david2363 42 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 My Bedlington dog sounds like the Hound of the Baskervilles when he's onto something - but only if he has it in sight. My little black bitch yips when she's on a hot scent, and changes to a more shrill yap when she see it. Her sounding in cover is actually proving to be more of an asset than a hinderence.

cúagusgiorraí 57 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 (edited) a Teckel, but now he is a hound that does the job of a terrier, not exactly a terrier... Jack russells will sound in cover sometimes. Edited April 9, 2010 by cúagusgiorraà Quote Link to post
Nell 1 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 If you work cover with terriers on a regular basis then a terrier that yaps is a must! Anything mute would be rendered useless, for this particular job anyway . My 2 will wimper when on a fresh scent then scream when in sight of something. It pays to have a lurcher which is experienced working with terriers Quote Link to post
sounder79 80 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 most russels will yap away in the cover once they know what there at,the more the better,you dont know what the silent types are up to most of the time. Quote Link to post
Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 .... It pays to have a lurcher which is experienced working with terriers A pal of mine has two BeddyxGrey/Whippet's, that he has work along side the terriers bushing, and they know their job inside out, it's an absolute pleasure to watch them work.

I just lost one of the best dogs I have seen work cover with terriers, always in the right place at the right time, rarely missed old red slinking out, like you say a pleasure to watch, just need to raise another like him now.
