AndrewEdwardDennis 9 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 title says it all really, what is the worst/ most common injury your dogs have gotten whilst hunting? I'm only just getting in to hunting with dogs - been a ferreting man for a long time but as I've been reading this praticular forum my interest has grown dramatically so I want to give it a try. Does anyone find that it is more difficult to obtain permission when asking to use dogs on the land for hunting?? what would you class at the best beginer dog for training, agility, turning, retrieval etc.. Thanks in advance guys. Andrew Quote Link to post

Collie x maybe? Quote Link to post

the big chief 3,099 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 ye secand that one mate and nocking toes up and fore the dog as a first time lurcher i would go fore a bedy whippet greyhound well bred one out of good working parents that are doing the job with eas and aficantcey . and fore the permishion just fore lurcher is very hard to come by most land owners wont do it they just dont trust the dogs behavier carnt blaim them tho Quote Link to post
rocky1 942 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 2 be honest i,ve allways been into big type dogs ,but it what i see most people use for ferreting dogs and so on Quote Link to post
rapidjenky 97 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 get your self something small, collie/whippet, beddy/whippet something along those lines. get your self a ferret and some nets and go round asking for ferreting permission and just have the small dog to tag along at first. once your on and the land owner see`s he can trust you and you doin the job then its time to start running the dog. well thats the way ide do it. a small dog is more acceptable to some farmers then a big bull x as most farmers dont like lurchers or lurcher lads!

Not often mate, and usually you don't realise it's going to happen until it's too late. Quote Link to post

Whoever called a collie x dense. . . . . .well you want to stop listening to any advice they give mate. (p.s coursing is running hares and is illegal). Quote Link to post
