    may be bollocks ( as you guys say lol) but i have been told that a stub tail ( NOT a bobbed tail like a mt cur sometimes has) but an actual stumpy little nub is a form of spina bifida in dogs.. It is genetic and the same type of thing that causes cleft palates. I had a litter once with a stub tailed pup AND a cleft palate pup.

    As a young cockfighter years ago, an old timer told me this bit of advice...." THE BEST MEDICINE ON A ROOSTER MANS YARD IS A HATCHET" A sickly weak pup that you have to battle to keep alive has something wrong with it. Better for the individual pup and the breed as a whole to just humanely put it down.

    My brother bred a bitch ( terrier) that ATE her entire litter of pups. we thought OK maybe something wrong with the pups or they died and she ate the dead ones to clean up whatever.....a few years later ( excellent working bitch) She was bred again by me. Started eating her pups again..perectly healthy 2-3 week old pups! She is dead now.

    MANY moons ago I was hunting in an old sheep barn that hadn't been cleaned in YEARS. The holes were literally down in dried up layers of manure. Anyway I lost a dog and could NOT find him anywhere. It got later and later until it was nearing midnight. FINALLY he came out and I grabbed him and threw him in the box and headed home. When I unloaded him at home his collar was still on him but the transmitter had been bitten off. ( I know sounds like B.S but there were tooth marks on the part that was left.) Anyway I heade back to the barn to find my transmitter and I got a locate on it and started

    Looks like he may get some work soon. I will let you know how it goes either way.

    I have only ever been out with one...so so dog at best IMO

    To be 100% honest her getting in..getting bit and coming out would bother me more than looks or anything else. BUT as has been said, she is your dog, you feed her so if YOU like her what else matters?

    of course. He will be given ample opportunity to show himself one way or the other.

    nothing at all yet Judge. I have had him a couple of weeks and I am not REAL confident that he wouldn't grab a terrier. So far he has been good with my American bulldog pup, but I get the feeling that if a male stood up to him it would get ugly fast. I will say that he has some of the biggest teeth I have ever seen on a dog... he really wants to chase anything that moves. BUT you never know until you know. He may be a gem but he may be a pure crapper lol.

    Isn't that the way of things? Had you been looking for a dog, you'd have had all bitches. Bred my old American bulldog because I wanted a pup before he died.The bitch had 3 pups. I promised one to a 6 year old boy. One died.. one was stone deaf... So I gave the last one to the boy as promised and I got nothing.

    I just read a thread about using draw dogs. Has anyone here ever used a bull terrier in any fashion either as a draw dog or a cross for lurchers? I read on an australian hog hunting board about some crosses and some of the pics were definitely bull terrier crosses. I ask because I just got a 15 month old male. Just a house dog but pretty high prey drive it seems and really likes the spring pole.

    Bock is correct. Make sure it is as dry as you can get it. I would also NOT try to seal it up. A drop on the very end and one or two more along the length just to hold it together. Keep in mind it burns so don't expect the dog to just stand there lol.

    If you continuously go back to the patterdale side, pretty quickly you will have pups that show only patterdale. BUT as someone said there is lakey in the makeup of the patterdale so on occasion you may have a lakey colored pup show up. It really depends on which dogs you select to breed to and what recessive genes they are carrying.

    yep moo, it is physicaly impossible to pour a gallon of water into a pint jar.

    StevieG I got my first terriers when my wife was pregnant with my oldest son, he just turned 25. I used to hunt a LOT but havent been in so long that I probably wouldn't know which end of the shovel to use. I have personally never owned a truly HARD terrier. I have owned some HARDISH ones but never one that I would truly call a smasher.. The harder ones always seemed to be layed up and recovering from their work so I would imagine a REAL head banger would be a dog that would be dug to then layed up.....dug to then layed up. . My preference is a dog that will bay up close, mix if he can and ta

    could u explain that a little bit better for me i know wat ur trying to say but i dont see how he is in any more trouble than any other dog As snizle said, the physical size of the dog would make it more difficult for it to just smash in on quarry. Keeping in mind there are ALWAYS exceptions to any rule ( Fatmans dogs he spoke of) generally speaking a 8-10 pound dog that goes tooth to tooth with a big raccoon or even a big groundhog here is gonna spend a lot of time recuperating. On the other hand a SMART 8-10 pound dog that will spar and mix and take a grip when the time is right is inval

    I would think it would have a lot to do with the style of worker the dogs are.. I would think a super hard dog that size could be in serious trouble. However a smart worker that size would be NICE for around here.

    Maybe Santa Claus will bring you five workers ,or maybe one the likes of which you never had Jeremy. Pretty funny that on another forum someone posted their dog was a good producer and you posted to them to prove it....but when asked the same thing on here you cur.. I mean you decline.

    HA HA HA.. yeah this one involved KENNY also. We were hunting with a new guy named BRAD. Brad was one of the nicest guys I have ever had the pleasure of meeting through the dogs. Anyway he had a dog that was really not that great of a dog. The dog was in working one time and we were all digging to the dog. we broke through at about 3-4 feet down and Brad was down in the hole trying to coax his dog on up to the critter ( I cannot remember if it was a coon or groundhog anymore) anyway , the dog was a couple feet back baying the critter and Brad was completely discouraged. Kenny leans over and t

    I was digging with Kenny Chambers years ago right after he had had open heart surgery. His dog entered a shallow den and was on a raccoon. kenny leaned over and said he could see the dog. He handed me the shovel and said to climb the fence and " dig right there". I stuck the shovel in the ground and it was so shallow I hit the coon in the ass which made it bolt right over the terrier and it climbed right up kenny. he was flailing and hollering trying to get this thing off of him and he entire time the dog is trying to climb him to get to the coon. of course I was laughing so hard I couldn't do

    You may be right tony. I may have to pay someone to take the curs in my kennels. BUT if a breeding is made here it will not be based on what I can get for the pups. I have a male here that was GIVEN to me. I have turned down more than one offer to buy him, and just studded him out for free for the second time . he is not a crusher, but more than once he has been in and on game before I could get my gear outta the truck. If he throws his nose and hunt drive in pups the owners will be happy with them.Will they sel the pups... maybe maybe not. Nothing wrong with it either way but when the $$$ bec
