hes looking 30 quid good or bad ???

[stroller 341]

They are bonny little things are they just like a ferret in ability and handling training?

 

as an experiment i would pay £30 for one just to see how it goes, if you have a fancy to do something you should go and do it lifes too short to let a few quid get in the way. £30 quid is only half a night out when one of them little things will be with you for years and give you no end of pleasure

Simple question i'd want to know is does he work the parents and how good are they. It dont matter whats in something half as much as that it came from good working lines. Plenty of folk breed wild polecat x and diluted strains and some are breeding them worker to worker and producing dark type good workers with a bit of zip and some and just breeding for cash and color. Same old same old really. If they are bred properly then they will keep the same as any other tame mustelid. Space, Fun, Meat, Water, Handling, Hunting, Job done

Fair enough, but if she is having 3 litters than you know what her motivation is (MONEY). A part of me always looks down on those kind of folk, who breed for cash rather than to keep their line going and then get rid of the excess. If she has an average of say 8 a litter - thats 24 kits £720. Sad

Was emailing the person to enquire about a young jill & hob next year.

 

Hopefully things work out.

I got a collection of standard ferrets that work all day, everyday, bolt nearly every rabbit that the come across and kill what wont bolt. They will never leave a rabbit behind and are a pleasure to handle, having never bitten me and being happy to be picked up. Soon as the warren is clear they run up and look for the box. Out of interest how would adding this blood to my line benefit me? Other than a more marketable color? I think the problem is too many folk breeding shit has weakened working ferret lines and so folk reckon they need wild blood to make good workers, but give it time and you'll have plenty of dark ferrets that are also useless workers . . . .

pure shite polecats wild tame whatever dont work any better than whites sandys whatever wat the rabiting full time for a few good seasons best ferrets i had was a big old ferret called rex white and along sandy jill worked till seven then died ,polecats had them years ago no better than a good working ferret ,one thing i didnt like about polecats was some were quick and not steady at times , had one polecat caut her in the wild she was black with not much white took months to handle she wouldnt go in ahole unless there was a rabbit she was good but only hunted for her self not to please me i diluted her with my own ones the young were better but you still had to spend alot of time handling them as thye were half wild ,and a bit shy if you didint soend loads of time with them ,stick to real good workers and FOGET FANCY PRICES AND COULORS GUYS
