terriers first red one


Recommended Posts

i was out walking yesterday trying to keep the rooks off a couple of seeded fields. i,d shot a couple of rooks and a pigeon then sat down for a drink,suddenly my terrier puffed himself up and went nice and stiff,i could,nt see what he,d spotted, then a fox ran straight across the field infront of us.My terrier has never met a fox before, he,s been ratting and stuff but as he,s only 13 months i,ve held him back till he,s nice and grown.,Well i shot the fox(as it was heading for our phesant pens) and the terrier screamed up the field and nailed it like it had really p*ssed him off,if i had,nt killed it with the shot gun it would,nt have lasted long.

i think perhaps there,s something in a foxes sent that tell our terrier,s that they must stop moving as indeed rats aswell. i thought his first encouter would have made him sniff it first or atleast hesitate a bit.Not this dog he went full bore straight for its neck 000_0525.jpg000_0520.jpgand im dead proud.

the terrier is patterdale x lakeland border his bloods been hunting(when it was legal) for 25 years there abouts i had to wait a couple of years to get the pup out of the dame and sire i wanted.

Millet the fox was about 20 yards away when i shot it it was going to die, i hit it with a 54 gram AAA cartridge.

How old is it i can`t believe he`s stood so nicely and calm next to it all my pups i`ve ever had would be pulling it apart only time they stop is when you hang it up a tree and even then they try to climb up to get it smart type of dog though :)

he,s 14 months old and i,ve been working him as such since he was about 6 months.

im a single man i live on my own its just me and the terrier all day everyday, when i say "dead" he leaves until i say otherwise, my little dog just loves to please me so he was,nt that hard to train, but belive me if he thinks my back is turned he,ll do anything, anytime,and he does`nt really listen to anyone but me.

besides we are usually ratting or rabbiting so when one,s dead we move to the next so he,s used to killing and leaving once its stopped moving!
