    Hi all Does or has anyone shipped dogs abroad? I have the opportunity to relocate to Canada/US & obviously dont & wont go without my dogs (2 lurchers & 2 terriers) I imagine its complicated & expensive however if they dont go then neither do i If anyone knows or has experience of the procedure then any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers The Chimp

    Had a good season weather has been a nuisance around xmas particularly I started out in early september not really knowing what to expect having got a collie/greyhound bitch from local rescue in may & weve gone from strength to strength, i was certain that the first time i slipped her she would bugger off & that would be that but she didnt & weve had some great sport on rabbits large & small :whistle: just a few months ago i came by a pup of unknown breeding allegedly a greyhound & she had her first night last week & caught 2 on the trot followed by 3 a couple of nights

    Its a dog mate if it were a fox you would be able to draw an imaginary straight line between its main back pad & its 2 outside pads if you see what i mean? a bit difficult to explain without a diagram, thats a nice looking dog youve got there mate!! Best Regards The Chimp

    Mines a 110 ex V8 with a replacement 2.8 trooper engine in & its awesome! tough as old boots with trooper reliability & cheap landy running gear-no frills no gadgets just simple like me,if you wanna watch hounds working you just clamber up on the roof or cut the top of garden hedge stand on the bonnet&trim away.Had a variety of 4wd,s & for off roading this 110&previous trooper have been the best,the jap stuff is so expensive&complicated!!

    Which bassets are you off to see mate?they are much better than squeaky old beagles! ! when they really own a line the cry from them is pure magic!slow perhaps but it can be some of the best houndwork to watch!!ive seen the warwks beagles a few times & was impressed Best Regards The Chimp

    I have got or i think ive got a W/GXS/w pup (if i wasnt a technological f***wit id post some pics!) & i was wondering if anyonelse had one & what is/are they like? Shes about 11months old & i got her from a pet home-they couldnt keep her for personal reasons & she seems to have a fair amount of ability & is fairly obedient with the basics at least, shes bloody sharp,before i collected her they described her as a greyhound pup which she definately isnt, 21/22 inches at the shoulder with a saluki type head just wondered if anyone else had anything similar & how has he/she

    AMEN to that ROB to me hunting whether its with ferret,lurcher,hound,terrier,horse or whatever is all about what it means to that particular individual & how they interperate it,that is something the anti,s will never understand! nor take from us good hunting folk!! Good hunting to all The Chimp

    I reckon STIHL chainsaw boots are about the best boots for the job if a bit heavy! waterproof/thornproof/well protected/warm & compfey-tweed thornproof jacket is pretty much the same spec too. Oh in case i forget a spade is an essential piece of kit-for all that diggin!! :whistle: The Chimp

    My personal preference of ferret is one that doesnt bite/skulk or leave a rabbit underground dead or otherwise & i believe providing you dont make a bloody great racket on or around your intended warren & work downwind of it there shouldnt be to many lie-ups,there are of course going to be times when digging is unavoidable & rather than hanging about waiting half an hour for rabbits to bolt i think its better to give it 5 mins try & find a consistent mark & get on with it & get the job moving again , it also depends on what sort of sett your working ie if its a big old

    Now heres an idea!! the next time someone gets a definate sighting i will turn up with my bloodhound&rotty/terriers&lurchers & have a bash at hunting it! completely legal as it would be classed as a non british mammal & probably very good fun! the old hound will hunt just about anything-the neighbours terrier :whistle: ,the neighbour&his family ,people on push bikes :ph34r: ,the missus etc etc etc the rest of them can finish the job off PS no reference to hunting big pussies thankyou The Chimp

    Hi John I started up last year pretty much the same as you after having a lurcher or two some years back i got involved again & bought & borrowed a few books I found Jackie Drakefords-Understanding the working lurcher & Plummers The new complete lurcher to be informative & entertaining reads, both have useful ideas & info but as always no one persons views are gospel but they do give you a good base to start on & make your own judgements Regards The Chimp

    Hi i also got the netmaking kit The Hob spoke about & found it very good ,personally the traditional method as shown proved to be the easier of the two to make, i now have lots & lots of lovely hemp nets & not a nylon one in sight thank god!! (just my personal preference) Regards The Chimp

    Thats a smart looking pup Hob , a good mate of mine has one very similar in looks & breeding hope shes as good for you as his is for him Best Regards The Chimp

    I suppose it all depends on whether you go just for sport or on a pest control exercise--sport you leave them be for another season but if are having to please your landowners then you keep buggering in & accept the consequences ie: lay ups on little uns , it may mean the difference in keeping permission in some cases-i personally keep going as long as possible & start again as soon as conditions ie: undergrowth & temperature allow The Chimp

    Afernoon T.J. If you have any access to a portamag magnotherapy unit theyre definately worth a go i can vouch for their effectiveness on greyhounds & cant see why it woudnt help your JRT most trainers use them if you happen to know any? theyre horrendously expensive to buy though your oldman sounds a goodun!!
