Nobby8126 96 Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 I know that it isn't a must to have a pooch on your trips but I'm itching to get a small lurcher to tag along (my spanners just rag my nets). So whats the general consensus on a ferreting dog luxury, help, hinderance? Quote Link to post

Nobby8126 96 Posted March 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 If I can get it past the warden I have a chance of a bedo/whippet with a hint of saluki. All working well and I completely trust the owner Quote Link to post

fred90 3,210 Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 walked past a little 5 hole at the side of a water trough this morning. no sign of rabbit activity you wouldn't look twice at it but the dog knows different. 1 Quote Link to post
