We rent on a country estate, not the main house, just a little one. Its a shooting estate and I do some beating durning the season when work allows, so won't mind training him up the that, he would be great to flush them out from some of the dense cover.

We have got our new puppy now. After alot of thinking about what to get we decided to go with this little chap. He is a miniture Dashchund x Westie.

2 dogs, 1 cat, and 14 chickens

We have just got a miniture dashchund x westie. He is only 11 weeks, and cant believe the nose on him. At least our kitchen floor is always clean now.

Thanks very much, will be removing the tape, hopefully tonight to see if there any marking on that on.

Just bought these air rifles to refurbish. The one is covered in tape, and not in very good condition. It looks like it could do with a new stock, so I think I might have a go at making one. Its is a small air rifle, didnt see any marking on this one, but may be hidden but the tape. It also has a scope glued onto it. It wouldnt cock so we had to put it into a vice to get it to budge and then there was a pellet in the barrel, when firing this wouldnt come out, so was suggested that this one might need a new spring. The other one looks ok, just looks like it needs a really good clean.

Will it pass MOT?

I dont know how you have dont that for +20 years. I worked away from home for nearly 5 years and that was enough. Missed seen my boys grow up and only have weekends with them, I fely part time in the house, and was looking for something closer to home even at less money. I have been lucky enough to find something with the same salary, but was willing to take a less salary and less of a job at one stage just to get back home. Family more important that money.

I have got a springer at the moment, and am picking 2 more up Thursday (they are in need of restoring, not sure what they are though but only costing me £15) Think I should look at getting them a scope then, think it will make it more fun and I dont want them to loose interest.

I was wondering what peoples thoughts are. I have 2 sons, aged 10 and 12 and they are wanting to shoot with the air rifle we have. I was wondering, should they learn with a sight or not?

They have agreed not to have one because of the cost. They want something small, I have been looking at small dog options

I also thought that was rather steep for a pup, thats why I was thinking of a cross They wanted to get a wiredhaired dachshund, but they are also around the £800 mark.

Anybody on here had a Norfolk or Norwich Terrier? Seem to be nice little dogs, just not many around. A few crosses out there though

Thats is great, I think we might see if we can get one

I am the other side of Exeter to Topsham, but still not far from me
