16month old pat

[dixcy 0]

Hello folk,

I have a 16 month old patterdale bitch which wont stay too ground,she comes out after 10 or 15 mins sees me and goes back in.

She has only been to ground 5 or 6 times,

Should i hold on to her until next year and try her again,or send her on her way ?

How many chances do ye give them?

I new at this lark.

Does she bolt the quarry?

Does she ever make contact or bay?

Have you dug to her?

Cheers FTB

Do u know there is somethin to ground? Have u tried an experience terrier in earths she out from?

I tried her in a few shallow earths at first nothing,so i got a bit impatient and let her into a few big earths that i knew was holding,

she sat back and bayed,no contact.

When she goes back down she does the same.

Im surprised at this little dog.

i was getting rid of a 17 mth old bitch a few weeks ago she changing my mind 4 me last few times out

Leave her another season pal,give her the chance when i was in my late teens early 20s it would of been down the road, but ive had it twice now in terriers ive bred both of a similar age and there siblings took to it straight away so i was puzzled to this,i left the 1st bitch another 5 months tried her again she turned out a fair bitch, the second dog i had do this occured with a 15mths old dog i left him till he was 2 year old and tried him again and it was the best choice ive ever made hes an absolute corker 110% dog hes now pushing on past 4 and i would not part with the dog for anything hes never failed and had some real tough digs with him.If it still aint going at past 2 i would give it to a pet home on condition it was done and coundnt reproduce

some good advice there pal, well apart from one, ffs, put it away till next season then make your own mind up with it, atb with it pal

[nuggett 58]

yea give it another season feed it kennel it all summer and have same prob next season pink head only fucks about with rat and rabbits no point kidding your self if its going in and finding thats the hardest part weather its 20 holes or 2 holes if she keeps comeing out and going back to the same spot and not staying i wouldnt keep her you keep giveing them chances you have a keenel full of shit

Nugget is as Nugget does. :laugh:

 

Some lads dont even show anything until 18 months - 2 years.

 

I bet you force them down and keep your foot on the entrance.

 

Up to you lad, but persevere , or just get rid at every obstacle.

[hedz31 1,308]

Its all part of the game though aint it nugget, i would of done the same as you when i was younger its worth the chance it might come good it might not its not like its gonna cost a fortune to feed in the summer for 1 terrier is it and all the other terriers will be laid up in the summer anyway, i am just putting my opinion from past experience i could of got rid of the dog and bitch that did it to me and they both turned out good workers infact 1 of them turned out a corker so its a gamble ive just learned not to throw the towel in with a dog over a fall at the 1st hurdle

[Guest AngelicAcid]

Live and learn.

Keep at the pup, let us know what the outcome is, hope it turns good antway.
