  1. Good mooch today. Flushed rabbits and long ears and got two rats, one in the video and another marked and caught as he bolted from a stick pile. Rat in the video was marked and flushed from a stick pile and hunted to his burrow.
  2. Was out for a walk on the quite back lanes. Dogs marked on a drain ditch, I'd no spade with me so they'd a long hard scratch to account for two rats. https://youtu.be/FTAriJ7D-Hs https://youtu.be/MY92wOFKDKE https://youtu.be/rQyoikHU_ik https://youtube.com/shorts/yQ91cwKqnPA?feature=share
  3. collage from Google pics my lad through the yrs. Bad injury at 3 yrs old ment I never got the prime yrs out of him but he's a honest dog, very well mannered, still puts an odd rabbit in the bag on the lamp, will exercise long ears, good at the rats marking and catching bolters from holes. About 7 yrs now.
  4. Organic lamb chops gifted by a friend and local organic farmer who I do vermin control for and who's farm my son does work experience on every week. Delicious.
  5. Just keep him as lean and fit as possible, then he'll be at his fastest.
  6. It would depend on wording of the bill. But going by the letter you could argue.
  7. I would say you could argue that a lurcher that retrieves live to hand on the lamp in working within the law
  8. Shot a hare yrs ago, it cried like a baby, I swore id never lift a gun to a hare again and never have, much rather see a chase.
  9. Never heard of that one... potatoe and onion??
  10. When you're hungover to bits and need food but the finances only either a curer or a take away but not both...... Home made ham, tomato and cheese omelette to the rescue washed down with the hair of the dog ?
  11. Mine caught a hare this yr, just as it jumped out of its seat, unusual cos mine are not usually hare catchers, but when I checked her out her front leg was skinned to the bone, probably a car done the damage.
  12. Depends on lots of things but I would say the best prime when a dogs at his absolute best yrs of a working dog are between 4 and 7 yrs age, definitely by 8yrs the miles will start to show but no reason a dog can't be useful right up into old age.
  13. What a shite game. Watching it. But it's complete bollix. Absolute muck to watch. Loads of time to eat, only reason anyone watch it.
  14. Irelands gonna suffer same problems if hunters don't wise up. Put phones away. Work according to the WTF code around digs and just be smart and discreet. Evole or become extinct.
  15. Not exactly cooking but good drinking snacking! Simple but hard beat.
  16. No need to argue over the rights and wrongs of went on in the video or comparing it to anything past or present. Point is the video has been a God send to the antis and those that filmed and shared it have done immesurable damage and they'll reap what they've sowed. Don't think going full anti on em saying they should be locked up or calling em scum etc....helps.
  17. There seems to be a stronger tradition of ferreting in England and Wales that may help. Plenty of good ferreting channels on YouTube that show good use of dogs ferreting.
  18. He was built like a bull dawg, honestly. Wish I'd more pics of him.
  19. This springer would mark fox earths, dig and kill rats, would do a job as a dog at end of a dig, flush fur and feather, very hard and tough shaker of a fox. He's a very old style type, not polluted with field trial breeding. He died bout a few yrs ago. He was used as a gundog and ran with hounds, terriers and lurchers.
  20. But it's the terrier man that'll hang for it.
  21. Had to be seen to do something drastic after that f***ing video. The fall out not over yet.
