Polecats


Recommended Posts


Am meant to be seeing a guy next weekend who has captured poleys and hoping they are going to be genuine unlike the kit i was sold last year.

 

It's always nice taking wild animals from their natural environment so you can feel like 'the man' because you own it. . . . .

I must admit after 30years of ferreting i had never used/seen a eu polecat,however an aquantence of mine aquired a male last year and ive worked him this year and to be honest i was very impressed,he was thorough,fast,and would work all day a little feisty for my likeing but nothing that couldnt be sorted with time.So much so iam thinking of mateing with him this season.Has anyone got any experience when these are crossed to normal polcat/albino ferrets etc i think with the right jill he could throw some lovely kits!

Vanman, I used to have a couple of one-eighth polecat hobs that I was very pleased with. They were sired by a 3/4 ferret 1/4 polecat of my mates, put over one of my jill ferrets. My mate never really used the sire much (that I saw anyhow) but was always saying what a good worker he was. That hob was bred by a friend of his, who I never met, using a half cross hob that was, by all accounts, the dog's b**locks. Supposedly very fast and efficient.

 

The one-eighth hobs I had were both good, one of which was outstanding, probably the best ferret I've ever had. Unfortunately I'd had the pair of them castrated when young, otherwise I would definitely have bred from the better of the two.
