    We do use them were possible but it wouldn't work very well on those deep bracken beds, some days they just don't want to bolt it's just one of those things,

    That's what's I predominately wanted her for, marking ability, anything else is a bonus. We have that much ground to cover a lot of time could be wasted netting up empty warrens

    As per usuall we were on the fell just as day broke once we had the ferrets collered up and gear ready we made our way slowly up the fell side onto the bracken beds watching the lurcher, waiting for a mark, first set was a nice easy 6holer. This was the view from on top of the warren first few rabbits were soon in the bag, then the rabbits just didn't want to bolt resulting in a few digs 6in total luckily 2foot seamed to be the deepest onwards and upwards just following the lurchers nose, we ended the day with 10 6of which were digs. happy hunting Neil b

The first set the lurcher marked was a nice little 7holes, ferret in and in no time rabbit number 1 in the bag then we moved on into the wood the lurcher marked some deep ivy so nets on checked for any more holes checked again and ferret in, a few minuites later bunny was on the move, the lurcher tracking progress moving around the warren then from under the deep ivy out of an un netted bolt hole out bolts the rabbit away into thick cover, nothi

    After being asked to have a look at reducing the rabbit population on a local stable yard we had a look mid week with the lamp, we saw about a dozen, then yesterday at first light I had a walk with the lurchers, there were a good number of rabbits bouncing all over the hedge so this morning saw us armed with 400yards of quick set longnets half a dozen stop nets, a bag of small purse nets and a couple of boxes of ferrets. We started off running the nets full length down both sides of the hedge, then strategically placed some stop nets through the hedge in various places with purse nets on we

We then just followed the lurcher were ever she ma

    Iv got a half bred hancock collie greyhound bitch the sire was Arthur she is just coming up 2years old.i am more than happy with her so far I have only used her for ferreting so far, she has picked it up really well marking holes working with nets ect. I'd recommend one to anyone, give them a ring and have a chat,
