  1. Handy for stock. I remember as a kid walking along the bottom of a bank with the JR taking the lead doing his thing. The lurcher pup looked up the bank and saw some sheep taking off and he made a start to go then hesitated and looked what the JR was doing and thought sod it and followed the JR. That was him broke he never made another move at a sheep again
  2. Going to sack walshie if he don't hit this numpty with his big stick
  3. Yea clue is the name like purse
  4. I think its also a last ditch attempt at a cry for mercy going all submissive. They know there screwed and nothing else left to try. Just a thought
  5. He won't resist them dark windy nights
  6. @walshie get rid of this numpty for gods sake. I got him blocked and can't even see him but his still irritating me ?

    Terriers

    They sound good dogs your just going to have to be on the ball you won't stop them going to ground and a shame to even try. All ways carry a shovel on every walk and keep collared up but know your ground as best you can. If they take off on a scent get them legs moving and try keep up
  8. Aye good luck not easy at time. Vary the sheep and circumstances too. You can walk them round the same shep daily for 5 months and be bang on. Then go some where else on a frosty morning ferreting and walk over the brow of hill and see half dozen running up the valley bottom and its a different ball game again Then you get the sly ones that know what a long line is all about.
  9. Ray is right I reckon it is not nice but you have no choice but even that may not work with some like mine. So collar is next best thing and better as you having the timing on your side. Use continuous not pulse or it might run through it. It might take a few goes some times but every time it sets off bang it won't take many goes. In the mean time never give it the opportunity again with out a collar be cause each time it goes it will be harder.Get a long line on. Plus a walloping after the event is not ideal and too late really
  10. Our local pack are a great bunch of folks and they run there own local lurcher, terrier show. I don't follow as it is not my thing. But we all need to stick together
  11. BT just make the fast places faster and to hell with the rest. You get some farm house at the end of the line in the middle of now where your screwed. No way will BT spend spend the dosh to get you on a par with every one else
  12. Good offer Jamie and hope you get back at it soon.
  13. All ways like to give the dog a rag back in the day where's the harm as long as it's dispatched first. Not so important once there going but no reason not too. This was back in the early eighties when we had a bit more freedom and weren't forced to recycle ffs Even now with the ferrets when they start. This was the jills first day out but rarely bother once they are going.
  14. Well said. Took me over 3 years to break mine with sheep and his now 5 and ok with them. But I never trust him and work him accordly. His not so bad his a liability and has lost things by sheep and not looked twice. But I know the dog and just because he does some thing right one day don't mean he will do it the next. I live in wales and we manage fine. Yes it does detract from the day being on edge at times but I am happy to live with. Some are not which is fine as well
  15. Never trust them fully but i bet you could have a good go and manage it.
  16. Feel sorry for the dog. not the dogs faults it has not been stock broke and its obviously had a good go and gets cast off like rubbish
  17. Only messing handy to have actually
  18. Guy on tv the other doing ultra marathons and he runs with a pom just goes to show. Any dog will so I wouldn't throw in the complications of a hunting type dog
  19. Makes sense to peg as you go. If your nice and steady they will sit tight till you pass then head for home but it don't matter then. Or of the wind is not perfect and blowing at an angle when they scent you will have passed and net is down.
  20. If there was ever a time I was going to skimp on bagging it was when I made this pissing thing ? I got it done with a 100% and it catches fine. Yes I dropped a mesh on the running line lol
  21. I just don't like the look of all them baskets and stuff Micky. I need a bloody sherpa half the time as it is ?
