  1. lovely strong bitch nice too see atb
  2. no it wasnt a terrier for every 10 foxs because i dont hunt fox dont get me wrong i wouldnt pass a fox hole but they are not my main quarry that make it a bit clearer for u ftb dont you think you mite be doing somethink wrong to lose 5 to ground. doing nothing wrong sir didnt say lost 5 to ground said lost 5 dogs this season didnt say were why or how people just persume the worst hope the young ones come on next season for you atb
  3. for me black patterdales cause not done bad with them but good and bad in them all a lad who digs wiyh us has a couple of exellent russels but i prefer black uns just my preference
  4. nice dogs hope they do well atb
  5. sounds like shes doing really well atb
  6. Pre-ban a bitch that only worked fox would not be kept in my experience, Some of these bitches (and dogs) would be handed down to hunt terrier men. If they bred from these bitches it was for there own use. They had no problem using baying/bolting terriers. To say that these men weakened the terriers we have today might be overstating things. There were 2 grades of terrier for 2 types of quarry. I agree with Fat man that badger dogs were kept away from fox. I have seen several occasions where a small earth stinking of fox would be skipped over. We were after different quarry and would n

  8. they would work anything mate but the fact is they where big strong dogs and i said earlier nearly lost one to a fox not due to the dog but to the size he probally took constant strikes just digging to get to it so its not the case they couldnt deal with it plus like you say wasnt looking for them
  9. i dont agree fat man too many people under estimate the fox its easy enough to get a dog to work a fox on ten or twelve digs in the season but you push them and work them to foxs a few times a a week and when at xmas the foxs are in full health they can soon sort the wheat from the chaff just my opinion ive seen many a good dog finished by a fox Like Fat Man I have dug both and I never under estimated anything under ground.But my friend consistent badger digging is light years away from digging foxes.If a half deasent dog can get to his fox he should be able to mix it and kill him no mat

  12. nice kooking pup mate cracking head on him atb
  13. not saying lines are not important obviously there vital just saying workers only wouldnt dream of lining a dog i didnt know where it came from no matter how good
  14. spot on moddey-doo, and remember stay clear of the website peddlers. I dont think I have ever seen a real worker come from any website kennel here in the states, just a bunch of money hungry peddlers...all the best...and if there was a particular line that was the best, we would all own terriers from it. depends on your individual needs.. So what does the different types of patterdale bring to the table then , Pros and Cons? like the lads above are saying forget big names worker to worker only
  15. nice strong looking dogs mate hope they go well atb
  16. agree with alot of what you are saying there dug before locator boxs myself and a dog that doesnt sound isnt ideal but to get rid of dog for being to hard would be crazy even nowadays and agree wouldnt breed off him wouldnt want a kennel full of them
  17. i have a hard dog at home he s never bayed once couldnt put him in without collar on could only work him once every 5 to 6 weeks not ideal but comes in handy from time to time
  18. rather have dog lot easier to get going and stronger
  19. LITTLE CRACKER nice looking dog mate not seen one like that for a while good dog from comments nice to see just black and tans up are end
  20. stripped my patts out couple of weeks ago weathers a lot milder now should be sound
  21. its the same everywhere its not hard to backfill properly and close the gates you use not rocket science people wonder why they lose permisson ha ha
