White feet one of the great advantages of a public forum is that we can share experiences, knowledge etc and all learn summat in the process, I reckon you should clarify your post mate, I am sure we are all able to consider your views non judgementally and then draw our own conclusions?? What are you thinking scouring pups stomachs??? Diahorrea???

lol you really need to speak your mind fd, just say it as it is lol

is that brown dog in your avater a beddy cross topper ? nice looking dog.

eh !!! so how do you know its never made any difference if youve never done it ??lol i think i know what you mean?? tubes get opened backout anyway without bridging? i agree with that in the main, but i have defo known more than one earth ruined by too many holes in em backfilled to numerous tubes, which then go dead, sometimes lost for good. would they have had more chance if they had been bridged and left less blocked solid??? who knows ????

I know several experienced lads who swear by bridging , or backfilling in a way to keep the tube open, in order to keep a sett live, the first person who advised me to do it being BN. But I must admit I am often too lazy !!!

I must be fortunate then as my Beddys are line bred and ive yet to produce an arse wipe. More power to your elbow Morton, dogs bred for purpose and working out, result. Any chance of any pics of the hybrids?? Got me intrigued now! Atb

Absolutely pl, and we all have to start somewhere , I am certainly guilty, but with mistakes, a bit of experience , and hopefully we learn. personally speaking, if the lad has a 2 season bitch who's only fault is its too hard, I reckon he's off to a pretty good start! But to answer the lads query, no I would not put an unproven dog over her, no matter how he's bred. I would listen to fd and see the breeder of the bitch? paper breeding is the fastest way to lose quality IMO? Anyway atb to the lad in whatever he decides.

In my opinion, the best post seen so far on breeding quality terriers I have seen on thl . Combine this with breeding inside a line/ strain and hard to beat as a success formula IMO.

Hi lads, just after picking your brains really, have you noticed a correlation between easy to enter pups and good performing dogs ie have you noticed that the best dogs you have owned/seen were very easy to enter/self entered or would you say no correlation?? Myself I have not seen enough to accurately draw a conclusion ??

i personally agree with both of you! i have owned and seen dogs which were slow to start and made proper digging tools, and i have also seen and owned dogs which self entered at an early age, no drama or fuss, just as fd describes. maybe its down to the strain or line of dog??? imo pups that self enter are a possible indication of a well bred terrier from a good strain? and terriermen that seem to be able to get most dogs going are just good knowledgeable dog men?

Massive thumbs up to taz from me. True gent for that offer.

I was just thinking exactly the same dd......unfortunately with terriers things like that do happen !

lol pukey lol, wonder what pukeys gonna make foxdropper into lol

I know, I can't stop logging on to check the latest lol Even when coronation streets on lol...fxck it ...it's better than Coronation street I reckon fd should upload his Facebook pic and we can all try and guess his age , all in good jest likesay lol I imagine him as looking like John Wayne....lol... Naaw listen here son am Gunnar tell you how it is, and if you've got any disagreements well you can let those guns of yours do there talkin...lol. But without his input would not be anywhere near as entertaining. Keep it up lads, fxckin great read.

Lol don't worry fd, I think you have him beaten on that front lol..... [BANNED TEXT] a site,lol...fxckin brill lol!!,
