You have some lovely terriers Steve??
-
True. I dread to think how many potentially top class terriers have been put down too early over the years by clueless owners with big egos.
-
At least we can still take the dogs out?
-
Good posts StopEnd, keep it up lads??
-
Lovely types them.
-
Notice how nobody is overweight too. A total change of the times. Thanks for sharing Marshman??

No it was in one of Harcombe’s early terrier year books.

I heard there’s no foxes on the Falklands and it’s a load of shite.

He’s doing the young fella proud??
-
He’s stood me in good stead, basically based my kennels on him.
-
Looks a nice dog too, good jacket and good head on him.
-
But what a dog! ?

Fair play, we all havto start somewhere, and most probably started by doing the very thing you did. Glad to hear you’re still at it, as a lot of young lads fall by the wayside and take up other hobbies, only a very small percentage keep it going??

It’s all the bitching and politics, enough to turn a man grey overnight? -

Every man has his own opinion, but to me, I couldn’t and wouldn’t dream of risking a decent terrier in a death trap like that, where the best outcome possible is a bolted fox ? F*ck that.
-
Depends on the fox you’re digging to in many cases, Ive seen dogs do a few hards hours and be relatively easy to look after and then others have a quick dig and the wounds are going bad the next day. Each dog and time to ground is different.
-
Yeah I agree with the quad part Dilly, if everytime they’re out the box it’s straight into an earth then it’s natural that they’ll expect the earth to be occupied. Also a thing we do up here is mark an earth with a dog on the lead to save time, if you always use the same dog to mark and stick another in then the second dog can begin to assume everytime it goes to ground there’s something in. I suppose the answer is to put as much individual time into each dog as you can, it’ll come to your benefit in long run.??
-
The dog was a worker, but you had to be sure the earth was occupied otherwise he would mess about. Was it my youthful over-keenness encouraging him into earths as a pup or was it the fact he wanted work so much he would search and search?? I don’t know the answer, but I’ve never had it since.
-
A lad I know calls them ‘peepers’, run around an empty earth baying at nothing and coming to a hole, peeping out and going back in. What a f*ck on, I had a dog that used to do it when I was a young lad, used to drive me mad, I simply couldn’t put up with it nowadays.
