  1. Had the pleasure of meeting a lot of lads in the valleys round Rossendale who worked piles week in week out ,very good terrier men with some special dogs no fuss and plenty of results using gun or lurcher ,you get to know the places you work and when it comes to danger over all rescued a few dogs from earths because of cave inns and a few out of piles which can be heavy work none of its for the faint hearted but like anything else it gets easier if you have the right tools ,I would never turn a dog in without a collar known lads pull piles to bits and the dog as been out for a few days in the
  2. Is there anybody had there dog have to be dug out because of the collar being caught up in a rock pile ? Once we moved some stone and found that Charlie had a full earth dug in to the bank which the pile had been tipped it held foxes for years
  3. Had a dog caught threw the collar on a root 5ft deep in a earth but never a problem in rocks
  4. Spent many a hour waiting for a bolt from a pile ,but I have never turned a dog in anywhere with out a collar on since they were invented not sure about hoping you hear them ,I like the black and tans PK very nice stamp
  5. There a lot of lads over face a young dog and judge it before its really mature and still learning its way ,if you are working terriers you know the small satellite earths round your permission and were the main places are stick to the small spots with a young an look after them and they will hold, dig them to death and they are gone forever so get as much permission as you can and keep the game in your and the dogs favour sit on your hands and let them work as long as possible and hopfully you will get a warrior that when 3.7 pops up on your box you and your mate have the confidence in the do
  6. Always enter young terriers in what we call puppy earths ,nice shallow places were you be confident of getting down sharpish ,some folk don,t move on from them the dog does not know how deep he is and they help to give the dog confidence to stay a couple of taps on the top and he will get use to the fact your on your way jmo
  7. Is it a coincidence but the hostage taker as had a lot of sexual charges against him ,are all these jihadist rapists and kiddie fiddlers as well
  8. The amount of people who don,t know when a dog as fully recovered from its last time out and work them sore as always been with the terrier game,stock man ship as been lost a lot over the years and replaced with egos and numbers
  9. The biggest loons I have had the displeasure of meeting over the last 10 years have been into the Sealyham and Bedlington and Borders ,They rarly take them out breed for looks and work is a mile down the list of whats important, yet they do well manage to get a pup into somebody's kennel that makes a dog and they keep taking the credit and earning thousands ,

  12. A little bit food for thought,years ago we got asked to clear a barn of feral cats for a farmer ,one of the best digging dogs I have ever seen that ticked all the boxes soon had enough and sat of the action ,then the same week did 5hrs in the ground and had a one hole result Another a young dog about 13 month went on a ratting day and after nailing a good few turned his nose up at them yet went on to be a very good first class digging dog you would work in anybodys company would any of you get rid of the 2 dogs mentioned because they jibbed on ferals and rats ,To many people talk about ter

  18. The bitch as really been in the wars ,she took the end of her tail just greeting me and caught the end on the side of the kennel ,what ever us or the vet as done to protect it its been chewed of and the wound opened up raw ,but she split the side of her head open on a corrugated sheet on top of 2 bales nailing a rabbit which as been treated with antibiotics and steroids ,with the bitch in pain for over a month with one thing or another and we are not making any progress with the tail at all

  21. A mate rang us the other week said he had seen a fox knocking around the straw barn ,I took the terriers over and had a look round about 10 bales up I found 2 foxes curled up dead very fresh ,he had been poisoning the rats under the pallets and I can only think the foxes had been eating the rats ,to kill them both in the same night im not sure just how much poison could cause harm to a terrier ?
  22. Done 2 seasons in a pair with the vibram sole ,they have had some stick and are still going strong with no problems
