    The vet at the time was very reluctant to tell me anything, got the feeling he didn’t approve of digging terriers and didn’t want me or my kind there, the dog had three or four more seizures that probably lasted less than five minutes each time, I know that don’t sound long but it was heartbreaking to witness it, I had him pts not long after just didn’t want to see him suffer anymore, atb

    Phone different vets see if any can give you an idea of why it’s happening before you go to them, I had similar lates eighties with a Patterdale dog, vets didn’t know the cause back then, you’d have thought vets would have learned something about dogs fitting in the last thirty odd years, feel for you, hope you get it sorted and the dog makes full recovery, atb

    I was speaking to a neighbour some years back who used to potter about on an allotment, he gave me some handy tips, for a while I’ve had hanging baskets at the side of the kennels, Feverfew, Fennel and Rosemary deters flies and fleas and a bit of lavender to help the dogs relax, if I kept the dog feed outside I’d have peppermint close by because it deters Rats and Mice, atb

    Had a mate who used to dig with us years back that kept Border Terriers, yours dogs have that same look of intent in their eyes that CB’s dogs had and his were outright working dogs that just lived for the graft, lovely to see them like that, atb

    Wish you and the pup all the best pal.

    Seems an irrelevant question imo, all depends on how the terrier goes about its occupation, a steady baying tyke gonna be more fit and able throughout the season so should therefore be able to cope with a bigger workload, its always been that way, always will be that way, nothing to do with how many somebody keeps in their yard, because of the law as it is today somebody keeping twenty terriers in his yard probably got a yard full of show ponies...just a thought

    Never said bloodlines were bullshit princess, but fact is you hear a lot of bullshit about lads claiming to have such and such blood when they don’t.

  20. Countryman62

    Never been into breeding dogs just love working em, most important thing for me is putting quarry in front of the dog regardless of bloodlines and bullshit, atb
  22. Countryman62
    I have noticed it’s needed to be filled up more regular lately perhaps the local winos have found mine lol

    Dogs that find snails and slugs then licks em, never seen a dog eat one but licking the slime trail is all it takes for them to catch lungworm, I get less and less in the garden since I’ve set up an alcohol trap for them, they fall in it attracted by the smell of the alcohol and drown, makes me happy knowing my dogs are safer, atb
