    Our days our numbered boys, no doubt about it. With w***ers like this and people driving the fields and upsetting the farmers - our game is f****d! Enjoy it while you can and make some memories to share with the next generation. Stories is all we will have before too long!

    Morning All, I was out bushing with a few of my dogs yesterday and my bigger lurcher went straight through a barbed wire fence in pursuit of his quarry. Needless to say, although he carried on after it, he came back with two decent tears in his chest and a load of minor cuts to his legs and stomach and even one on his tongue!! After a few staples and some penicillin - he's on the mend but I'm now faced with him being laid up for at least a few weeks and I cant help but think, could this have been prevented?? I have seen the neoprene vests that you can buy for gun dogs and i have

    I use Dr Johns Gold for all my gun dogs, lurchers etc as part of a part raw part biscuit diet. Its good food at a reasonable price.

    After what has felt like ages, my bitch is finally healed up enough to get out. I just hope she has learnt her lesson and won't pick another fight with the Rotty.

    I found it useful for the dog to learn that YOU are where the fun comes from - whether it be a ball, a dummy or a toy, the dog will stick with you and come back to you if he thinks you are going to do something fun. This will then progress to associating you with whatever game you are hunting. If he only associates you with walking to heal / going back on the lead then hes got no good reason to come back to you while hes off having his own fun. As others have told you, the most important thing is to create a bond between the two of you - you are a hunting team at the end of the day. Y

    The rats have come onto my farm in big numbers. We have been smoking them out for the dogs and shooting them at night - all good fun but not getting on top of the problem. I am keen to try a trap. Heard about using an oil drum buried in the ground with the lid partially off. Rats can jump down but not back out. Anyone tried this method or got any other suggestions?? Thanks

    I've got one of the old style Mk3 ferret collars - the grey rectangular ones that take smaller batteries than the more modern black round collars. Does anyone know what size the smaller batteries are?? Many thanks Jack

    I use my lurcher for Flyball and she does not yap at all. The other dogs in her team are very vocal and at first i was concerned that she would become vocal too. She is completely silent throughout the race and it has not affected her lamping etc at all.
