Guest manda Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 was out the other day with my ferret, my whippetxbull and my mates bull grey, i have had the ferrets since babies but decided to take the hob out see what he was like, tried a few holes at the bottom of the field, nothing came out so took him up the top to all the big sets, put him down he was doing really well working hard, he then bolted a bunny but into a bit bush so slipped my mates dog, rabbit seen the dog and ran back into the bush where the ferret was next thing we see is the bull grey running out with the ferret in his mouth fighting like f**k but for all the shouting and trying to get him off it was over in a matter of seconds the dog is supposed to be excellent with ferrets but with not having anything to do with them for a couple of month and not had anything for a while we can only put it down to frustration but also once them bull x's see red thats it no going back.... i have since bought another hob to keep my jill company he is 10m old and seems to work fine and my bitch is excellent with him will post some pics asap Quote Link to post

chink07 0 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 sorry to hear about ya ferret mate, as i only hunt the humble bunny i wouldn't give a bull x kennel space (just my opinion bull fans)just because there are breed to kill and when the red mist sets in kill they do .yours in sport chink Quote Link to post
moter poacher 2 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 im not saying bullx are no good for rabbiting far from that!all im saying is there, there for a reason rabbiting whatever,i was just stateing that it could have been easily done by a over enthusiastic terrier!not just because its a bullx if he only grabbed it by mistake and the ferret bit him,he was just doing is job Quote Link to post

Kay 3,709 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Well if a dogs broken to ferrets then it shouldnt be a problem i wouldnt think Quote Link to post
leegreen 2,141 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) Well if a dogs broken to ferrets then it shouldnt be a problem i wouldnt think I think we should underline the word broken, for a dog that only goes ferreting once in a while (especially a terrier cross), it is a good possibility that a hyped dog may kill a ferret especially if they deal with getting bitten on a regular basis yc sorry to hear about you ferret Edited January 21, 2008 by leegreen Quote Link to post

fireman 10,802 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 That is a shame mate.I have in the past and will do no doubt in the future well upset some folks by not letting anyone but me take dogs out with my ferrets,i dont care how much they bleat on about how good their dogs are with ferrets.All i know is my dogs are trustable and my ferrets are safe,would ruin a day having a dead ferret and a dog to keep it company in it's hole in the ground.
