This Is What We're Against.
heart of wales replied to Fletcher's topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
To be fair we are judging the trapper without knowing the full facts How often has he checked the trap How long really had the cat gone missing for really The trouble with these traps and a lot of other pest control products including posions and tack glue boards is they can be purchased by someone who has no pest control training or knowledge of the countryside,bet the trap did not even come with instuctions let alone the law relating to it -
See what I mean she thinks the terrier is fair game

She caught a blackbird coming out of a hedge this morning,brought it to me I released it unharmed didnt think the b*****d ate all my strawberries last year ,the only problem I got with her she is coursing and catching my red patterdale pup who is about six months now not hurting her just coursing her and stopping her letting her go and then catching her again.thats my grandson in the picture trying to out run her.

A good mate of mine who should be nameless had a beddlington whippet greyhound pup off me which he kenneled out the back and it had the run of his big back yard,He went out and bought a new tv for the rugby world cup,he arrives home from work to find his new tv had been delivered like a kid with a new toy goes to switch it on,presses the switch on the tv power on tries to knock it off standby nothing anyway cant get it to work so calls the company up engineer comes out discovers the reason the tv would not work was because there was no batteries in the remote,my mate red faced appologises.

A good dog or a great one, how do you judge it?
heart of wales replied to logman's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
A good dog or a great one in my humble opinion is one that when in the field exels as such that anyone who is with you is amazed at his guts stamina and strike rate will catch alive and retrieve what you want to eat,with the exeption of deer,will kill what you dont.Will mark without error,Would guard you and loved ones to the death,Will give you many a great memory of him when he is gone,a practically impossible dog to replace,thinking of you scoob -
was asked by a local authority once to clear a huge rabbit problem of dunes and a big caravan park,doing the job I had three ferrets beddlington whippet cocker spaniel and a beddlington had caught over forty before lunch going passed a bit of cover when suddenly the beddlington which was probably the best killing dog I and many others have seen dived into the cover grabbed hold of what I thought was a stick was shaking this stick like a rag dropped it on the floor by me it was an adder dead as a doorpost,talking to an old boy when I sat down having a coffee he said his dog had been bitten by o

When I have the chance I will compete and Judge shows,the majority of times I go to shows it is to meet old mates and have a laugh winning a rossete is a bonus. I also have part in organising a show the Judges I pick would never down grade a marked terrier or scarred lurcher ?? why because they work dogs themselves. I personally believe the only thing that will ruin working dogs are the people who breed or work them,people who instead of seeing the dog working before buying go for the quick fix and buy from a show,or instead of breeding worker to worker,breed show champ to show champ

Good luck all the best We will keep a welcome in the hillsides for you

Well one jigsaw early learning is a lot easier,and if it goes tits up the dog wont to much damage,communication with the farmer is essential as he can see how responsible you are and again if anything went wrong as his advice he has probably broken loads.I have started taking mine to our lambing shed every night she is not that bothered,when a dog sees a sheep or lamb for the first time sometimes it frightens the shits out of both of them and the sheep if out in a field will turn and run dog will then naturally chase.Thats when your problems start.
