higgins 75 Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 it's 100 % if it does the job right for you,after all it's a subjective viewpoint,and different terriers for different jobs for different outcomes, Higgins. Quote Link to post
Cleanspade 3,322 Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 very good question scent. but answers will vary alot. some lads will be lucky enough to start off digging with good lad who'll teach em how to enter a young dog and will put them straight when buying a pup. some lads will learn as they go and ruin agood terriers on the way and buy shit stock on the way...... 100% digging dog. never owned one. allthough ive had one or two decent dogs Quote Link to post

The way that terrier work is looked on now it must be hard to find good blood for the beginers but they got to persevere if they can.hope this advice works for you!! Quote Link to post
lonedigga 22 Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Depends on what you call 100% i suppose,I've had a few decent dogs over the years and a couple that i've been confident that when they went to ground that the quarry was in the bag,but even these failed to get a result at some point in their careers.IF A 100% earthdog is one that's NEVER failed then i've not had one yet and haven't seen one either.Theres too many variables in this game to use the term 100% freely.

scent 509 Posted December 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 iv had my fair share of bad luck the last few year myself.I started off buying so called well bred pups that were really off shit that i later learned.I had a few digs with them but they walked when the goin got tough.At the moment iv another 2 well bred pups here ,one of which is a russell bitch and a pattxrussell that i got off kevin m .Even the working bitch i have here at the moment is on a yellow card.Just seems like a never ending cycle to try get a right good dog or bitch.Sometimes i feel like bashing me head off a wall Quote Link to post
