Topper I couldn't take you seriously once you mentioned Staley, I've done more digging in my back garden, the man's a fool and you'd be wise not to listen to fanciful shite

Where To Get A Sharptooth?
dillydog replied to lurcher666phil's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
I'd of bollocked you up and down for that scruffy hole ? -
I like them to enter earth work at about 12-14 month old, I started one off this season at nine months. Not my usual habits but she wanted it and everything was in her favour, that and she's got nothing but idiot hard dogs behind her. I personally think people expect to much, to quickly, there's a massive difference between starting and working. What I mean by that is just because you've dug a fox out of an extended rabbit hole once don't expect the same terrier to find in a massive disused badger sett. It's all about hours in the classroom and reading your terrier, you've got to know if

Breeding At 8 Years Old.
dillydog replied to Beastmaster1980's topic in Working Dog Health & Training Talk
A calculated risk, at the end of the day it's a personal choice, the bitch was fit and well so I went for it. It's the only time I've had to have a C section with this bitch, it didn't break the bank at £150 so I'm not complaining. -

New Midleton Lakeland Book
dillydog replied to Coursing mad 24's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
I got lost in the terrible writing of the first book, it seemed to go around in circles and in much the same way as you described the second, it didn't make sense -
You can't judge a line by one dog, you can't judge a dog by one day. I've never seen one in the ground but they're certainly way to big for me, you'd need three or four hands to span them lol

Young Pup Needing Bringing On..
dillydog replied to Mickle123's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
Some are gagging for work at 12 months and under, some aren't ready mentally until just shy of 2 years old. Even when they're started it doesn't mean you can throw work at them, you've still got to hold them back or find the right sort of earth's for their ability. Some thrive off more work, some thrive off a more steady approach, welcome to the headache of the working terrier world. -

dillydog replied to Mickle123's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
Yes I appreciate your reply but I don't know if she is any good as havnt tried her I've only shown her a couple of holes with a little interest but nothing major as I don't think she understands what's in them or what to do with them as she like I said she had seen nothing. That's why I'm asking on here if anyone could help me out if they have any local digs to me which could help her progress? Nope Im not having it, This its a wined up. Let the pup be a pup shes 8 months old ffs, you should be waiting at least another 8 months before even thinking of entering her into an occupied earth, a -

The same bitch after her first fox, it's not rocket science, it's like shelling peas mate. The thing that's totally out of your control is what happens once your pup see's the sharp end, by hole ending you're going down the "shit or bust" route . -

It's not about forcing anything to do anything, even if it was desperate to get in I still wouldn't let it walk on to teeth. Most youngsters out of curiosity would have a look, but without them knowing what is about to happen it's like sending the innocent to slaughter. Hole ending is baiting a captive animal, apart from being illegal it's just plain stupid. Find a dead fox on the road, ask someone else to get you one, it doesn't matter if it's shot or a road accident victim. All your pup needs to know is it's fun to play with and it'll remember that smell next time out, if it's bred rig -

Not even if Brian Plummer did it ?

They were decent but didn't like it if you loaded the work, a weekend worrier would get one through a lifetime's work and be more than happy. That young boy is my eldest, he's now 29 years old, on the plus side I'm still digging in the area lol.

I had a litter many years ago out of a Lakeland bitch to a black Un from the Midlands, she produced 5 black and white, one black bitch and one black and tan Lakeland type. I called them russell , Lakelands and Patterdales, in exactly the same way as Bosun. One of the black and white ones

I've had them kill them at 12 weeks old, that's waaaaay back in the day when I was reading Brian Plummer books books lol These days I let a pup mature a little bit more and at least get it's second teeth !

As soon as the bitch stops staining she should stand, there's no hard and fast rules with females of any kind mate, she'll stand when she's ready.

I don't even bother taking them anymore King, not because of the feedback on here, I just want a quiet life.
