Pignut 4 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 My lot consist of two Patts (Yes I know they are both completely different) - one bitch (2yr old - bl/tan) and one neutered dog (unknown age, rescued from the streets of England! - black) and an old lurcher (nearly 12). We go out and about every day and this is them at work. The black Patt is straight in there, working hard, digging and digging away, the lurcher will help while the black Patt often checks his holes and is focussed on the job. Sadly the Bl/tan bitch starts off well and then loses interest. She finished her day standing behind the lurcher trying to catch the earth he was throwing up when digging! Like catching flies! Anyway, nothing is ever caught and the bunnies continue to taunt! They have no predators up here. Also, before you all say why are they on leads - it is because it is coming up to lambing and this lot will bugger off while you blink and then the farmers will shoot 'em. So it is better to keep them easily grabbable rather than shot at. Enjoy Pignut Quote Link to post
trapper25 0 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 you need to get yourself a ferret mate Quote Link to post
adam 0 Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 pignut that black n tan looks more like a lakeland or lakeland cross to me Quote Link to post
Pignut 4 Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 you could well be right on both counts. Though the bl/tan would eat the ferret happily. Quote Link to post
Guest dee mac Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 dude i think a couple of days out with a experienced terrierman would do you the world of good . Quote Link to post
Pignut 4 Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I completely agree. Sadly, where I live, there is no such thing!!! Just collie men everywhere. Not on these islands (Shetland). If there is one, please let me know. Cheers Pignut Quote Link to post
rob.i 26 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 The black and tan looks like a border lakie cross I once had Quote Link to post
Pignut 4 Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 (edited) This is her full sister (same litter). Apparently there is always one bl/tan in every litter. Mum has had two litters that I know of so far. Every one a coconut! This is mine. Very strange IMHO! Edited March 18, 2008 by Pignut Quote Link to post
