Fingers crossed I should be meeting up and introducing pooch to my 2, then a home introduction then maybe a quick look at her working. I trust the guy I'm getting her from completely as he could have moved her on 100 times but wants to know where she is going, he loves his dogs. He has also been a huge help to me over the last few years teaching me the basics of the sport and allowing me to accompany him on trips. I wont embarrass him on here but if you see this mate you've been a diamond.
I was recently approached by olight and asked to give a review of their best seller. I highlight good and bad points and run a few test. No doggers were hurt in the making of this film.

At what age do you stop working your ferts? This is my first batch and they are now 6 so I have new stock coming this year. Obviously I want to give the old ones a run out as they still love it. Just wondered what your thoughts were on this.
No doubt been asked and answered a million times but has any one found a better collar for ferrets. With me being a stumble thumbed moron I struggle like a dung flinging ape trying to do up the little buckle.
I know that it isn't a must to have a pooch on your trips but I'm itching to get a small lurcher to tag along (my spanners just rag my nets).
So whats the general consensus on a ferreting dog luxury, help, hinderance?
Been a real quiet season for me this time so I thought I'd load up the kids to get one last fridge filler. No Massive bags just enough to keep me and the kids occupied.

I would question my dogs drive if I could call him off when he is on
Different ball game I know but I have no issues with my spanners drive and commitment but can stop them on a sixpence (one of them any way the other is a homo). You suppress prey drive when introducing to ferrets but they continue to work well. My opinion is only based on my limited work with gundogs but premise should be the same, in saying that when I had ex racers and they got a whiff of something I had no hope of getting them back. I guarantee as soon I start with lamping my opinion will change pmsl
you have to get the recall/stop nailed before working at night mate. Get them on the whistle, its harder to sort out bad habits than install good ones from start. Repetition, repetition, repetition.
Don't have anything against bull just thought with a smaller dog prob best not to have anything in it to beef it up. Don't need the extra grit it brings for rabbits.
I agree mate but I don't the space for a big pooch, my greyhounds were awesome dogs but with tail being at coffee table height with a house full of kids is asking for trouble. Around spanner height, bit taller, will be awesome.
