sounds like she's done well in her first season -
It's good to have permission as long as the land owner don't expect a clearance job. Went on some with a mate ( his permission) a couple of weeks ago with the dogs and the farmer came out for a walk to see the dogs run he was impressed with my mates dog ( my pup was just watching) but wanted a corn field sorted out properly.. My mate went back with the ferrets on the weekend and air rifle in the week to sort it. It's a bit of effort to keep them happy sometimes but I suppose you can have a night out without worrying about a pull sometimes

Just got in, pup had a couple of runs but where we went is usually pickled with rabs but were quite sparse tonight We managed 4 with the other dog and the pup was on best behaviour real good re-call straight back every time It's another night of experiance for her and she's getting closer everytime...

Cheers lads

I'm starting back after a few years out of it and do it because i love being out with my dogs, I always did but couldn't find the time for a while. My love for the game was started as a kid catching rabbits, I still love catching rabbits, my little lad will learn how to catch rabbits. Over the years caught more than rabbits, but to get back into it I've got a rabbiting dog, I hope in years to come I don't lose sight of why I got into hunting in the first place

Mick c Sorry mate must have been posting at same time said similar things

Why not try both mate, you'll probably want to have 2 with you anyway. Over time you may find one will work better than the other and you'll get a feel for the way they work. Usually the hobs will kill more readily meaning a bit more digging, but can be really useful for moving stubborn rabbits, usually jills mean more bolting rabbits and I think especially when working long hedges with long nets move a bit quicker through the warrens. Nothing is certain though, so i would say use them both and see how it goes

I wish the season would go on for a bit longer this year Whin, just so the pup could keep at it for another few months, but with us already catching pregnant does I think we've only got acouple of weeks left with the ferrets. I'll keep her at it with the terrier daytime mooching and a bit of lamping then fish the summer till next season My brothers got a 4mnth pup who will be out with us now so next season should be a good one. Good luck with your pup mate, we used to use a collie/ grey when I was a lad she was a real good dog ferreting or nigh time, but like you've said you gotta get th

Yeah I'm pleased with her Whin, she should make a good little rabbiting dog, she's coming on well round the ferrets a bit slower to cotton on to the lamp, but I'm not worried she's still young

Another great day there mate. Brilliant on taking the youngster out, it's thanks to people like yourself that a lot of lads get into this game , once your bitten by it it never goes away And fair play to Adam it maybe a while before you get another day like that ( unless your out with steve again next week ) All The Best Kev
