.Forgot to say he is very friendly with both people and other dogs when out but he is very protective in the house and garden.

    Penny are you sure theres no hyeana in the breeding as Nim comes back with something dead every time i take him out .Hes started to slow down growth wise now hes just over 26" and he weighs 65lb at nearly 10 months old.His nose is exellent when out in the field and usually puts something up,hes very birdy and has twice come back with a mouthful of pheasant tail feathers although he hides behind the sofa if im in the house with the Hawk .He also has an incredibly loud deep bark and takes his guarding very seriously,this may come possibly from the airedale side.Im pleased to say he is everythin

    Update on the male harris hawk,i have now finally caught a rabbit with him so i can now say he has caught fur and feather with me.I only get a few flights at fur each season due to mxy on the land i hunt so every rabbit is a bonus.He has also caught a female mallard and another pheasant this week and is flying strong at 1lb 9 1/2 oz.If the people who sent me a pm are still interested please get in contact with me

    Penny,the pup looks like its coming on well.She is way in front of Nim who spends most of his time playing around or sleeping on my lap(hes getting far to big for that).He seems to have taken an interest in feather and like to flush the phesants with the terriers.He seems very cautious of the harris hawk however and i thinks he thinks it wants to eat him,the big softy

    Selling for a mate,a six year old male harris hawk.I have been flying this hawk for a couple of months now as my mate split up from his misses and he needed somewhere for the hawk to stay.He had hunted rabbits with the hawk before it did a couple of seasons sat in an avery.I have been flying him for a couple of months and have taken 6 moorhens and a phessy with him but we have no rabbits here and it is a waste of a good bunny hawk.He is quiet in the garden and hunts at between 1lb 9 and 1lb 10 depending on weather.The hawk comes with new anklets and jesses,tailbell and a bow perch and high per

    I finally got around to picking up my pup from Skycat yesterday and i would like to say it was a pleasure to finally meet her.All her dogs were in exellent shape and the pups all looked fantastic although im sure mine looked the best.I could not believe how laid back,friendly and more importantly how well behaved her pack was.I just hope i can do you and the pup proud,what a terrific lady

    Well done with the steadyness of the plummer,most terriers just arn't steady enough to be worked with hawks,especially those from digging stock.I think the lakie may well be to headstrong to make a hawking dog as he is from working stock but we will see

    Took my hawk out of the mews to clean and disenfect the other month and put it on the lawn on his bow perch.Never noticed he had nearly snapped his jesses by biting them and as he started baiting they snapped and off he flew.Took me a week to catch him but it serves me right for being complacent and not checking his equipment
  20. adeyhawk1970
    You need total control over a good hawking dog thats why the easier trained breeds like a cocker or a brittany are often chosen over a terrier.My young Lakie has a far better nose than my wifes jack russel (could just be the strain)but his obedience when working is non existant although to be honest he is young and may well take over the jack russell someday.The jack russell hunts but only flushes quarry when told and never chases.Her only problem is both her and the harris love hunting blackbirds,thankfully they have never caught any

    I use my wifes jrt bitch for a bit of ratting and to work with hawks.Shes nine inches at the shoulder and weights nine pound but she works very well.I will try to remember to take the camera with me when i start hawking again and take some pics
  22. adeyhawk1970
    I worked my wifes 3 year old jack russel bitch with my male harris last season and she was great.Only trouble was the pair of them working together decimated the moorhen population She is very easy to control when out with the hawk plus when the bird is moulting i get to go ratting with her.Ive got a great lakey as well but hes only 9 months old so he will need to learn a lot before he gets to go out with them both as his manners when out hunting are still lacking :realmad: :realmad:

    Please check again i have asked for permission and if the owner of the dogs wishes them removed i will be more than happy to delete the pics as the last thing i want to do is upset anyone
  24. adeyhawk1970
    Yes i did ask his permission as these were the only pics ive ever seen of a irish terrier working.Seem to be able to find lots of pics of airedales working every thing from small game(foxes and such )to large game(bear,lion and boar).The working airedale in the us must be a lot more common than the working irish terrier

    Those coyotes are caught in leg hold traps that can be dragged so as to stop the animal from chewing off there own leg.The Dogs have to find the coyotes or foxes that have dragged away the traps and bay until the hunter finds them.I think its called PEST CONTROL Judging by the pictures, i think he would do just as well with a pair of binoculars, as that pair of dogs. Pest control ? and heres me thinking he was gonna eat them. I would think a lot off the prey found in the traps could be in cover but to be honest im not sure only going by what ive been told as i dont hu
