  1. Most definitely there, as good as the day they were made
  2. Well this one is definitely a sleeper, should be good on those quick partridge 🤫🤫🤣
  3. He replied to me at just after 5 yesterday, then the phone was engaged for the rest of the evening. Its a good job I didn't really need them😀😀
  4. Funniest ever reply I've seen on here " Do you shoot many Kangaroos"🤣🤣 can anyone resurect that thread?
  5. In the same vein as the "dog section threads" what do you use that for then??🤪
  6. Same with my last 2 weimeraners, got a GWP in training now so we will see this season, may give her a few days later on in the season, she's still a bit fresh at 15 month and I lost 5 week training due to a foot injury but 🤞.
  7. Just moved mine to CSJ, more than happy with the results so far👍, if you give them a call they will advise on best product as they do a few, hope it helps.
  8. The flue from a fire would be getting hotter than a boiler flue for instance, as the boiler will be running through the secondary heat exchanger, as a balanced flue from a fire will be running far hotter as passing straight from the combustion area to atmosphere.
  9. Just checked as I left, but couldn't see him anywhere near "the naughty step"😄😄
  10. See GMM243 back on page 1, But I give in the constant bickering is doing nothing for this thread or the forum, and I don't want to derail any further.
  11. Just might be nice to stick to topics you have first hand experience in? I haven't on true pointers/setters so interested to read different accounts, rather than clogging a good thread with i read in a book or my mate said. Just my opinion you understand
  12. After recently purchasing a pup that had previously been registered to the previous owner, both KC and microchip, I couldn't believe how easy it was to transfer both into my name, with no checks with previous registered owner.
  13. Honestly can't believe I got it into that state. Just for a buddy toffee apple😆😆
  14. More repairing things at the moment.
  15. Collared creature's, pricey but work very well drying and warming, very well designed and fit well, although I bought it with growing room.
  16. Chip off the old block when it comes to snow😃👍
  17. Nothing that can't be overcome, the last 4 weeks have been hell, have you tried to keep a gwp still? She is so laid back usually its just at the minute on scent her heads like a referees whistle a little bit of scent up her nose and her brain spins like the pea🤯, but she is listening more now everything isn't quite as fresh😀 this lab pup will be a breeze 🤞
  18. Got one of ninjafeets gwp pups in training at the minute, fantastic nose covers the ground with ease, taking commands well but headstrong on scent (but she has just been laid up for 4wks due to a foot injury) they fire into cover with no concern for there welfare. I had a weimaraner (seriva lines) previously who was a much more selective bitch, if there was no scent she would know and just turn and give you the look if there was nothing around, but would stred herself to find the last bird or sit in a hide all afternoon just as easy, until I got a runner one day then there was a rather large hole in the net. Get out on some training days and speak to as many owners of working dogs as you can, they don't do great as just pets, but give them something to think about and you won't own a more faithful companion.
  19. I've always been told "pit ponies" are just ponies when they are in there field resting. I cant see why we are stung so much for the working dog insurance?? Does it work the same for horses if they follow the hunt?
  20. Yes I realise it doesn't cover working dogs, since I got a quote for the pup, but when she slit the foot no questions were asked as obviously she was only going a walk. The question that keeps niggling me is if a working spaniel or such is kept as a pet but works hedges etc for fun on a walk, wheres the difference, in my mind a dog should be insured for illness and non work accidents etc but not for working injuries etc, similar to taking a car or bike on a track day your insured to drive/ride it there, but racing on a track is at your own risk/cost
  21. I use animal friends for my GWP, not entirely sure (without reading policy) what is covered, but she has recently had a severe cut to her foot to the bone and catching a vein close to her arteries, which they covered full costs for minus the £99 excess they just dealt with the vet group. The policy is £11pm so not out of the way but just tried to cover my lab pup quoted at £14pm but as I said I might work her in a couple of years they have refused cover completely. So I guess I'll be on the search again.
