How old is isa now ? Love the retrieving pic over the fence. You sure have some lovely ground

You are right there when some thing falls under pest control it opens it up to loads of restrictions. I basically do it for sport and watching a dog work is the best thing ever and some free range food is a bonus. The country side the conditions you just can't explain it to some one who doesn't know. Pottering around at dusk or dawn with a dog and a net or what ever. All the poor old pigeons shooters have to preach this pest control nonsense and I am one of them too. But the truth is we just enjoy shooting things out the sky and the skill and effort it takes. The surroundings. Lovely weather a

Brilliant Tony a few people have said what you have and thats work with them. If you heavy with them it just don't go well. Mines a bugger for jumping up and pissing about grabbing me feet when she has a mad moment. But having her happy to pile in and jump on me pays dividends with the retrieving. I will tidy her up subtly as she gets older. Its been a good day today. Dinner time stood in a field stuck her in sit lobbed a dummy left lobbed one right. Hand signal for each one and she was perfect. Walking the woods after work at dusk. Dropped a dummy in track while she was ahead. Walked 50 yar

Think your right Ray they are sensitive which has worked well with the sheep just a scowl is enough. Also so far she has not growled at any thing which is great. Size wise she is 22 she might scrape 23 so perfect size for what I want. Just mooching about. Not sure how many dogs I have left in me Ray but I am liking the collie side of things. I don't think I am up to to rugged hot headed dogs. I want the easy life now a days Your Buck has done you well I remember the posts years ago when he was a pup. Time flies by

Very true more if your a dog for life guy lol. If she took 2 years to get going it wouldn't matter but sure is nice to the signs that all will be well. I wanted a more laid back dog than the last one and she fits the bill perfect but not too laid back. Not sure if its a collie thing or not but she reads the expression on my face a treat. If she rides up front in the van and I catch her sat on the seat with a spanner in her mouth I can't help but crack a smile and her head tilts and I get a paw on my hand. She cracks me up at times fair play

Really pleased with the pup. Just cleared 7 months and a pleasure to be around. Just started kicking in hunting up now. Not started marking yet but it won’t be far away. Flushed pheasant rabbit and all ready seems to her eyes on retrieving shot foxes so I have to be care at dusk as that’s long way off. Keen to please. We tried to cut some thing off at the pass here but long gone. You have to try though nibble like a cat seen her walk along a branch with out second thought no worries with cover either

Last thing this country needs is more legislation but it would only affect the decent folks while the idiots carry on. I honestly don't know the answer though. Seems to be such a lack of common sense and basically brains among some people now a days

Tried in the snow once under a full moon. Too dam cold lol. Too much cover around here any way. I use bells all the time in the day. If I had to choose between a locator or bells it would be bells every time. Saved me few times when a ferret has surfaced in cover some where

Been eating lot of rabbit lately. Stuffed bit cheese in it. Never been massive fan but growing on me

Any one know the name of Glenn Waters dvd with the gatenetting in ? or has a copy for sale ?

I dont expect any one to do any thing. But a lot of dogs are going to be put down and the people that have caused this need it pointing out and the public. Christ you could even do some sort of media thing of some poor old hound all loveable being marched into a vets and then buried. Could be done all respectful like. Its just heart breaking all round. Like charts said hopefully a lot can nip over the boarder or sort some thing fingers crossed .

Not in million years

Think the vote was like 70/30 but I dont get in it this day of supposed equality how a minority can be stopped doing some thing that causing no harm just because some gits dont like it. Them poor hounds should be put down and dumped in big heap stick that on your social media for the tree huggers they caused this no one else. Not sure how well a fox hound would take to rehoming. You wouldn't be letting it off any time soon. Poor old dogs

So ridiculous that a we are put in a position where you have to ask a question like that. What a shambles

Sure I read there guts are all ways empty as they shite all the time lol.

Technically you could keep your dog on a lead let it mark up and crack on with nets and not break any laws. Depends how far they go to get people. Surely they can't do you for being equipped. If your then driving home with your rabbits dog and ferrets having not broke any laws you would imagine you should be good. But would that be the case !

When I pushed the point Hello Terry, You are not allowed to use Lurchers (or similar) to kill rabbits any longer. You may only use up to 2 dogs to flush rabbits out from cover to then shoot them. Time of day/night doesn’t impact this. I have been travelling down south which is why the response wasn’t immediate. Hope this helps, Cameron So yea game over

I asked BASC scotland can we still ferret with one lurcher and the reply was Yes. Section 6 of the bill creates an exception for game shooting, where it is still legal to hunt wild mammals provided that no more than 2 dogs are used. There are other conditions in section 6 so I have included a link to the bill for your convenience. Hopefully this answers your question but if you would like any further information please do not hesitate to contact me. https://www.parliament.scot/-/media/files/legislation/bills/s6-bills/hunting-with-dogs-scotland-bill/stage-3/bill-as-passed.pdf

The laws are made by people who simply don't understand. That silly cow that that seemed to play the main part. If you asked her whats a marking dog she wouldn't have a clue. Whats a squatter. Whos Brian Plummer. Sorry couldn't resist. Infact lurchers and ferrets hardly came on there radar. Just caught in the cross fire

Its the principle

I will email basc seeing as I pay the buggers
