I been using b&f for 7-8 month took abit of getting used to but it really is the biz.

no prob with collars battery life excellent,rugged ect only thing i can fault is slide switch sticks out the bottom,it gonna snap off one day.

If you run your dog loose the b&f is invaluable with its vast range.If you take your dog to digs on a lead a deben will be as good as the b&f on 99% of digs.The b&f is strange to use at first,untill you are used to it so on most digs you can pin point your dog quicker with a deben.

I disagree... ..99% of digs is a little high IMHO. The B+F will not let water in, it has a huge range, it can tell you (from a stationary position) whether the terrier is still moving round or not, it is very accurate, the collar itself is of a different standard to the crappy deben one and is very, very bite resistant, the transmitter doesnt just "die on you" like the debens, when you ring B+F you get a person on the other end ofn the phone that knows what they are talking about and values its customers, all parts are replacable....etc......Yes, if you are digging pissy little rabbity spots or doing simple drains then deben will suffice, BUT if you are working a terrier properly, in large places, on digs that may take 3,4 or even 5+ hours then the B+F system gives you the confidence you need JMHO...... :whistle:
