oyama 27 Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Ah so thats why Sumo did'nt come out today.Well done lads Quote Link to post
dillan 19 Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Knew someone would ask that question Hywel. In all honestly I only saw 2 minor incidents and that involved one of my terriers, a dog of 14 months old, he has worked with my own pack with no problems to date so I could only assume he was overwhelmed with that many terriers around him 26 in total, however he was put in his place very quickly by myself, we wont tollerate it as it can upset the whole pack. When one is digging onto a rat and another terrier sticks his nose in you will hear the odd grumble and you just difuse the situation. Its a question of keeping the whole pack busy and watching the body language. If a terrier is persistant we box him up and try him later. There are plenty of bodies around to manage this.
