Mick C. 229 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 How many times has a dog stuck its nose in a bolt hole which was missed when netting up. It is to many times to remeber for me personally. The right dog can put a fair few rabbits in the bag on a days ferreting in a variety of different ways Never a dull moment when the dogs are brought along Quote Link to post

Also, lots of times, the dog will mark the hole the rabbits about to pop out of, and will aso indicate when a rabbit has been pinned, not too far down the hole. Many a time, ive been able to stretch in and pull one out. And many many times, the dog has found warrens i didnt even know existed. One other - a number of times, the dog has found a ferret that has popped out of a hole way a long an over grown ditch etc, which was thought to be part of another set, or not seen.

A dog gives you the confidence to take on difficult buries when working alone. The ferret coming out and not been seen is a potential balls up and a great example of a dogs worth. The old saying mans best friend is spot on when working with the ferrets. Must have been a hunter that coined that phrase 1 Quote Link to post
