The perfect lurcher (pot filler) is the one you would never sell

Got a mk3 no probs (3 seasons) like the search feature. I don`t like the collar I wrap it in insulation tape before use the mk3m looks a better collar. I would buy new everytime leave the old ones alone they where great but just for the collector now. They are alot of money to buy but a must have if not just to find a ferret but make the day keep moving along. Simon One question how much would a mint condition new in the box mk1 be

Hi, Firstly hello all I am thinking about a fhh I have been working dogs/ferrets since a youngster and also a builder so accommodation is not a problem. I have read posts on both here and IFF, read a couple of books and watched dvds so I am quiet familiar with the keeping training and entering of a hawk all thats needed is hands on. My main questions would be time. I could commit the time required to man and enter but regarding time spent once the bird is working I would be looking to fly it on a weekend and the occasional midweek day through the season is this satisfactory.

Hi, Father christmass got my wife a treadmill so I have been trying it out with our lurcher. The dog does 6mph for 30 min everyday. It has only been a couple of weeks and I must admit it is a useful tool in maintaing the condition of a dog. I agree its not a substitute for walking/working or my prefered method which is a mountain bike, but during the winter months when its dark when I finish work or if the weather is appalling I can keep the dog in condition. The negative point would be the dog can only walk/trot on it I have tried to increase the speed but the dog finds it difficult to b

Thanks for the info, I have read the "ACT" a couple of times but failed to make sense of it in relation to mink. I think I had best leave the mink alone to do their damage and hunt "rats" on the rivers and streams in the summer when it comes. I have just read the pinned topic at the top of the forum and this explains it in a terms which I understand thanks role on the summer

Hi, I have a pair of terrier pups primrialy for ferreting and was thinking about doing a bit of minking in the summer. I have read the hunting act but am a bit unsure about the legallity of hunting mink with dogs. I have permission to work my dogs on suitable land. Can anybody give me advise on the law relating to this. I used to hunt mink along time ago with a small boddery pack and found it was a good way to keep the dogs keen during the summer lay off. thanks Simon

problem solved for me

Never breed dogs for money never will. I only breed for my own needs I cull if needed or give to friends and family. Can think of easier ways of making a bit pocket money. Simon

Someones been reading the ed/rd No I saw a bloke with some on the telly at cla game fair but is there and article in the edrd worth reading just looking for advise on a different breed of terrier than the usual stuff as good as they all are. I fancy something a bit different I got all my kids keen got my boy a lurcher last year and my girls want a terrier each. Any info would on unusal/rare breeds would be helpful in making my decision I will be looking for bitch puppies time scale I am unsure of but some time in the next year Thanks Simon

Think I spelt it wright I am thinking about getting a pair of terriers for a bit of bushing work for vermin and ferreting they will be working along side a lurcher and working streams in the summer for rats ect and of course ground work if the keeper requires it. I fancy something different. Any info would be helpful in making my decision I will be looking for bitch puppies time scale I am unsure of but some time in the next year Thanks Simon

I am only guessing but in your situation if its only a bit of pocket money £1.00per carcass would seem fair to me. If you were thinking about doing it professionally I would be looking at £100-150 per day that would be in the Hereford area but the customer will expect to see you at the end of the day loading up a trailer with dead rabbits. I would keep it casual and on a part time basis for a while Best of luck with your venture Simon

Teal oil/walnut oil I used to be a cabinet maker/french polisher Oil will be perfect apply it as follows ( to bare wood) once a day for a week once a week for a month once a month for a year and every year after that it will look and feel great and be totally weather resistant. Simon

Just showed my son your pics The exitement is building. A nice gun mate post some pics of the gun in action and a review/feedback my son would love it. Simon
