NEWKID replied to old real tree's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
What a nightmare mate, hope Millie makes a speedy recovery -
Don't know much about ridgebacks but they must really shift to out run a daytime roe

Very well said, catching has never been the be all and end all for me, I've always loved the countryside and what it holds, I love the rivers and sea too and your right it does make you feel instantly relaxed and happier once your out and walking some nice land, catching is then a bonus

Go out alone, with a mate with dogs and another ferreting or ratting, will take friends who want to see what it's about who are genuinely interested (on permission), as a kid was the same. I love to be out just on my own with the dog or a couple of ferrets, don't see any problem either way. I know what you mean about the competition thing though seems there aren't many bad dogs around , wish mine was better in some areas, retrieve mainly, would never pretend she's anything better than she is, she put's a few rabbits in the bag most times we go out and thats ok for me, your always gonna get b

My hands are red raw from yesterday mate, the bit we ferreted yesterday we were waiting till the frost had killed it off a bit as it's a bit of a jungle, the frost hasn't came yet so we just got on with it, at this rate we may get a frost in april

In Exeter mate, heard there was a sprinkling on the moors but I've not even woken to ice on the car yet...... Ideation: I didn't ferret much after end of feb last year as we started to find young in them, never been a summer hunter, just don't expect to find 3 with young in them at the end of December.

Mines nervy too mate sounds very similar, she's a lovely dog around people and kids but really nervous of other dogs. Good luck mate I'm hoping mine will come through as she gets older with more careful socialising.

I can't remeber ever the winter being this warm, we're yet to have a frost down here in Devon, and yesterday we had 3 rabbits carrying young. Do you think the seasons matter anymore as by the looks of it we've now got year round breeding............

Cheers mate, I agree, this farm has alot of sheep on it, you'd look a right dick if the farmer turns up and your dogs chasing his flock around the field

good write up mate and a new friendship formed......... I have similar trouble with my little bitch she run up to dogs ( never people) and bark then run off straight away, it does my head in, she's fine working with other dogs, but I keep her on the lead in public places.

Decided yesterday we would ferret a large groundbury at the top of a sheep field which is covered in thick brambles, we had put it off waiting for the first frost but as we still haven't had one down here we decided to brave the prickles. The plan was to long net between the 2 large buries which around 30 yrds apart and cover what we could with purse nets. 2 terriers would push the rabbits out of the thick stuff and we had 3 lurchers around the edge to mop up (hopefully). We started off by walking a long roadsde hedge up to the top of the hill where the 2 large buries are. The terriers marked

Decided on ferreting a large farm around 2 miles from me yesteay morning, we wanted to bolt some for the dogs to run an between the 2 of us we had 2 terriers and 3 lurchers a little overgunned maybe but it was for fun. The farm is quite hilly in parts and on top of one of these hills are 2 large ground buries which are covered in brambles. The plan was to put a long net between the 2 buries to stop runners that way and net a few of the obvious bolt holes, the terriers wold work the cover to push the bolters out to nets or lurchers. 7 ferrets went in and rabbits steadily bolted, the 2 terries w

I've got permission on a few farms near me to run the dogs through a friend who is a shooter through and through, he's came out recently ferreting and lamping with me and has really enjoyed this aspect of fieldsports he has invited me to go shooting with him which I will, 2 other lads, friends of his, who only shoot have came for a walk at night with the dogs and really enjoyed it, 1 of the lads is a farm manager and hs allowed me onto his land too. I'm looking forward to doing a bit of shooting with these lads ( I've only done a litle in the past) as they're good lads who enjoy hunting. We're

yeh i liked haggler,, i still dont think he lost to lennard, mind he gave lennard evrything he wanted. and for max,, i think haggler would have beat calzagie had they met in there prime at the same weight...........then again i am biased, as i have met haggler , a real nice fella Called my first dog Haggler, a little whippet x I was about 7 or 8 and thought Marvelous Marvin was the man

Well done mate, nice way to spend christmas night

All the best with the pups mate, you'll have your hands full with 2 to bring on

Brothers got a first x only 14 mnths but coming on well, definately not as quick as my 3/4 whip bed, but catches on the lamp, really good nose and will hit any cover. Works more like a terrier in the day, in that she'll follow my jack into any cover where as the 3/4 tends to run the out side waiting for a bolt, On the lamp her recall has been pretty good, and retrieve has been good, she's a heavier dog than the 3/4 and not as nimble but is probably a bit more driven, she wont stop thats for sure. She was bred bedlington sire whippet dam, both working dogs First x on the left 3/4 on the r

Well done on the job mate, great way to start the new year, all the best, Kev

Thats a shame mate I'm sure you've got some good looking dogs, if my memory serves me well

Whin, I think the post was CAN a beddy grey catch hares, and I think a couple of lads with experiance with beddy greys have said yes they can, on the right ground, the first post was not could a beddy grey catch a hare on the fens or your big land..... but can beddy greys catch a hare, I would've liked to have heard more about these dogs and the land they ran, how they hunted ect, instead of nit picking where you think they can't catch...... I would of liked to have heard where these dog could and did catrch, but unfortunately some of the lads with a lot of experiance can't be bothered to post
