the thing with terriers is you ve to keep bringing on the younger dogs as you never know the day you could loose a worker as the job has many hazards but still keep a number that means there getting steady work a fella with 4 terriers worked hard will have a better standaed of worker than say a fella with 15 terriers who only puts a small number of digs over each dog at the end of the day its actual work that makes a dog they learn feck all in a kennell !

How did you get into terrier work?
dee mac replied to marshman's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
used to tag along with older lads from village as youngesters me and the brother to be honest there was nothing else to do then during summer we d fish the local lakes then we started to be taken shooting with our father then got our own guns when we were old enough lucky for us dad encouraged us to hunt so any dogs we landed back with got a kennell it was like animal farm up our back the only rule was if any of the half doors we owned harmed one of the spaniels there would be trouble but it worked out alright ha ha and the rest is history -
lol down south the old grab them quick always brings a smile to my face we pick our dog thats to be worked at the pick up its then given a free run as we make our way towards the earths along with an old lurcher bitch that mate has she is a handy type does whats shes told and always there for a bolt but never trys to push into the dig etc now the number of times we ve got a dig from a unknown earth they have found on route to the earths we know may account for anything between 5 to 10 digs a year plus with the younger dogs it seems to help steady them up as they ve had a bit of time to run a

the eyes my not be connected as sand is very severe on an earth dogs eyes especially in older dogs with a lot of work over them even with cleaning etc straight after a dig the eyes are usually the first thing to start going south in an older working dog and can lead to retirement even tho the dog is in other wise perfect health !

muck boot comfy but you ll still end up with wet feet from sweating if your doing any amount of walking as someone says above spend the most you can afford as the more expensive boots the better the quality meindl dovre are a cracking boot mine going into forth season so works out about 55 quid a year so not expensive in the long run some cant see the wood for the trees !

as fat man says a bit of courtesy will difuse most situations along with an appology.at end of the day land is very valuable and the farmers depend on it for there lively hood and if they dont want hunting then thats end of matter no harm done but to to give cheek or to threaten anyone on there own property is a disgrace and give s the decent hunting lads a very bad image as fat man says manners are nt that hard to carry !

tell me vixen if you breed your borders for work and they only end up in the homes of the people you really want them to go too what purpose does the kc registration bring to the table it aint going to help them work it aint going to help keep tabs on the way there bred as you know that as your the one doing the breeding plus you could always note it down. so what is so good about kc registration that you feel the need to defend it and associate it with the dogs you breed as you ve staed in previous posts that you breed dogs with the intention of being able to work?

vixen tight and select from what i ve heard as long as the persons wallet is nt tight they can select any pup they want people in dogs for the working side only and im mean the genuine working dog man with work only in mind is not and never will be interested in kc so fcuk off to what ever hole you popped out off and give my head a bit of peace trying to defend the kennell club they never had and never will have the working interests of any of the breeds at heart its a money racket end of story so its matters nowt weather the odd kc registered dog does a bit off work or not kc has no place in
