  1. I'm not saying that at all Glyn, what I'm saying is that you can have terriers that live to work, that are driven to work and come hell or high water they'll stay no matter what. Then on the flip side and no lesser of a dog you'll have the intelligent dog that wants to please you and works with you to get the job done. I've still got the two litter brothers here that I showed you by message, ones not wired up right, intelligent and biddable but still not right once he's switched on. The other brother is steady as a rock, very biddable and a pleasure to own, he's the dog I dug through roc
  2. No two dogs are the same, I've had some that work for themselves, mainly dog rather than bitches. I was once sent a dog that was way to hard for a well know terrier man from down south. The dog was dug to on the morning he landed and he was just as daft as I'd been told, although he'd got away with it on this occasion. When I got back to the kennels (you'll know the place Glyn) he got into it with my lurcher, long story short he ran off and went to ground in a big badger sett at the top of the field. This place is right on a footpath, no chance I could of quickly had him out, no harm done.
  3. I had this just before dark a few days ago, it was over and hour before I even started as I was waiting for reinforcements lol. The dog sat and worked the quarry nice and steady but had no idea if I was still there, I've seen plenty over the years that would walk just to see if you were still there !
  4. The difference with small places and shallow places is the dog in question knows the cavalry is on the way. One of the first things I was taught by the old boys around me is if you want a dog out sooner rather than later is to walk away and be quiet. The dog that stays and does the job through to the end when he can't sense you one way or the other is by far the better animal.
  5. What sort of price would those run to ?
  6. Not me ABC, and as quoted we didn't break through, it was solid rock as you can see by the lump we'd smashed off behind my mate. We'd already bollocked the lurcher for going to ground but never in a million years did we expect him to draw the pair out
  7. Tug, never broke through, the lurcher ended up drawing the pair of them without my knowledge or consent
  8. Tod mate, I've only got one picture of Tug I think, he's got his all weather lead on ?
  9. Only two here that are rough coated, Trouble and Tim, the rest look smooth but they've got depth to their coats
  10. Rough but I live in hope he'll steady up
  11. A bedlington, dble bred Rambo.. All it was good for
  12. I get that DS but I assumed you were talking about the affects of not having the dam around, the socialisation of the pups by their mother.
  13. You boys either think to much or I'm not seeing enough, I hope I never have to bottle feed anymore pups again, but if I do I'll keep you posted
  14. I had quite a few of them RS, again, some where curs, some ran well and beat the stags hands down, one in particular came to meet the stags. I was well looked after out there and I met some real gentlemen, good people, good hunting.
  15. Possum and Coon, I couldn't find a north American badger. The coons are in silly numbers in certain areas, the possum your grannies yorkie could sort out lol. The coons are a good substitute for the fox IMO, you get some with more grit than others but with the amount we caught the dogs took plenty of trade. The badgers are nomadic, they'll clean dozens of earth's out and flit between them all, they're constantly on the move. I ran the coyotes and dug a few coon, the bulk of the coon came from barns, plenty of fun but it's not the same a's moving soil.
  16. There's no coons in this country RS, well not the right ones anyway ?, no one will have any experience mate. I had a few weeks out there hunting coons, the lads used a pea sized drop of horse wormer after every days hunting. The wormer contained ivomec, they said it stopped the parasites that caused the paralysis ? A word of warning though, I learned the hard way not to use the stuff, I gave half the amount to twice the terrier and it went blind for two days ! I took him straight to the vets, he told me it was the ivomectin that had affected him neurologically. There was no si
  17. IMO I wouldn't and couldn't see any problems with bottle reared pups, they don't know they're bottle fed, they'd just be happy to be full. I've bottle fed pups, I've seen no problems at all, as long as you've socialised then all should be fine.
  18. The skin problems are shared equally between the blacks and the chocs, the chocolate colour is just a diluted black. http://www.doggenetics.co.uk/dilutes.html
  19. I've had terriers from this line that would grow a new leg if needed, I've had terriers that didn't or couldn't heal from a small knick. They're a mixture of this an that, it's upto the lads that keep them to better them or finish them. I've only recently come across the elongated soft pallet, as stated it's easily sorted with fitness levels.
  20. The Toby dog I started out with was from a brother sister mating, Choker and Mo, he was undershot, it was in there from the beginning. He opened my eyes to what sort of a standard can be achieved, I didn't care then about his mouth and I don't care now. I don't like to see it, but it's not the end of the world, given a choice of pups I'll always take the one that's not undershot all things being equal. I've had pups with the correct scissor bite go wrong as they drop their first teeth and visa versa. I've had them born correct, go wrong and then strangely come right within a f
  21. Yes and yes, you've got Stevens blood in your terriers FD , they all carry undershot blood
  22. Or do what all the other fuckwits who want nothing but death and glory do and find a AC dog
  23. That's the best answer so far, kick it into the long grass where it belongs, this site and many like it have done untold damage as it is.............I'm only here to keep my eye on you dumb fucks
