    Just to add, my lurcher lives outdoors in his kennel still and she has no problem with him.
  2. symnsm
    I had 2 dogs but now only the one (sadly I lost my jack russell just before xmas) however she never once complained about the dogs in the last 5 years of me living here.

    I think the main problem is that my garden is only small approx 20ft x 12 ft and whenever shes out in her back garden she can see it playing. But to cover my ass I think its best done if i dont want prying eyes snooping around my garden. I think the old bags moaning just because she doesn't like ferrets if im honest but there you go.

    He is the only ferret i've got and to be honest the only reason im possibly looking to getting him done is that my neighbor complained about the smell last year. I personally couldnt give a flying hoot, but the Mrs is moaning.

    What about the hobs Andy?

    As the titles says, im wondering if castrating the male will slow his hunting instinct down ?

    Does anyone know anywhere in North Bristol where I can take my lurcher to run rabbits ? My current permission is depleted of rabbits due to myxomatosis killing them all off.
  8. symnsm
    Yes I agree Tomo just found it strange that ive never seen rabbits so riddled. Like Qbgrey said lets hope a cold spell might kill them off.

    if thats whats needed then so be it. The ones hes been catching have left him with fleas. I use advantage flea treatment now it seems very good, also now I keep a flea collar on the dogs at all times. Seems to be the only way i can keep the fleas in check !

    Guys the rabbits ive been catching this year are full of fleas. Is this because of myxi ? I say that because earlier this year the dog was catching and bringing em back to me, and all the ones that had myxi had fleas. Anyway the myxi seemed to die off along with the rabbits that had it, and now the rabbits the dogs catching are full of fleas as well, but seem myxi free. Any ideas ?

    Well im just going to have to change to a different permission and hope that's not been affected......Yet
  12. symnsm
    Yep thats the same for me, first year of rabbit numbers being up in over 4 years and then the dreaded returns.

    Where are you from JCM ?

    My pup will be nine months on sept 1st. This week hes caught 5 rabbits, but the last 3 have had myxomatosis. The last one he caught was in a right state.(pic below) I know its not going to do the pup any harm, (its all experience.) But this is the first time myxomatosis seen it badly around the north Bristol area for a while. How does this compare with everyone else? Are you experiencing much myxomatosis.

    If you were that good with your dogs why he Feek have you got so many posts on here and are not out with your at the moment big bold beautiful

    the pups dam was greyhound x bedlington the sire was greyhound x deerhound. If the dog doesnt get a good walk in the morning ie a hundred yards it starts to go hypo. There is no way this dog can be walked 100 yards a day, it would mentally drive the thing crazy. By 3 in the afternoon the dogs begging to go out for more. So how the hell "big bold beautiful" thinks he knows what hes on about blows my mind.
  20. symnsm
    big bold beautiful, the idea of a forum is to help other people less knowledgeable than isnt it? If I want to ask a question to the more experienced members of the forum, I expect advise back, not being slatted. ie "Omfg.... It's 18 weeks old... " Surely its better for someone with less knowledge to ask the more experienced members of the site a question than to f**k a dog up ?

    DeerhoundLurcherMan Do you think more lead walking is best then ?
  22. symnsm
    both great posts thank you, so you feel walks without the jack, would be best? He does tend to course the jack as well. I do want him to get used to the jack as she will be coming out with me, but I know the jack will put him in his place when the time comes
  23. symnsm
    Ok just a few things I need some pointers on. My Lurcher is currently 18 weeks old. I walk the lurcher with my other jack russell twice a day for a good hour in the morning and a good hour in the evening. The lurcher has come along really well. He's good with livestock, recalls very well. Walks to heel, good on/off the lead and all the stuff he should be doing. He just seems to a little bit relaxed when it comes to quarry. I wont purposely put him on quarry, but if the odd pheasant or rabbit jumps out at him, he does have the right idea to chase them. However he seems very hit or mi

    Thanks lads. I only asked for your thoughts. Didn't mean to upset the ONE person amongst you that cant reply to a light hearted topic without feeling like hes had his nuts cut off.
  25. symnsm
