gray hound type ferrets

[michael40 4]

hi all, can anyone tell me how i do a search, because i am looking for different types of ferrets, i have some ferrets which i think are the gray hound type????? i will post some pictures as soon as i can. i will try to give you a description the best i can, the first thing is the length of the ferret, these are long, over two foot, long neck and head, long pointed nose, a slight arch in there backs, extremely fast,the tip of the nose is bigger than a normal type ferret, i have kept ferrets on and off for some years now but have not seen any like these before these are half as long again as my polecat type ferrets, they have a very good lively nature and are not at all snappy in anyway, i have a ferret box which holds six ferrets but i can only carry three because of the room each one takes up any pictures or links would be of great help. thanks for any help, mike

ive always been told the greyhound ferret is a big type not these little shrinks you see around today i mabey wrong but why would they call a little ratty type ferret a greyhound ferret?

Greyhound ferrets were favoured for rating, I used to breed them, they aren't tiny but you wouldn't call them large by any means.

My ferrets, are the same as those on the window sill in a thread call "old type ferrets"i have been out again today getting

a trigger job done on my rifle, i have spent some time with them this afternoon and when they go on the floor they move real fast so should work really well, i will put some pictures up tomorrow because i will have more time. you can just tell how good these will be by the way they move and there body manner, they already work but just need a bit more handling... mike
