    a bit of road work is handy, but aound me the ground i work is quite rough so i tend to jog them on similar ground

    i remember reading a case up north on the internet where a man in manchester got prosecuted for trapping a rat live in a cage trap and releasing it for his young pup to learn the trade, things are shocking at the moment

    if you spay a collie they go huge, can't get the weight off my nans one she's 10, i'd try a muzzle mate and see how you get off

    Bought a Bedlington pup the other day lads, 15 months old, bushing but hasn't seen anything else, had him out yesterday after work and he flew through thick brambles and bolted a rabbit. Well happy with him, anyone on here work Beddies and have any advice?

    have you read Freds book, rabbiting man, interesting read full of old stories from England and Australia
  8. Richard Warwick
    what are they trying to sabotage? or are they digging to quarry?
  9. Richard Warwick

    a big doe rat could do a muzzled ferret damage, i don't intend on using one it come up in a book and i was curious
  12. Richard Warwick
    i just googled what kind of muzzle it is, looks like a nasty piece of kit!

    i am currently reading a book called rabbiting man by Fred J. Taylor. he talks about using Ferret muzzles to stop his ferrets killing rabbits in the 1950's, has anyone heard of this method and does anyone still use it?

    My Saluki Bull Greyhound bitch has sprained her front leg, it's very swollen, she's going to the vets today, i was wondering if she will ever run the same again, she's only 2 year old and had a good start last season, i've had her since a pup and had high hopes for her. any one got any experience regarding a sprained leg? Cheers

    hardest thing about this cross these days is finding a staffie with the right prey drive, most are pets bred to look a certain way and not to hunt prey
  19. Richard Warwick
    according to a book by the late Brian Plummer, Whippets before the second world war weren't short of fire and such a cross wouldn't be needed, certain kennels may have tried to X these breeds but i can't see the dogs keeping they're speed and agility, what Phil Drabbie book are you reffering too? wouldn't mind reading it myself big fan on Staffies
  20. Richard Warwick
    i've only ever seen one Staff X out in the field, and it isn't any good for legal quarry, but this was a big built type and not the racey type you've described

    got a 600m beam that should be plenty for rabbits
  22. Richard Warwick
    if you double up one dog is turning the rabbit, the other is catching the rabbit, for a young dog this can give loads of bad habbits, not just hard mouth but running in the beam. i wouldn't double up on any quarry
  23. Richard Warwick
    get her ferreting, she'll have a taste for them then

    docking the ail is handy for bushing terriers, isn't that the purpose, very interesting job Matt, do you know of any papers published with facts etc in regards to the owl populations and rodenticides?

    A 'hobby' Twenty five years a professional You see, you've made a serious error there, Barn Owls are in fact one of the most seriously effected species, along with kestrels. The bait kept down permanently for rats is actually being eaten by small mammals, like woodmice and fieldmice, which are in turn being predated by Barn Owls and Kestrels. For many years now, residues of rodenticides have been found in liver samples taken from dead birds. There is very little actual evidence that these residues are causing deaths, but the BoP lobby have made as much of it as they can.
