Take em to a stream to get rid of the shit before you set off. When you get back rub a load of benzyl benzoate on the dog and let it dry on the coat under a lamp. I very rarely clean off a dog after work as they do a good job of cleaning themselves, but whenever it gets real dirty i just do the above.

How many working terrier are registred to the Kennel Club ?
rob284 replied to Blaise's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
Less that 1% would probably be overestimating it. -
Had a terrier that hated water, would walk miles on the other side of the river before it would find a crossing. Same bitch would drown itself to get at a fox ?.
-
That stamp of dog looks very familiar. Hows it bred?
-
So your one of the c**ts killing em. Ffs get the lurchers on some proper game, where they have to actually course.
-
some dogs are pure driven to hate others. No amount of training would change that because they thrive off of it, the key is to channel that drive towards work.
-
I find its best to walk your dog where nobody else walks. Then one day if you come across another dog, the dog will be socialised in a way that other dogs arent of interest because it has learnt to work the land whilst out exercising, not run around like a loon.

Kennels are a great way to remove the smell

Get her on the banjo ? theyll be fit then !
-
Even if you never go back at least you can say youve dug it. But i bet you do go back ?
-
Ideal size for me. Wouldnt want any smaller but wouldnt turn down bigger as ive seen bigger travel well enough.
-
Its not a case of preferring a small dog, its a case of the small dog cant physically do the job that some lads put in from of them. I like to see a small dog do well as it shows heart, but they just dont have the substance to do the job consistantly and comfortably over here.

Haha number of holes has no correlation with numbers in the area. Ive seen 5 emerge from a tiny 1 holer only several feet of tube. Yet theres plenty of extensive setts with many active holes that only have 1 in it. No hard and fast rule imo and ive never understood how they can be confident on there population estimates when the population varies so drastically from area to area.
-
Surely theres no harm in relocating in areas of sparse population, because given the opportunity they'll thrive anywhere. Has anyone ever noticed a successful relocation, where they come across the animal in the area that it was dropped? Always wondered if they actually stay, especially with entering others territories.
-
The beauty of terrierwork is that you have a choice. Let a good specimen go or cull the weak. That in my books, would be doing the population a favour.

Sure the hydraulic fitting would come loose if you didnt carry a set of spanners with you?
-
Never falls on a sunday ? or when you have a dog ready to go.
-
yeah snowing heavy here too. They seem to be on top when it snows though, unless theres a bitter wind to go with it. Which there is
-
They go above and beyond, Yeah on the price? . The sire looks a smart type. Imagine turning up to an appointment saying you want to use a pup for coursing. Youd get run out of the place!
-
Looks well put together but its worth putting some foot plates on if you can ?
-
Its definitely not the silver bullet. The highest rates of tb are also in the area with highest deer populations. It'll be nice to know theyve stopped culling them as some areas are untouched whilst others are nearly depleted of them.

Found a brand new nissan car charger and a load of sat navs stuffed up an entrance to an earth. Handy find!
-
Not heard about the long handle one. Funnily enough, yesterday i said i was gunna make one if i couldnt buy one, after struggling with the short one yesterday. Do you know how much it is?
-
Feed him a large chuck of frozen meat. Thatll make him chew, better than that stuff your giving him now.
-
What you feeding him?
