  4. Good topic , as i am still novice on running dogs some of the threads posted, i read i think god my dogs must be crap lol , we dont have golf courses , but we do have very short pony paddocks , and very fast rabbits , both dogs have had the odd rabbit from these fields but also a lot of misses , i much prefer the cattle fields , but i do walk the local ones in the day light if possible and any rabbit holes out in the field , i stick branches in them , i no you cant avoid all dangers but i do try and run them as safe as i can .
  5. Thats one very tidy deep freeze , not going to show hubbie that pic ! as mine is full of rabbits with there coats on , legs every where , bags ripped , stuck together hubbie moans every time he tries to find some think in there .
  6. sounds a bit like are morning ! after purchasing my first two ferrets not really a clue on these little chaps other than watch the teeth , we went out yesterday for the first time with my friend Kay who has worked ferrets before . and we allowed hubbie to come and play with his gun, we had great fun bolting the rabbits , my little lurcher missed both , as did hubbie with the gun , but all in all it was a great afternoon and me and Kay where crying with laughter when the ferret took a dislike to hubbie , not quite sure what the dancing on the back legs is all about , i guessed he was either e

  9. I hate going around asking , going to make a real effort and ask the local farms today, will make life a lot easer than sneaking around
  10. That made me smile this morning , your evening sounded very similar to mine, i ran my two last night from my friends truck , i was not sure how it would work with both dogs , as they are young and very competitive with each other, so i popped my crate in the back , and covered it with a blanket to avoid any noise ! ran the small bitch first and really pleased she is now using her brain and not missing many , The larger bitch is very keen and has a great turn of speed , but still a lot to learn , it now makes me realise how much my other bitch has come on since last year. One of the rabbits kil
  11. I use the voice first , then the stare , and if they are really pushing it a shake around the chops.
  12. I often wondered what do people mean by a hard night/day, like how many runs/courses would you call hard day/night My normal night is walking from the house for about 2/ 3 hours with about 5 slips if we are lucky , but i have got my friend who shoots interested in running the dogs so we are lucky enough to do his land with the landrover weekends , She had 8 rabbits last night and ran beside the landrover on some of the fields , she is quite a tough head strong little dog and did some fair long runs, i could tell she was tiring so we popped her in the land rover and finished th
  13. lol hubbie does not get the same treatment also good point about the feet and the salty water thanks.
  14. just checking i am doing right when i come home from a nights lamping , and the little bitch has worked quite hard. obviously first she is checked for any injury's and then watered , she lives in the house so she is nice and warm , but i was wandering if i am giving the right type of food to replenish what she has just burnt off . tonight she had cooked beef , with grated cheese on top , she did drink a fair amount of water, but do i need to give any thing special to replace what she has just burnt off.
  15. spoke to a lady who shows boxers , she said she always culls her pups if she has to many . At least she was not in for the money .
  16. thats bad new , but at least you have the land when they make a come back
  17. Not what you are looking for ! but a friend lent me these foxing with robert bucknell, and extreme deer hunting 6 , they made great viewing , would make nice xmas pressie
  18. great pic dont believe in leaving oldies home if they are still enjoying life , good on you
  19. my 7mth pup is the same goes mad at any excuse ! jumps on the other dogs , people , does your head in , i leave a lead on her in the house to give her a jerk , and only when she sits does she get a fuss , this is the most excitable pup ive ever had , not only is it really annoying , i worry she will either hurt her self with the flying leaps , or get bitten by the other dogs .
  20. i use it mainly on my sheep , but have used it on the dogs , but dont over do it
  21. My bitch broke her toe last year , and we where told about a new practise in Bodmin , that deals with the rescue grey hounds and there injuries, will try and look out the number for you , fortunately my bitch mended and did not need surgery , so can not guarantee them 100 % , but may be worth ringing for a chat.
