jake824 517 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 at what age would you call your terrier proven. It is not question of age. How many times do you use? Maybe an old dog hasn't seen as many game as the other young one. would you say it also depends on terrain, earths ect.plus all game are different as regards to how they react to a terrier to ground so which is the better dog the dog dug to many times but easy spots or one that does well when the odds are not in its favour quality first not the number of digs imo and its only a opinion so nobody throw the dummy out a proven dog should nt be worked in only easy spots. the dog should have worked consistenly and i mean being dug twice three times a week or more in all types of earths be it half hour or 5 hours .if he stays and tries his heart out to not let the quarry past him or if it does get by him he works it again and puts it in a stop and still stays till dug to how ever long it takes. if he would die in the ground before throwing the towel in and does this for 5 seasons then in my eyes he s proven dog. does nt mean he ll throw good pups though lol think you just described what i.ve been trying to find have you any spare lol no not spare mate.if they re good they stay for life if they re not so good ,well they go to a special place Quote Link to post
