countrymaid 2 Posted August 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Thats nice kennel maid you are involving your son in with the dogs. Ive got 18 dogs at the moment and a litter of 3 day old Bedlingtons. My partner has a 200 acre farm but i just cannot get him interested in coming out lamping with me, its a shame because the farm is over run with rabbits. My Son who is 15 loves all the country stuff but my daughters dont seem so keen, all the mums at school think im mad because i get so excited about working my dogs and my dogs in general.

Only thing about it is if i have an accident noone would know about it. Last winter was a bitch with gales and doing the horses, dogs and other beasts while slates are coming off the roof in the dark was a fair bit scary.Got knocked down by one of the horses thought the end was ngh In the summer at the weekend we too get walkers (or bonglies as they are not so affectiontly known) who think its ok to trapse through the yard instead of using hill track like they are supposed to.

Guest MOLLY Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Thoroughly enjoy lamping, ratting and ferreting. Have 2 lurchers (one retired), 3 terriers (one retired) and 4 furts. The only shooting i do is target practise for fun, and ive just developed a passion for fishing Also live semi rural on a beef and sheep farm. My life has changed so dramatically since i started with the dogs, ive never been happier, and it just keeps getting better MOLL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Groverdog 0 Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Oh aye they are the biggest problem here too.Dont mind drivers going past fast just as long as they go wide so if horse spins then youve room. Raking about the farm ans staring into house. Someyimes wish i could find out where they live and traspe through their gardens see how they like it. Meet some nice ones too though and if they are a good bunch i will give them some eggs to take home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
