    I'm glad people like Beta, but to be honest I have always found it to be too rich. I have had a number of pups fed on it by their breeders, but when they have come to me, there numbr 2's have been soft and watery. Could also be the change of owner I suppose. But I have always changed them on to Chudley, and have never had a problem. I feel chudleys has the right balance for a dog, although I am sure like all dog food it will not suit all dogs. But works for me. Ian

    Never met Peter Jones, but have soken to him. I rang him as i was after a cocker bitch, he didnt have any he said he'd have a look round for me ( i didnt think any more of it) The next day i had an answer phone message him, saying he had rung aroud a few places and found a cocker bitch for me. I found him realy helpful.

    I am looking at getting a new kennel block. Probably 6 kennels and a feed store. They will need to be chew proof, and I would be interested in insulated kennels. Has anyone any suggestions of which companies to look at? Would I be better getting two three's or a straight six? Pictures also welcome. Any advice would be gratefully received. Thanks in advance. Ian

    I wouldn't recommend an HPR to train as a first dog unless you have a lot of ground to train it on, and have someone that you can get advice from. Labs and spaniels would be a better bet in my opinion. Ian
  15. eshielsgundogs
    It would depend on if the dog is gun shy or gun nervous? I would recommend a lab, to balance your team. Ian

    Then you may want to try Nicola Hannan, not in the North East, but as a beautiful stud dog named Rogan, she may be able to point you in the right direction. http://www.druimmuirspaniels.co.uk/ All the best in your search. Ian

    I'm hoping to have a litter middle to end of March if you are looking for working labs. You can check out my website it will give you the details. I'm not that far from the North East. All the best. Ian

    All mole traps are 'spring loaded'. If you dont know what type they are, post us a picture. They type of trap will determine how you set it. Hi There, It's a mole claw trap. Thanks Ian
  22. eshielsgundogs
    Hi mate, you might only have one mole as they can push up a few heaps. If the traps are brand new they may take a day or two to catch. Most folks leave them in a stream or the like for a few days. What kind of traps are they. If they are the Duffus half barrel type, find the run between the last two newest heaps and take out a hole just big enough for the trap, and set it. Cover with some loose soil to exclude light, more if its frosty. If you type in the search box at the top of the page, it'll bring up all previous articles on moles. good luck ian. Thanks Ian for your reply. They are

    Over the last few weeks we seem to have a new family of moles moved in to the bottom of our garden. Which is directly on to fields. I have bought some spring traps, is it as straight forward as I think. Do you just place the trap in the tunnel, and cover the trap back over with soil. How long should you leave them? Thanks Ian

    I have seen hpr working in woodland but the area needs to be pretty clear to see through the trees. What is amazing is seeing the hpr breed work on the moor, it really does take your breath away. I did a training day with hpr with a friend, and some of the dogs were complete rubbish, and a couple were very good. So what ever you go for check the quality of breeding. Some hpr's can be quite noisey. Ian
  25. eshielsgundogs
    I would go for a lab for the first dog, although I don't agree they are easier to train than a spaniel, because all dogs are different. I wouldn't use a hpr for rough shooting they are better on the moor pointing and retrieving. If you want a trained or part trained dog I could point you in the right direction, just pm me. All the best with your choice. Ian
