Really sorry for your loss mate, but you sound like a top dog owner and I think another pup would be lucky to be owned by you, plus I'm sure it will help you and your family too. All the Very Best.

Wel done to the pup mate, sounds like a good start from him
-
Cheers mate, I enjoy being out with them mate they've got good and bad points, but they keep me happy and we normally come home with something in the bag

Just finished some new kennels for a mate who own racing greyhounds they too feed redmils with raw, they take rabbits off me + all the normals, bones, chicken ect Mine are on mixed raw, minced chicken carcuss, chicken wings, bones, cheap minced beef + oily fish and rice, brown bread pasta andleft overs roast and bolognese being favs I agree with changing it around so they don't get bored.

They're still young mate but already have diferent characters completely, the 3/4 is very laid back and easy to work with she's quick off the mark and she runs rabbits well, she was easy to break to ferrets, I keep her indoors and she's a really nice dog in the house too as is the first X. Downside are she can be a bit nervy around other dogs at first, although she settles well once working. The first X is very driven and has a great nose on her, she's still young so the lamping is fairly new to her at first she hunted up, but she is getting better all the time and retrieved well last time ou

On my own or one other, normally my brother or a good mate. Recently a lad who got me a load of new land has walked around with us ( he shoots and doesn't run dogs) he loved it and is now ringing me to ask when he can next walk out, I can see a lurcher in his kennels beside his springers soon enough.

Hi Mate I've got 3/4 whip 1/4 bed and she's turning into a good little rabbiting dog, she works well with ferrets, the terrier bushing and is coming on well lamping. I would say it's a good little x, most crosses should do well with rabbits though. The dog on the left is my brothers first x beddy whip heavier dog and not quite as quick, she's still young but has loads of drive and has started on the lamp well.

There's still more sat in the cover than down the holes, it was roasting this morning when I was out T-shirt weather in mid Nov At least you had a few mate

Got to agree it's a great pic of your lad down the hole, quality.

LOL, it was lovely mate, had the parents round for tea and they were happy too.

Nice one mate,well done on the perseverance I'm glad it paid off for you. All the best for the season Kev

Managed a quick look out this morning as the kids stayed out last night and the missus has shot off to Manchester for the weekend, I took the dogs and a couple of ferrets, purse nets ect and had a walk around the woods above a farm local to me. Within 50 yrds of parking the terrier marked well around an old tree, netted up about 10 holes and put this years jill in, 5 mins the rumble began and a good bolt resulted in a well neted rabbit with the ferret right behind, I'm pleased with her so far, I still put an experianced hob through just to check and she had bolted the only occupant. Picked up

Nothing but respect absolute, bravery, pride they were and are true men. We've got a lot to be thankful for from heroics in the past and present some really close friends still make me tingle with pride for what they're prepared to do.

I've got a Yamaha apx-5a semi acoustic, really nice guitar. It's small bodied and has decent action ( some acoustics can leave your wrist killing after 10 mins). It was a bit more than you want to spend new but I reckon you'd fnd one second hand around that price. The one thing I'd say is go and play a few in your local music shop see what type you like and you can make a choice from there ( you don't have to buy but you'll know what you like and maybe find a £400 guitar for £200 second hand) Good luck with your choice mate

Lovely looking pups Dougall, I like the sound of the mix.
-
Nice one sean, I've been waiting for a report from you but that was better. Great pics, some lovely looking dogs. Keep saying it but we'll have to sort that day out

A good ferreting dog is a god send saves you time and does a lot of work for you. As Robert Michem said it's not just about catching bolters it's also what they are trying to tell you, sometimes the lads with the dog don't see the signals, some dogs mark subtle some dig at the hole and make it obvious. I think any dog for ferreting should mark, and be respectful of nets and ferrets, the bonus' is dogs that really let you know whats going on underground once the ferrets are in. I love watching the dogs mooch and ferret thats when you see a dog working properly in my opinion, I love lamping but

I can gaurantee you mate I was in no way having a pop at you at all, I enjoyed your clip, and you obviously enjoyed your day. Some of the " advice" which could be useful would be trying to keep the dogs back from the hole a bit ( my terrier is a nightmare for it, but my little lurcher aint so bad) you sometimes stop a bolt when they're too close and end up having to dig ( I don't love digging). I also find my dog runs better up hill than down. |As said mate no dig at all from me I like to see lads out there doing it and not many put photos up let alone vids so well done.
-
Keep the vids coming lads, I think most of the lads are offering you advice which from some of the experianced lads on here could be useful. Keep at em and keep enjoying your dogs, you got to make a few mistakes to learn anything and as long as your enjoying yourselves thats all that matters really.

Top day mate well done.............. and you beat my day with a quad and trailer hands down lol.
-
Well done to both the lads mate, good results alround
-
Jesus mate that is tough, What do use to dig a JCB
-
Nice one mate
-
Similar to my efforts on saturday mate. just me the dogs and a couple of ferrets we only had 1 but had a few good runs, It was never gonna be a big bag as most of this land is big hedges so they're impossable to do on your own, this was purely for fun and being out with the dogs/ferrets and not sat on my ass doing nothing.
-
Good luck with her mate. At least the news is positive so far
