Airedale pup from Redline working lines
bigdan replied to skycat's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
just wondering they do look a hansome animal but they would be to big for digging i personly think to big for bushing i prefer a smaller dog could they run a rabbit fox ect or will they be for gun work retrieveing sorry if this qeustion has been asked i thought they were an british dog for hunting not used much anymore exepted shows what im trying to say is if they aint used much anymore maybe for a reason do you know the reason just a qeaustion -
if it works then its a working terrier people think you must dig a terrier i dont think so mine a rats and rabbiters and do it well i am awere it must be hard to find a good digging dog as any terrier should be able to hunt rats /rabbit some better than others were bushing is concerned they need to watch a nother dog when pups but mostly there nature will make them hunt im not a digging expert but i bet it takes more to train maybe im wrong

mate i hunt with did a brother x sister mateing with his bullxgreyxwheaten grey the pup he kept back is doing well also hes had good reports back about the other pups both sire and dam were game hence the reason for the mateing just a thought if you have a dog same litter as your bitch near you that way you know what the pups will look like and if they like game with sharp teeth good look what ever you choose not an expert but is brother and sister a bit close to breed not a dig a genuine question
-
first i aint getting involved i dont think people should breed for money or pass on crap as workers it is are responsibility 2 find these dogs good homes i dont know kreet and aint getting involved but there are known dog dealers handcock and so on but people still buy of them it seems maybe he is just trying to help friends and find a dog a home if he is then good luck done it myself we shouldnt pass judgement until we know the truth

i dont hunt for sport for food or if asked i dont like to run a hare this time of year but if i needed food i would i dont really hunt fox but would kill cubs if i was asked there pest usally i dont hunt fox i cant eat it if i had any pups comeing on i would run them to bring them on but it does my head in when people say me dog got 3 out of 3 today [in the summer]hardly a challenge for a dog of any sort of ability

i always take my pups bushing first to watch start to scent and watch the big dogs depends onb the breed i would say about a eight months to a year for bushing ive know courseing dog ruined being ran to early they might jack or become yelpers so depends on breed and game start easy take your time you cant rush a good dog takes time some of my best came into it a bit later in life about 2 had a good bitch at 21/2before first time she was run so between a 12 to 18 months should be fine its easy to break a dogs spirit its hard to build confidence age experience helps bigtime
-

-
first its not for me itsme brother has two pups a 3/4 saluki greyhound and a 3/4wippet bedlington he might have to get rid of one now i would help but cant aint got room i need to know your opinons on the pros and cons first he mainly wants it for bushing flushing from terriers and lamping i'll start i think the better will be the wippet x as there game fast and leglly you can only hunt rabbit and so on even lo the saluki x is handy for bigger game i suppose my question is is a wippet od the same job as bigger dogs but is a bigger dog as good on rabbit as a smaller one as i s
