Plong 21 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Once had a hob fine to handle, but when working would leave the set and set off down the hedge looking for the next. Would bite any dog that got too close, nice animal but would not bother with another for working abit wick for me prefer a steady albino. Would have been a handy ferret for anybody working shallow easy to dig sets if you wanted one that would either bolt or kill but due to the sets I work ditch sides hedgerows prefer a ferret that bolts.

Halfinch 51 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Always seems to get a lot of attention this question, I'm guessing it's usually Chavy "types" that are interested in it, simply because they can tell their mates " I've got a REAL polecat, big as a Rottie, brave as a lion, and got a bite like an alligator" Well, good for those of you that want that type of animal! Me? Well ive got a pair of Hob and Jill ferrets that will Clear just about every warren i put em in, always return unless trapped, and wont bite my arm off if i need to stick it down the hole. So back to the question of is a Polecat better? Unless it skins the little feckers for ya, i'd say NO. Quote Link to post

So back to the question of is a Polecat better? Unless it skins the little feckers for ya, i'd say NO. To be fair.. i know of polecats that are just as bad... Viscous little fuckers. I personally don't believe the breed has anything to do with temperament! I believe its down to the owner/handler of the ferret to teach it right from wrong i.e correct it when it bites! All this bollox about EU's are better, Polecats are better. They are what you make em. If there parents are good workers there's a good chance there offspring will be. But then again that's not all ways true either. Then again, im just a novice... what do i know? Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 i,am from mid wales and crossed wild polecats with ferrets 50years ago they are the best workers you will ever have you dont need a marking dog because they wont enter when there is nothing at home and the dont bite if there well handled, and they dont come out until theres no rabbits in the burrow their faster than ferrets when working even greyhound ferrets arent as fast, why knock them when youve never worked them their not for beginners so stop talking them down. it doz my head in reading rubbish by in experrence people that think they know it all :D It's this pish that gets me. A decent normal ferret - will not enter if there is nowt at home. - won't bite if well handled. - won't come out till there are no rabbits left below ground. - is fast as feck. - will work all day everyday if well looked after. . . . . so stop with all this "they are the best workers you will ever have", as it just makes it sound like you have always experienced shit ferrets to be honest. 1 Quote Link to post

ROMEO666 0 Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I had a pair of europeans, got them off this woman, they were handled well by her, didnt bite her either, they bit me and hard. One bit me in the eyebrow tearing it to shreds, when ah was feeding them, but one thing they were fine with my wife, and ma girls, i dont know whats better euro or ferret, but if it flushes rabbits from warrens and does not bite then thats good enough for me.
