    how old is that gunthough, they stopped making them a long time ago, you could get a brand new escort with a 3 year garantee for not much more than that, or a bit more and get a baikal mp153 (rugged reliable guns)...remington 11-87, es100, benelli m2, vinci, al391, sx3...get something that will last, something that fits, the options are endless the problem with the beretta a303 as mentioned in previous post is it would be abit dodgy putting alot of steel loads through it you would be mad to put high performance steel through it and you should only use light loads of slow steel through qua

    Jmo but it sounds like it's just a strong adolescent that's getting protective of it's catch? maybe it just associates another dog as losing it's prey? Now he's just big enough and strong enough to protect what he caught. If you think that much of him and want to make a go of it with the pup then maybe you could try working him near a well trained, steady dog. One that's not going to try and make a grab for the quarry, won't whimper, bark, jump about etc. and will stay calmly at heel. Then just walk the other dog over to him whilst he's with the quarry. Then if he has a go at the other do

    Found the thread! Any chance of an update? I believe you kept the Brindle dog in the end didn't you?

    There was a female member on here that bred a 1/2X litter. They must be over a year old by now? I'll do a search see if I can find the thread.

    Just looking through the web, your lucky to get one, their not coming into the country in any quantity until November and most people seem to be pre-ordering them before they even arrive! All good reviews from all the ones I've read, looks like a good buy

    Skinners Rough and Ready, anything they catch and any cheap meat/fish I can get thats going out of shelf life at Morrisons. Then of course all scraps and left overs.

    I do both, Walking for pleasure and sport on my permission on Sundays during the season and driving for pest control on a friends permission. We go out most Friday's throughout the year in the back of a truck with a couple of friends and their rifles when the estate cuts the silage off, take the crops down etc. and then all through the winter, we can cover a few thousand acres in a night. I use the dog to retrieve anything shot from the back of the truck as it's usually quicker than us jumping out everytime to get it but can also run her as much as I like. Basically I can get more game put i

    Was a real good craic last year, will definately be going again this year. The missus should be driving by then so should be able to sup a cider or three. Lets hope the weathers as good as last year. ATB

    Depends on how and on what it jacked? With toothed quarry it may just get too much work for it to handle? some of the scooby boys will be putting several in front of a dog a night, most nights of the week. Not many dog's can take that kind of strain so would give up, but for most of us if we had the same dog we would never test them that hard so we'd never find out if they'd jack or not? Then again, some dogs just don't like getting bitten. As for Rabbits, I didn't realise dogs would jack on them??? Do they just stop running them or what?

    I met one of these Hounds on Friday, it was a lovely little dog, very timid but it was in a crowd of people so maybe a bit over awed with the situation? Looks like she's getting there and as you said, slowly slowly catchy monkey!!

    Been told that's supposed to be an effective way of dispatching geese, as their necks are so flexible a smack with a stick/priest doesn't always work and it's no use swinging them around by their heads hoping the neck would break! Then again, you could just learn to shoot straight!!!

    Thank you for the kind words but I think it was more luck than judgement on how well they cooked! never tried cooking a whole rack on the bbq before. As Malt said this was from a Road kill the dog found in the hedge whilst out walking... Earth my mother-in-law has the exact same problem everytime she has Venison! Ideation, I'll definately be trying those marinades next time, esspecially that honey/soy. I think that'd go really well with Venison.

    I think one major advantage of having a dog with lot's of white on it, You can see it easily in the lamp! and one major disadvantage... It can be seen easliy at night!

    I've seen some real fat labs off the gun peg struggling to catch runners before but most fit, healthy dogs should be able to catch one. Spanials and Labs are regularly used to pick runners so a lurcher shouldn't struggle in the least.

    Cheers Mush, she's getting there. This winter we'll see what she's really got in the tank. Lee, I've tried making my own bbq sauce... it didn't go well! lol From all the marinades I've tried, the 'Flava-it' ones are some of the nicest, quickest and cheapest you can get.

    Take one of these - Add one of these - And one of these - Mix until you get a set of these - Add some of this - Pop it on one of these - Serve like this! - Voila!!! BBQ'd Venison Chops.... and Yes, they did taste as good as they look!!!!

    Road work is one of those boring nessities! I just jump on the bike and do a few miles, a few times a week with mine. I tend to ride fairly steady to start with then build up to as fast as I can ride (not very fast for the dog though!!) just to stretch their legs a bit then drop back to a steady pace. A couple of miles will get the dog's tongues out and help their feet a bit.

    Sorry Rob, just seen this post. Firstly thank you for the compliment!!! but it was mainly Roo and not a lot to do with me! He was hard work to start with training wise, just getting the basics into him was hard enough. But in the field he taught me, not the other way round. I just gave him the opportunity. Personally I think he was a really good dog and I'll be struggling not to compare any new dog with what he could do. As he was from a rescue I don't actually know his breeding, for all we know he could of been from really good breeding but just wasn't given the chance he needed and g

    I was told young, inexperienced rabbits for young, inexperienced dogs... With them cutting the silage down, and plenty of young Rabbits about that are used to hiding in long grass then I'd of thought it the perfect time to start a young dog off. I suppose it depends on your area but we've had a bit of rain so the ground still has a bit of give in it. Each to their own I guess but I'd have it out for a slip or two. As for tips for your first time then just take it steady, it's not a race to get your first rabbit. Try and find a squatter out away from the hedge(trying to lie flat in the g

    I tried Bailer Twine when I first started Lamping. My hand had gone blue from the lack of blood by the time we got back to the car! So got some Kevlar rope from work and spliced it back on itself to form a loop, then whipped the end to stop it fraying, worked a treat! Lost it one night during the excitement so have now swapped to sewing a lorry strap into a loop, then cutting it to length with a heated knife. Done in a few mins and much comfier then rope.
