[Jamie m 668]

what do youse guys think ferrets should be kept for working and shouldnt be bred willy nilly as pets would it be an idea only to have pestcontrolers and hunters have them or get spioled with pets and silly shows ,as i think alot of people have forgot that they are weasel stoat family and bred to work there not gerbils etc

bush whacker if i gave up hunting tomorow be looking for some close buddies to take the dogs etc as for ferrets well same mate ,, i keep enough to work and not realy much surplus , i cant realy remember having a pet animal unless it could chase etc or do some sort of work ,the hole attraction to me is catch game etc and well a dog ferret is a silent hunting partner ,but without the hunt well they mean nothing,or with some sort of job,if i gave up dogs ferrets get some sort of falcon hawk

[JPTfellterrier 65]

if the animal is well cared for and happy....who cares if it isnt working!

[whin 463]

its not a care but if you breed animals to work for along time it can be so easy to give them to pet owners and a generaition down the line they are not the same stamp ,,i dont see what pet owners have to give to a so called hunting site as theyll not be going through the pain barrier to work there dogs ferrets , its adiffrent thing always wil;l be

agreed whin but its easy to breed from pet ferrets and turn them back in to hunters ,had a few from so called best blood over the years who turned out bangers too,agreed on the pet owners on a hunting forum but if somebody asks a ferret question its rude not to answer just because there kept as pets ,i go on another site thats full of pet owners they talk of ferrets like they are there children lol but sometimes you can pick up a few permisions from there also

f mac i some cases ye pets work but ill tell you a story , thats here now had adog ferret eric a real worker killer , bred him to a few good bitches good workers , bred one of his young to a kinda pet nondiscript ferret,as the were diluted they were no were as near as the father for working ,you cant bea good worker to good worker and worked fed etc properly ,so easy to lose good strains who need litle entering and have the instincts without to much coaxing were ive saw some tahe a hole season to come on and well are not real good

iam a weekend ferreter i go out and if i get a few for family ect and enough to feed the ferts am happy its a day out not life or death for me ,i understand if u do it for a living or just full time for farmers ect u need the best ferrets , i just like being around them and as far as the grandkids are concered there pets as well .i dont think many on here would disagree on your quest for the best but even if u had the best workers in britain they would be lost on me . in truth your arguments only bear out to you and like minded pals ,the rest of us part timers dont realy need a lecture on breeding to be able to enjoy a day out ferreting it goes without saying if you want the best u breed from the best even then it dont always get u the best , enjoy your ferrets enjoy your days out thats all that matters..ps i prefer whites

good post not sure there was any need for the racist dig at the end tho

[Ratreeper 441]

my mrs keeps the most useless ferret as a pet you can imagine, it won't even eat meat ffs. I got it handed to me at work because they worked I kept ferrets and wasn't going to keep it. But it's perfectly happy and healthy, gets handled etc so what's the problem? It just gets left behind.

But you forgot to mention that I got Eric from a home where he was never worked cause the guy couldn`t even handle him,he was that bad a biter! and it took me 6 months to hand tame him into a state where he could be worked,,, ANY ferret will work (potentially) and I`ve known pets that will work just fine! who the hell are we to say ferrets shouldn`t be pets! We may not like it !(and it pisses me off mightily when I have to rescue one) but so what,,I`ve got more to bother about.

Oh and he was named Eric ,after the viking,,cause he was the biggest fekin Hob I have ever seen !!

[whin 463]

well eric was maybe lucky but al the rest werent and ive always says if you are going breed ferets get them from genuine hunting homes , saw the show shite work , the black arsed whites , best ferrets and possibly the on ly ones are worker to worker and i dont mean afew hours a week,feerets were bred to bolt rabbs the white ferets ive had were good sandys were good , not just eric , its the man behind the animal plus ,the breeding just like terriers lurchers etc ,they were bred to work if i had my way only worker to worker if they dont work furrier or in a hole ,should be licenced to pestcontrolers and rabbiting men not silly gerbil keepers as some keep them crufts feched up good workers if people dont watch itll go the same
