  1. Throw a load of carrots in the boot and see if you can get the bunnies back with you.
  2. I think they're very pricey over here too and b*****ds for fighting. I thought about a staff but if it liked a scrap it would cause a lot of grief.
  3. If I get a lurcher Ray I'd be back to moping around with nothing to run and worrying about getting plastered all over the local facebook pages. Not worth the mider locally.
  4. I'm looking into getting a dog at the minute for a family dog that can still be useful and not completely gay so been looking at labs and it's a minefield. I'm interested in other breeds but the fertility problems like labs.
  5. You could argue they have been bred for colour and dollar over temperament and health though. The majority of labs I've been around have been on the shoots and were mostly sound temperament but the couple of iffy ones I've seen have been the big show types or rescues.
  6. First working pouters of the year and the next two are just hatching today.
  7. I had a quick read through the post earlier and I'm defending anyone in any way but I had a dog put down recently and the only proof I have of it is the collar and lead I carried out with me? Are you meant to get a slip like off a log book?
  8. I think they have a very strong pair bond so I think you'll struggle but also there are lads desperate for bully hens so you could move them on easily enough or have a try at your own hybrids?
  9. 2 or 3 hen bullfinches?
  10. No local bee keepers to you interested in getting them or are they inaccessible?
  11. My goldies have only just started filling eggs too,this time last year I'd had mules fledged a couple of weeks ago.
  12. I've got a couple of pouters in the nest now and some eggs under a feral feeder pair which I'm hoping will be good birds too. I hate breeding as the birds are cooped up while they are but sometimes you need to breed replacements. Hopefully they turn out good and I can get back to catching ferret food ?
  13. Did your vet diagnose what was wrong with him Jok?
  14. I'm thinking of moving over to the dark side and getting a lab pup for the family in the house and a bit of shooting with me, mainly night time ? does the parents hip scores mean the pups will be relatively clear of problems or is it pot luck? When you look at pups online there is cheap and dear ones which seem decent abd cheap and dear which seem shite. Its that or I'm going for a cocker but I'm looking forward to having a nice placid dog and stress free walks .
  15. I miss my rollers but like you I didn't get time to fly them properly with working full time and my fertility problems. My pouters are better for me as I can just leave one out working.
  16. Do you only keep the racers now mate?
  17. Out of interest have all your dogs buried bones? My last terrier is the first dog I've had that would sneak away and bury her rats and I've had one other dog (collie bred) which buried food or bones but collies are weird buggers at the best of times. The rest just ate them.
  18. Pepe le pew finally caught that cat then
  19. Aren't they normally advertised as squirrel traps?
  20. I've seen Kellas cats mentioned and videos of them etc and dna says they are hybrids between ferals and sw but at what point could/would a feral start evolving into a bigger cat? Some of them ferals in Australia are pretty bloody big and there's no Scottish crosses over there?
  21. Good send off for him. This was a local gentleman's coffin last year.
  22. And the let Paul sykes read the page 3 on his back every day
  23. I'm sure there will be a couple you can reach the pedals in Chid?
  24. Personally I'd look for a goldie cock or try a trio in the flight. If you got a goldie now they'd soon pair up in this spring weather outdoors.
