armchair _hunter 5 Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 this is probably a stupid question to you guys, but how do you actually start a dog ( my staff) on the lamp? is it as simple as going out at night on the farm etc, finding the rabbits, getting as close as poss then shining the lamp onto said rabbit and slipping the dog? sorry if this sounds ignorant but i do not come from a hunting family/nor do i have friends who hunt, i worked with a guy for a year who had abit of exp. lamping with lurchers, digging foxes etc but have lost contact unfortunately, and always do you/can you squeak foxes in on the lamp then slip the dog? im in northern ireland and as far as im aware we're stil aloud to run quarry with dogs (foxes and hares), isnt this right? 1 Quote Link to post

pitfurness 2 Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 When people say bull, most people hear "Pit Bull", and they are nasty dogs, even when kept by the best owners in the world. It's down to the short temper. Most dogs will warn before attacking, a pit bull will go from completely calm seeming to full on, out to kill attack mode with no warning in between. Staffies, which most people think are the same, are a completely different kettle of fish. A temper a mile long, and they will run away and hide rather than hurt someone. Even when cornered they will try not to hurt humans. Dogs on the other hand, are fair game. I have a staff x lab, and he's completely mental, but wouldn't hurt a human for the world. He plays rough though, as all terriers do, and some dogs don't appreciate that, and it can turn into a bit of a snarling match! Pit Bulls are banned because they are f#####g dangerous, especially with the types that tend to own them. you dozey muppet!! you know as much about dogs as im confident in beating stephen hawking in a quiz!! Go do some research. The only proper bull is a pitbull!! others are just substitutes. Quote Link to post
ReggieCuz 18 Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Funnily enough its' the breed bans that is making the pitbull in England a dangerous dog. Because of the ban people are mating pits willy nilly with any other pit they can find. The short gene pool is being overbred and carelessly bred, resulting in unstable dogs that make the papers. I have lived in the US and I have met hundreds of great natured, stable pibulls who can be trusted with people 100%. That is purely because there is a good gene pool to choose from. The pits I have met here and in Australia are invariably a little psychotic due to over inbreeding thanks to a limited gene pool and black market breeding. A lot of them seem to be nervous, intimidated types instead of the outgoing clownish types. Not all of them, obviously, but quite a few. In Australia I had a good stable pit, pre ban. He was 100% trustworthy around people but I would never have left him alone with another male dog. Quote Link to post
robo-christ 40 Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 i dont agree with that,i dont think the average chav inbreeds his/her dog they just put it over another piece of shit dog that looks a bit like a 'pit'. whereas a good breeder knows how to get the best out of inbreeding. 1 Quote Link to post
