shell 42 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Went down to Lincs yesterday for the day. Set off bright and early to get to Alans for breakfast at 9am. Took Nim with us as well, and she stopped with Alans wife for the morning then came to join us later on. Got to the chicken farm and went to meet Steve, the owner. Our first task of the day was to catch 50 odd hens that the 'catchers' had missed the day before. That provided some amusement with Malc chasing one chicken in a huge circle until he managed to catch it - was like something off a carry on film!!! Got them all caught and put away, and let the dogs out. Had with us Alan's 2 dogs Fern (Border Terrier) and Gemma (cross bred terrier), and our 5, Glory, Hope and Imbra (Borders), Reeba (lurcher) and Kes (Kelpie Whippet pup). I didn't do too well with the photos this time, wrong place at the wrong time on most occassions! Waiting for a bolt One for Reeba Kes getting stuck on Few for the terriers Kes retrieving one Reeba Hope Kes Kes on the heels of this runner Kessy was kung fu fighting... Nim came to help Counted 58 in the bucket at the end of the day. Not a bad tally, some good sport, good laugh etc. My 2 kids found the energy to play out for a bit as well before dinner. Had some dinner, couple of beers, then back onto the motorway home. A good day out had by all! Shell Quote Link to post

targa 5 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I like that Kelpie cross mate, Kes looks very keen and promising. Looks like a nice day out Quote Link to post
shell 42 Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) Thanks guys! Dogfox - go to the same spot about 3 times a year, all the dogs know the script now so they are steady when they need to be. Don't take much egging on tho!!! Targa - she's only 22 weeks old, just changed her teeth. Wasn't expecting her to do much to be honest, so we were impressed she was getting stuck in. She's a wick little thing!

Ratman2 2 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Nice report there Shell, well done. You've some decent dogs there, especially Reeba. Here in my bit of Lincolnshire, me and my mate hit the rats that hard last year there's very few to be had now. Doing the rats is my favourite bit of pest control. Quote Link to post
