Where does one start with earth work
ollywilli replied to ollywilli's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
Thank you, does it matter that she has a full (non docked tail) -
I have been thinking of getting into earth work and i have been curious about it for a while now, possibly natural progression from rabbiting, ferreting, ratting etc etc, but where do I start. I do have a JRT but with a full tail which is spot on nose on rats and rabbits, I am starting to knit some nets, and I will be getting the mark three locator (or so I am told) for a wedding present for ferreting whihc I under stand can be used for terrier work. Can any one offer any advice or suggestions at all?

Does any one on here use jrt's for earth work of so I'd live to heard a bit more about them how they work and what the dogs/bitch is like?
-
Brill thanks I will get some knitted up in a few different sizes. Thank you ever so much

Looking good. I got two made like that then nige has not got the green stuff in stock yet so had to make them solid. But they will still work.
-
That is scary that. Hope the dogs make a full recovery. But it could have been all of you!
-
Ok gate nets at set like poke nets at the width of the gate using about a 3 inch mesh board. But hare long nets what mesh board and how many meshed deep and what twine would you use ?
-
Where would you suggest getting them from? Does nige (aguoti) still do them?
-
Ut I thought short legged jrt were originally bread for gound work??

I am thinking about making a ferret court up for my current 7 ferrets. I am debating how big to make it and what to make it out of and where and if I should attach it on to a dog kennel, which I am also planning. has any one got any pictures or ideas of their own. They ferrets are currently in hutches but I believe they may be fitter in a court with tubes etc. Oliver

Just been thinking recently about my lurcher who has only be working on rabbits and is 18 months old and coming on well now. I have been wondering if I introduce him to rats, will this effect on how he works on rabbits? or can lurcher work rats one day and kill them there and then and rabbits the next day the retrieve them ok? Any help or suggestions
-
Yeah may be of some interest
-
Super thanks lads. How much of a sleeping are would you recommend?
-
I would agreed with above, if I did the same in my job I would be in the *****. I have a copy of the relevant part of the hunting with dogs act in my wallet so if the instance occured I could produce it when I am tackled to put the "professionals" in their place. In my job as a building inspector you don't go spouting off rubbish of what you think is right, only the facts and if your not sure you find out first.. Imo Good luck with it, if your lad carries a copy of that part of the act it may help in the future.

Or try agouti. He makes all kinds of nets

Hi. I am lookign for a bit of advice on what size kennel and run to make for potential dogs. Mostly probably terriers but the possability of lurchers too. I am unsure whether to make one large one or smaller ones or a large one which can be divided up. I know the thought as big as you can but what minimum size would you say. Any help would be greatly appreciated . Regards Oliver
