jpnixon 7 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 The way I see it is that there are dogs that bolt to guns but IMO the lads that keep them arent terrier men they like shooting. Then you have dogs that will stay to the end, the end being dug out the lads that keep them are terriermen thats just the way I see. Now i know there are lads that posted on this topic that only bolt so dont take offence because if you like to see you terrier work and then dig to him then IMO that makes you a terrierman not a shooter. At the end of a dig with a fox I like to lift him out and give him a fair run for his money with the lurcher, i.e I like to give him a slip that way you get the best from a dig, but thats just me.

chezney 44 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 i agree a hard dog is needed in some places but the keepers round here want to see the dead fox.they would nt be pleased with us telling him the terrier had killed it.a hard dog spends half the season in the sick bay,does it not.where as a bayer that will stay till dug,if need be can be used more often. by this statement are you trying to say that hard dogs dont stay if the dog got the heart it will stay ive had a dog that went in and crash bang for a hour and come away i wouldnt call this a hard dog a hard dog should stick to it like any other type of working terrier what i mean boys is if there is a fox to ground in rock piles or undiggable,i would prefer the fox to bolt for the keepers.than hope the hard fox had killed it.hope thats planer. i m confused now. i know what you mean goldfinch.obviously getting all the know it all answers from mere boys.be nice to get some responsible replies from some proper terrier boys.i know they are on here,ive had them out with me enough.you know who you are so come on lads!! rod are you having crack at me i may of read wrong as it seemed as if goldfinch was saying hard dogs dont stick there wasnt a mention of rock piles in the first post i seen who in thier right mind would drop any type of dog that will stick in a undiggable place. im no know it all im a lad thats out abit digging to dogs regular Quote Link to post
