Just about to eat my tea! Will pm you it in a bit matey!

You sell them to a snake man? Catfood company. . . . . . get £1.50 rabbit, skins on, guts in, frozen. . . . . . whatever state they are in, as long as not shot. Seems a good deal to me, and they will take as many as I can get, usually a minimum of 100, but sometimes will take the odd 50 if passing. Will also pick up from anywhere in the country with a big freezer lorry. Very handy folk and they are always ringing me for more! Also take hares.

Nice to see a little bit of sense coming into this topic, after some of the plainly daft (or rather over the top statements) made earlier! If my dog retrieves them to me, i'm happy to be honest. Alive, dead, bruised or un bruised. . . . . . I never actually find out if they are bruised, as I never skin them, and I don't really care if the stomach is popped. . . . . . I get paid the same either way!

Well we started discussing hard mouthed dogs and now we are talking about dogs that smash the shit out of a rabbit and leave it out in the field!
-
dont they get a subsidy for that? Wow. . . .
-
Some people have to work in an office. . . . . . . Think you're one up on them matey

Thats very different and illegal . . . . . and sounds like the guys a wanker!

I'm sure i'll be ok. Was stood weighing the lambs the other day, and although I know its quite 'populated' I didn't see a soul, hidden away in the middle of the estate as I was, just me, two collies, 1500 lambs, and a few hares and roe that were knocking about the fields below me. . . . . . when I get down there (if I get it) i'll introduce myself properly to the keeper and the local huntsman and go from there . . . . . . .

Whatever has happened one this is for sure. . . . . it's going to get real messy. Russia are not know for their tolerance or for playing by the 'rules of war'. . . . . when they get serious out there. . . . .que some major war crimes etc.
-
Aye. . . . still waiting I'm sure i'll know tomorrow one way or another. If its on the cards, i'm taking it

F*ckin hell this place is classic isn't it. Few obvious things - not every dog that kills a sheep / cat / bites another dog etc is a potential child killer, you've been reading too much of the Daily Mail. - If the woman pays up and apologises etc etc then forcing her to have the dog put down is a step too far imo. However, if following the incident she continues to let her un stock broken dog run free around stock and it keeps on doing it, unfortunately a bullet is probably the only answer. - No offence Cushty, but why should a farmer have his animals killed and his livelihood

While we are on the subject how exactly do you train a dog to be soft mouthed.... I understand the kind I things you can do which will end in a hard mouthed rabbit but have never come across a training regime to specifically 'train' it to be soft mouthed......
-
"Some people just have higher standards for their dogs" "Seems a lot of lurcher men are happy with poorly trained dogs" We're talking about a bruised bunny ffs, I'd love to see some of you lads dogs, they must be incredible and flawless if you consider it bringing back bruised or dead bunnies as a mark of a poorly trained dog owned by a man with low standards!
-
No chance of selling the runners..... Who the fexk would buy them lol. Job comes with two collies. One of which would make a cracking x with a grew lol
-
Get a photo of the woman and dog off the CCTV footage and get the video itself, stick it on Facebook and you will more than likely find her as it's probably someone local. As you said it's nearly always dog walkers and not hunting lads that end up killing sheep. Killing the sheep is bad enough, but doing a runner is beyond comprehension especially as she probably knew the dog wasn't stock broken before running it lose. Funnily enough it's usually a woman owner to!!!
-
There is some absolute drivel spouted on this thread! Makes you wonder how much experience of dogs and hunting in the real world some of the thl dog training experts have really had!
-
Whilst I do agree that a soft mouthed dog is a good thing . . . . . . I wouldn't say that it was the worst trait a dog can have after stock worrying. . . . . . . I'd say yapping, being dog aggressive, lacking drive, having a crap nose etc etc etc are all waaaaaay worse faults in a hunting dog! My bitch has a very very soft mouth on rabbits, to the point that when she went through her 'burying' rabbits phase, they would promptly get up and run into the hedge (as some members on here saw!) but when working with the gun and dealing with wounded (shot) quarry, she has a mouth like a vice

You three just evened the score up a bit. . . . . feeling a bit more cheery now And i'm no further from you than I am now Torchey

BRY - Yes it was, I had to go weigh 1500 lambs. lol. The rest of you are fecking depressing me! Sounds like my dogs are going to be shut up in the kennels without a chance of a run or hunt at anything . . . . It's certainly going to take some adjusting to, up here i'm used to being able to let my dogs hunt and mooch and do their thing. . . . Ah well, can't live in fear can you? Might just drop lucky. . . .

The folk who own the estate I may be going to, already know I come with running dogs and that I work them, and have not said it's a problem thus far. . . . there is however a shoot on the estate (30/40,000 birds) but apparently the keeper is a sound bloke. . . . . We shall see. . . . by end of tomorrow I will know one way or another!
-
I picked one of my runners and the other I had a choice of . . . . one. The second was much easier! With the first, I just looked at the eyes, and picked the pup that looked smart. As said, if the litter is even and well bred, they are all much of a muchness.

Well some very very mixed views. I'll come clean, I find out for definite tomorrow, but I have been offered a job down there, shepherding 2500 ewes and a couple of hundred cattle on one of the big estates. It comes with a house and pays well enough for what they want. If I do go, i'll be heading down with 3 pigs, 4 dogs, 7 ferrets and around 200 sheep of my own. Hopefully if I take it, I can get granted permission on the estate on which I work, or at least part of it. Even if they let me only run the dogs on the grass land which I manage for the sheep, should be 1200 acres to go at

How come people are such wankers? I mean really, the lad asks a pretty simple question, if you think its daft. . . . . just ignore it maybe? Think some folk have too much time on their hands.

If he is a pure whippet? I don't see anything wrong with giving him a couple of easy bunnys around 9/10 months.
