Never had any problem with the bellman , used it for two seasons, only time there was a hickup was when we had a bitch in a deep earth and there were some electric powerlines above us and the box kept picking up three little men in the bottom corner... also some say the collars too big but i've not known it to affect the dog in any way, one of a second season dog we dig to...

you've got to be joking "roystoncrankted"....i've seen both beddy and collie crosses kill foxes..plenty of times... bull crosses are the most common fox killers, but i have one and know of other saluki crosses that nail(ed) them ...

whens the next one due out mate?

quality post mate, theres nothing in the world that beats digging down to your terrier working his quarry, hope he carries on for you mate...

quality reply there pip, i think if a dog fucks about once it should always be given a second chance as we dont know whats going on underground, all dogs have bad days. going back to the first post, i think a worker is born, whether it has easy digs to start off or hard digs, i think the main quality needed is stubborness, pure and simple, a terrier should just want to stay with his quarry no matter what, i have a patterdale here, hes no world beater but i get the tackle with him, ive had a few good digs with him, on easy and hard quarry, hes been quite a reliable young dog(so far), hes f*

in my eyes a litter should only be bred if the lad who owns the bitch is wanting a pup or two for himself, i think as soon as you start having litters and selling all the pups you become a peddler, also it questions why the person doesnt want to keep a pup, maybe the parents aren't up to scratch?IMHO... this applies to both lurchers and terriers but most importantly terriers as people should have standards based on earthwork, however with lurchers some people strive for coursing dogs whereas others look for a deer dog etc etc...like i say, only my opinion...

whats your views on rabbit and foxing
Rabbit Hunter replied to a topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers

id hate to think how many wounded badgers would suffer a long death from a wrongly placed bullet, and yet id hate to be a badger gagging on gas as it takes it's life away ? if i was a badger and knew my time was up i would much rather lay down in my bed of grass with some terrier baying at me,and pissing me off a bit and then get a slug between my eyes at close range. its the most human and fair way they could go

help wanted urgent
Rabbit Hunter replied to patterdale moocher's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
accidents like that can happen,,,especially if the gun is waiting for a bolt,,,get her to the vets mate,,, -
Hopefully this will stop the stupid badger laws, one terrier to ground and digging to them is the most humane method...from what i've heard anyway...
