  1. very nice has the dog got beardie in it or is it a bit of deerhound.
  2. will be sore for a bit i wouldnt worry too much its part and parcel also if you are worried about them ripping all the time a decent vet will remove them for -120 quid a fairly simple op that just requires a few stitches when finished.
  3. if you are going for a whippet and i wouldnt blame you my mate has one off nimrodel/laguna lines cracking little dog 20 inches he is and has plenty of stamina and great with ferrets very intelligent the whippet and easy to break to livestock aswell.
  4. started when i was about twelve going to my cousins who was 20 yrs older than me he used to keep,lurchers/terriers ferrets,all sorts of hawks aswell as a managerie of animals including foxes,badgers,boa constrictors god i could go on and on but he decided to take the pain in the arse twelve yr old out with him what a great learning curve this was in all kinds of weather carrying a ferret box with six ferrets in for 8-9 hrs i must of complained but not much because he wouldnt take you out the nxt wk with him,then i progressed myself to a small lurcher plus a kestrel and a scandanavian airgun th
  5. plenty of jrts like that it aint that uncommon now i dont think it will hinder the dog to much, if the dog works and your happy with it it dont matter how ugly/small/bow legged it is.
  6. yep same as above let the young dog play and basically be a pup at that age it can go out on the lead and watch the others at work then it will get the idea,you can then start the dog off lightly 10 -12 mth on the odd bunny not over doing it there is other things that you can do in the mean time ie stock breaking call commands retrieving so its not all doom and gloom get the dog ready for its introduction. good luck mate.
  7. because they can do, just keep an eye on dogs all time at these fairs.
  8. very sad mate when you have to do things like this but you are doing what is best for the dog all credit to you he should be a very handy addition to someones team.

    quote. bloody hell when i read the titlle i thought your dog had broken its leg .....you will get over it mate and at least its not your dog well said mate three mths you will be as right as rain as long as it isnt a nasty one so you will only miss a few mths of the season get someone to give the dog its excersise to keep its fitness up and then when you are well enough the dog will help you get fit again my lads just recovered from a broken leg(thought he was stevie g) the leg is still a bit stiff but hes getting out more now just make sure you rest it properly and heres to a speedy recovery

  15. very nice mate saluki with greyhound but what else a tad of bull.
  16. welcome, i bet you cant wait to get her out.
  17. anything damascus has a keen edge and reliability but not cheap on price you wont go far wrong with this mate.
  18. keep the dog as fit as you can plenty of excercise its a running dog like an athlete so fitter it is less chance of injuries ie strains and pulls and make sure you have it on a good diet,just remember its a lurcher and with any running dogs who regularily hit 30-35 miles an hour they can get hurt.anyway go to the bottom of the page were it says manage current attatchments underneath there is a box and next to it is choose so click on that and then pick a picture off your computer double click till the box has the pics in it ie dads pics then hit upload and away you go then it will say uploadi

  21. i do a fair bit of vermin shooting and find the head shots work very well however with rats they will sometimesrun as soon as you hit them so keep your eye on where they run to and make sure they are dead be safe at all times consider the gun to always be loaded and you wont go far wrong also when not shooting get into the practise of always pointing at the floor it works for me and i have been shooting for over 25 yrs that way if you get clumsy the worst you can do is shoot yourself in the foot better than your mate or the dog,if you are going to be doing a lot of shooting on other peoples l
