Brambles Posted March 10, 2024 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2024 (edited) Well after ferreting for the rest of the season without auld Tilly it never felt the same. We're the burrows occupied, christ I'm 5 nets short bet they bolt from these holes today and no dog to resolve my problems. Well after much looking and enquiring into what was being bred, I've took charge of this little tyke. Well bred from well worked parents, so meet Nellie folks. I'll keep yous posted as to her progress. Next season is looking alot brighter already. Edited March 10, 2024 by Brambles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brambles Posted October 15, 2024 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2024 Well folks the season is now upon us, I had the pup out for her first go with the ferrets. No nets just bolted a few for her, we ended the day on 5, she missed a few and never saw a few, by the ended of the morning the penny was starting to fall, slow and steady should have her ticking the boxes.

Brambles Posted October 27, 2024 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2024 (edited) Had Nellie back out with the ferrets this morning, starting to mark holes quite confidently so I always try to honour her effort. This is her waiting for the bolt Edited October 27, 2024 by Brambles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brambles Posted November 5, 2024 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2024 Had Nellie out on Sunday with a mates little bitch on some very steep and hilly land, Nellie only accounted for 3 but I was ecstatic with her efforts. Running downhill at full tilt takes a real bit of mental strength and I suppose suicidal tendencies which the other bitch pictured has by the bag full. I'm really pleased with Nellie's progress for 9 months of age and looking forward to seeing her progress through the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brambles Posted December 28, 2024 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2024 Been piling the work onto Nellie so far this season and she seems to be relishing it, recall, retrieving and general traceability has been great, even had her mouth on a bit of feather Just now, Brambles said: Been piling the work onto Nellie so far this season and she seems to be relishing it, recall, retrieving and general traceability has been great, even had her mouth on a bit of feather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted December 30, 2024 Report Share Posted December 30, 2024 Looks like a great replacement for the "auld bitch", there is no doubt that a dog makes most things better. Its a joy to see them work and enjoy it. Look forward to seeing more reports of her progress, she is still a young bitch, good luck.👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brambles Posted Sunday at 20:04 Author Report Share Posted Sunday at 20:04 Hello Folks, hope you's all had a great Christmas and New Year. Been a bit busy with work but not so busy that I can't get Nellie out and about. Her ferreting is coming along great guns and she's a delight to be out in the countryside with. She is retrieving live back to hand, marking burrows really well and is getting the hang of tracking the action under ground. She's a little bit dickie jumping at the moment but getting more confident daily. The odd time she'll pick up a dead rabbit and make an attempt to hid it in the reeds.
