  1. Irish setter hunting dog

    The best bet would be to ask someone from the working side of the breed club to have a look at her pedigree. But you've got what you've got now, and I've known plenty of dogs with one 'show' parent to be decent workers. If she is not a keen worker, wanting to scour the earth for birds, she may...
  2. Irish setter hunting dog

    The continentals use them like HPRs, so if from the right lines, you may be in luck. Hopefully she will point, and she may well retrieve naturally, the deer work might have to wait until she is a bit more mature. If you can get hold of 'The Versatile Gundog' by Guy Wallace, it is a simple...
  3. Sold: Well bred KC Hungarian Vizsla Pup (Male).

    One male Vizsla pup available from a litter of six. Ready to leave Hampshire on the 17/11/24 - £1350. I’m keeping a bitch; the pups have been bred with the intention of producing good bird dogs, who enjoy being part of the family, and hopefully win a few field trials. The dam, Archenfield...
  4. HPR and Dog Breed History Podcast and Book Recommendation

    Agreed - absolutely fantastic.
  5. HikMicro FQ35 pouch

    Cheers - Good idea, I'll take a look.
  6. HikMicro FQ35 pouch

    Having just splashed out on a HikMicro FQ35, I'm looked for something to enable me to stow it attached to my Alaska Guide bino harness. Basically as tall pouch with a belt loop - anybody got any ideas?
  7. Shotkam - anybody tried one out.

    When are we going?
  8. Swarovski bins (new) & alaska guide creations

    But now you can't use a regular strap for when you don't want the caddy - is there a strap available that has the 'female' end of the Alaska Guide quick release tether?
  9. Sellier Bellot Blue

    Cheers Gents, will chrono next time out.
  10. Sellier Bellot Blue

    Anybody got any real world experience? I'll be using on Muntjac, Roe and Fallow. Groups nicely in my 6.5 x 55 K95, as do most things, but it's one of the few non toxics I can actually get hold of.
  11. Blaser K95 Case

    Sweet rifles though!
  12. Blaser K95 Case

    Thanks Lateral, that looks like the case I have, unfortunately with the 'new' straight stock it doesn't fit.
  13. Blaser K95 Case

    Agreed Willie - that would seem the way forward... However, it's become clear that customer service is not a priority for Blaser UK, and there doesn't seem to be a damn thing the dealer can do about it. Thanks Lateral. The case with the Allen keys etc, at least fits the rifle, unlike mine (The...
  14. Blaser K95 Case

    After months of buggering around, the case that should have been supplied with my K95 Black Edition, has finally arrived - and it's horrible! I can just about force it in, but that pushes the internal divider across which squeezes the scope (42mm objective Swaro), and also pushes against the...
  15. Shock collar

    Hare chasing / killing is the only thing I've used the e-collar for. 1st Vizsla developed a penchant for chasing and killing blue hares on the hill. Every time she did, I would religiously drag her back to the spot where she disobeyed the stop whistle, and give her a stern shake and dressing...
