    i think its down to the individual pups maturity, a lighter more whippetty type might be physically ready earlier than a larger heavier type but for me recall must be 100% before i'd think about it, i'd much rather spend an extra month training than risk spoiling a pup by trying too early

    One of the funniest things ive saw and it happened that quick .......a few years ago a big hob ( bud....we call them all after drinks) of ours wandered off unnoticed, jazz who was wandering free hopped the fence picked him up maybe 30yds away and brought a very grumpy ferret back live to hand, never done it again, no harm done to any party but really funny

    Maybe collie x sub sections for 3/4 breds, first xs and 3/8ths - 58ths...and a fourth for reverse 3/4 breds.....and a special section for merles only.... Split into blue Merle, red Merle & wall eyed And split further for Hancock bred dogs.....and then specific sire categories.... Think it's a winner this one Ross... maybe then a wee sub forum for rough and smooth coated

    maybe a collie x section...............

    everyone develops their own style mate, there are some do's n don'ts though, my advice check out you tube....tons of lamping vids on there, try and find someone trustworthy / reliable/ experienced locally to show you the ropes.......the biggest bestest tip i can give you....have fun

    just googled it......magnetic therapy........clinical trials 2003.....1st used 2006 for leg ulcers......benefits for alzhiemers.......theres lots of clinical rather than anecdotal evidence and it would appear mainstream medicine as opposed to holistic / alternative therapists is accepting it more

    nine pic, bet he keeps you on your toes lol, had my lad(26) round sat night went for meal, bloody hell they grow up quick, enjoy him while he young, like the little terrier is it a jack .? Yes she's a jack Ray, she's a decent marker, use her for ratting and general mooching and bushing, she likes to be involved in everything... As does the lad he's 7 now and already knows more than me about everything lol... Definitely keep you on your toes lol Cheers Rob... at 7........wait till hes 15 lol

    with no disrespect intended i think it would be best if you got yourself out and about with a few different guys who worked different types / breeds you'd maybe be better placed to make an informed decision, ie not all bull types are the same and some collie lines are all balls, a wee bit of research now could save much heartache later

    she's 5 past, ive thought long and hard and spoke to lots of folks about this........my best ever, once in a lifetime (from late 70's early 80's) was grey / deer x grey / collie so something like trevor w's 'bruce' (who is a cracking 1st x and soooooooo well bred) would get my heart vote but unfortunately we don't have the same freedoms we did then so is this really the road to follow ? .....my head vote says the collie x i like them they suit me but what a choice and how much collie do you use ? 3/4 greyhound....'indie' .... 1st x 'bryn' ..... 3/8 'don' ....... if he were still avaliable

    numbers game no..............one to hand yeah....keep it friendly guys

    great wee vid and one of my dozen or so ........... and for ideation its not so much compare as admire and i know some like scottish hare hunters 'mia' , rays 'bryn' , the 'don' dog, borderscots merle dog and many more of similar quality have still to put in an appearance.....they're maybe just trying to be fashionably late and make an entrance lol Out of the dogs i've actually seen in the flesh work. . . . in her day i'd honestly pick J.B's Gem. . . . and i'm not saying that because he is a mate. I've never hunted with a dog as tuned in to what is going on as her, she's done what need

    its hard not to like them eh ? they have their faults but the positives outweigh the negatives, mines is two past and her retrieving is still slowly getting better but i'd rather have a dog that caught stuff and didn't retrieve than one that couldn't catch
  19. birddog
    have a look at some of the earlier pics in the thread..........on the right ground a good lamper will take that many in an hour

  21. birddog
    why not ? ditto
  22. birddog
    we had genuine concerns when introducing our jazz to our aging grumpy lakey but a wee bit of patience and a good understanding of the ground rules and they were fine, the pup knew not to push it too much and eventually bramble was fine (but still grumpy lol)

    Is that dog tweedle dum x greyhound?its the double of mine except mines black n white she is mate, out of a bitch called bubbles over 5yr ago now
  24. birddog

  25. birddog
    i think ps83 hit it on the head.....all his dogs retrieve and they all have mint recall.......no recall = no retrieve........the tug / play, will / can reinforce loads but need that recall
