even with all the bollocks in the world a man simply cannot stand watch every moment of his life.. he must leave his home sometime, i'd say just looking or not make an example out of the first fecker you catch. it is sheer disrespect to even view another man's terriers in his kennels without being invited first.

I'd say I agree with fatman, sit and wait with a good spade or pik handle, if they attempt to thief from you, come out of the shadows and split the first fecker's wig that you come into contact with.. the rest will slip in their own shite attempting to flee. after that they will know that your place is no place to be lifting terriers. if not, hell, make a sport of kicking their arses. I cant stand scum thiefs. if at all possible get any info on the scum you can so if in the future a terrier is lifted you will know where to start looking.

my mate has. he bred with intention that the bitch didn't work out he would just plug her and the whole litter. I personally want to see some worth first, but remember mate not all the pups in the litter will fill your expectations as I feel there is bad in every litters mate, thats why I feel they should be proven first, whos to say that you didnt breed the only bad one in the litter. just a waste of time as you will find not as many make the grade as some want you to believe

so is that your terrier in your avatar mate??

fatman you are correct or i feel, I'm not slagging or throwing shite around but, I feel any worker of any kind that can be called away from heated work, really doesn't want to be there working in the first place, or at least thats me opinion on the subject..

it really all depends on several factors mate... every terrier is different, and every handler/owner has their own expectations of what a brood worthy terriers should display before they breed.. some say 3 seasons, some 4, and some will breed the first heat (obvious wankers or peddlers).. but what if the terrier took so much stick in the first season it had to be retired due to the damage it recieved...get my point mate?? it all boils down to this question, "has my terrier shown its true worth, and am I satisfied with it's perfomance enough to breed?". because in the end mate, thats all that m
