atuddy 179 Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 my best digging dog was a bitch (sticky Vicky) we used to call her because she would stick to her quarry like glue you would have to DIG her out not call her out Quote Link to post
Guest digbert Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 IV ONLY HAD GOOD DOG MYSELF ! MY MATES HAVE BITCHES THEY ARE NOT UP TO SCRATCH .HARD TO FIND A GOODEN. I dont understand.... why would anyone keep a bitch that wasnt up to scratch? Theres something very wrong here! And im talking digging dogs only, not including the bolting types which some keep, as they are not expected to stay, and some can be called off. (true, they have their uses, but they are really a failed earthdog in my eyes) I expect the same from both, if I cant dig to the terrier, dog or bitch, it aint a digging dog, and should be put to sleep, or put into a trusted pet home. Theres obviously some crap being bred from terriers that walk from their quarry, and this is no good at all. The only possible exeptions id make with a digging terrier, is for a very small terrier (dog or bitch) as they can sometimes be bullied about too much by very fiery quarry, these wee ones work well enough if their sounders, and if they have the heart for the job, they will make back what ground they loose. a dog you can shout out is a failed digging dog, i have an old bitch 13 years old ive dug hundreds with her, i use her in the rock piles aswell, and yes i can shout her out how does that make her a failed digging dog, i still dig her now and she doesent let me down, ive put her in the worst places you can imagen, Quote Link to post
consett lad 43 Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 my pal has got a patterdale bitch and she is as game as any dog i have ever dug to if not gamer. A cracking little bitch Quote Link to post
Chancer 23 Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 must admit to the topic youl probably find out youl get 5 decent dogs to a decent bitch. decent bitches are hard to come by. if you hve seen any decent bitch work i would advise you to get you name down for a pup, but only if the right dog is used over her . good digging bitches are very hard to come by fella yis chancer Quote Link to post

F.R. 2 Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 I don't know who wrote this but have seen this multiple times. I'll just paste it below and people can take it or leave it, interesting though... "Q: Can anyone please tell me how the pups get more dna from the mom than the dad? My limited understanding is that dna is 50/50. Being that the egg and the sperm are a single cell that join and then split. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A: The short answer is some of the DNA from the sperm is destroyed and more is lost, while all of it from the egg is passed on. Just so you don't feel robbed by such a short answer with no explanation, here is the long answer: While the chromosome DNA of an animal cell derives from both parents, the mitochondrial DNA comes entirely from the mother. Not only is more DNA contributed by the mother, the contribution from the mother is also more significant due to the fact that mitochondrial DNA (that only comes from the mother) is a copy of itself rather than a combination of the male and female DNA, like that of the other chromosomal DNA contributed by both parents. I'll explain this. Unlike nuclear DNA, which is inherited from both the male and female dog and in which genes are rearranged in the process known as recombination, there is usually no change in mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) from mother to offspring. Although mtDNA also recombines, it does so with copies of itself within the same mitochondrion. So, basically the nuclear DNA from both parents is shuffled up and recombined in random order. This is why puppies from a litter are not exactly alike. This DNA recombines differently for each puppy. The mitochondrial DNA not only comes from only the mother but it is basically copied as is (with the exception of mutations which happen when there is an error in the copy), so this makes the contribution of DNA from the mother even more significant because it is not randomly reorganized like the nuclear DNA contributed from both parents. This is why ancestral relation can be traced so easily down the female line (passed from female to female to female), but not easily through the fathers. A male or female puppies mitochondrial DNA should be nearly identical (with the exception of mutations) to a female located 5 generations back on the very bottom line of the pedigree. Using dog examples, my JT Applepieorder should have nearly identical mitochondrial DNA to the great brood Westmead Move who is located 5 generations back on the bottom line of her pedigree. The male and female puppies in JT Applepieorders litter, so her and her littermates, would all have this virtually identical mtDNA, but only her and her sisters can pass it on. Her brothers puppies would get it from their mother only. The nuclear DNA of JT Applepieorder on the other hand would be provided from both her father WW AppleJax and her mother Hyperfeet. It would however not match either but would be a shuffled combination of their DNA. If you are wondering why the mitochondrial DNA only comes from the female dog, then let me make a nerd out of myself further. In sexually reproducing organisms, mitochondria are normally inherited exclusively from the mother. The mitochondria in mammalian sperm are usually destroyed by the egg cell after fertilization. Also, most mitochondria are present at the base of the sperm's tail, which is used for propelling the sperm cells. Sometimes the tail is lost during fertilization. Paternal sperm mitochondria (containing mtDNA or mitochondrial DNA) are marked with something called ubiquitin to select them for later destruction inside the embryo. This is a bit of the science behind why people always say that the brood is more important than the stud. There is a reason for that and what I have described is the reason. I understand some of that may be clear as mud, but hopefully you get the idea somewhat. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I might not have an answer, but I will try my best."

alimac 882 Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 DnN i quote your .....And im talking digging dogs only, not including the bolting types which some keep, as they are not expected to stay, and some can be called off. (true, they have their uses, but they are really a failed earthdog in my eyes) Whats a failed earth dog? one that can be called off or a bolter ?? Neaps could be called off, but wouldnt leave it unless i shouted her out, and she was far from a failed earth dog (or bitch as it happens)And bolters as im sure you should know are worth there weight in gold in the right places and at the right times..
