Ideation 8,216 Posted August 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Aye, if it works out, they should be very good dogs on rabbits and rats, and in a different world, would probably account for a few other species to. Both Finn and Ddu have flushed foxes and hare to the gun, and Finn has 'retrieved' a few other things as well. . . . 2 Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted August 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 I was waiting for someone to notice Its a nightmare having dogs with black nails. . . . I never cut finns as you can't see where to cut. . . . . . so he just gets run on the road to wear them down. . . . . as its the summer, he's not been out road running yet. As for her. . . . . I don't know what the excuse is Summer maybe? My mate is a vet (and farmer) so he's got no excuse Doesn't seem to effect either of them running though. Had finn out last night and he did ok Quote Link to post
tote 854 Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Couldn't help myself but comment Jai... Must admit it's a pet hate of mine, seen too many injuries due to long nails. Aye black nails can be a ba**ard to do. 1 Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted August 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Yer its a big issue with Finn, and I've had problems in the past, his nails grow like feck, the main issue I think, is he is in the house, where the others are in concrete floored runs! I hate cutting his, so just jog him a long the lanes most nights in the lead up to the season. . . . . . Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted August 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 BT - If she takes, they should be around at the start of October sometime. Jim - They won't be born here mate, my place is just the knocking shop lol. She will be heading back to West Wales in the next couple of days. Ive seen them tie at least twice more so fingers crossed. 1 Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted August 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 6 years you've had him? Times flew by I remember when you had him as a pup how's he been for you jay Just did the maths and i'm out by six months. So he's five and a half! But aye time has indeed flown. . . . . he has been a very good dog. He can do my head in at times, and he's the most independent, single minded little sod I know. . . . . but he knows how to hunt and catch, and he has never given anything but 100% day and night, and he'd run himself to death for me if I asked him. He catches a lot more than he misses and has had an eclectic mix of quarry. By the way, I can't think who you are? Newkid. . . . . i'm unfortunately over dogged at the moment, with four dogs of my own all of working age (albeit different types). Ive two running dogs and with Finn still hopefully having a few good years in him yet and the young bitch coming into her own. . . . It wouldn't be fair on them or a new pup. I am really keen to find someone I know local to have one though lol. 1 Quote Link to post
