    Hello, Just moved to Worceester, so if anyone in Worcestershire or surrounding counties could do with an extra pair of hands and rifle, please let me know. Rabbits are my quarry. I can travel to surrounding counties, or South Wales, as I visit family there every few weeks. I also have a 7 and 1/2m plummer cross jrt who I've started after rabbits too. So if anyone wants a rabbitting/ferretting partner either, let me know.

    Check out the topic about bull terriers and the difference between modern ones and those of 50y ago. It happens with all dogs at one time or another, all todays breeds look different to days gone by. An old neighbour of mine (died last year aged 94, he fought in Burma against the Japs - some cracking tales but that's another story...) told me about his Yorkies from the 20's and 30's: Absolute dynamos after rats and rabbits with short fur apparently! You can't really imagine it now, what with half of modern Yorkies having plaited fur and living in a posh birds' handbags. I hope that in

    Don't know mcuh about chocolate Patterdales, I thought it was just an fancy name to advertise Red Fells. Anyway, I'd rather have a CHOCOLATE HOB-NOB and a mug of tea after a day out with the dog, rather than listen to someone buying pups and breeding the balls off them. Ah, tea's ready...

    Don't worry about any measures or weights. Fill a jar/bottle 1/3 full of sloes (that've been frozen overnight then defrosted). Add sugar on top (half as much as the amount of sloes). Add a teaspoon of spices of your choice. Top up the jar/bottle with gin. Turn over every day for 2m. Drink and be merry. Drink it neat or with lemonade. Recipe works for almost any fruit, the more bitter the better. Damsons, haws or rosehips are pretty good.

    You can tell a badger sett by these things: Badgers dig latrines dug within a few hundreds yards of the sett, usually at the edges of fields, copses etc. the latrines are always filled with shit and it us often runny. Foxes usually leave solid turds in blatant places so as to be seen; There is often black and white fur and old bedding kicked up out of the main entrances with badgers; There are usually many more entrances than you'd see with a fox; badgers are always exending their setts; Badger prints are round and stubby with noticeable clawmarks that look out of place in the print,

    Cheers, I try to take him out 2-3 times a week (not including daily walks) and he is coming along. He very nearly caught a fully grown rabbit that he'd flushed earlier today, until it turned on a sixpence and lost him. I guess practice makes perfect though eh? Thanks

    Hello Sam, I am new to the forum too. I am trying to train my 6m old plummer dog and have started doing a bit of hedgework with him the last month. He is leggy as many plummers are (they are pack dogs really after all) but is keen to go to ground and does so readily. I doubt how useful he'd be though as shorter legs are far better underground. He is much better flushing from the hedge and is like a whippet going after rabbits... I think everyone has hit the nail on the head really in advising paterdales or lakelands for earthwork and plummers for working hedges or above ground. I had
