Kane 2 Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 I asked a question in a thread about the sizes required in a terrier to do a decent days work.I asked this question because I had a small terrier bitch from good breeding and showing all the right signs.Well today I made up my mind she was to small,she was keen enough firing into quarry the lurcher had bought down keen enough to make me happy,but,keen enough for me to realise it would not be fair to work such a small bitch.It would give me no satisfaction to see a little bitch badly hurt ,so she goes to a home where a bit of rating and bushing perhaps an occasional bolt ,but no more.There is hopefully a pup on the way from a friend,it leaves me with less dogs than I have had in years.

J Darcy 5,871 Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Kane, what makes you think she would be badley hurt?...what if she is an out and out bayer?..... :ph34r: that statement puzzled me somewhat....JD Quote Link to post
Kane 2 Posted May 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 JDarcy,I know the line of terriers I know how they work.The last mating was probably a bit tight resulting in the bitch not making it up to size.If I thought she would be an out and out bayer I might give her the benefit of the doubt but she wont be.Taffys bitch has the same sire as mine,I think he wishes his would bay a little bit more.

pickaxe 23 Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 They can never be too small. only too big Just my opinion''' Duz <{POST_SNAPBACK}> my opinion, they can be both, if there to big to get, there to big , and if there to small to hold there to small just my opinion this answers the question of weather a dog can be to hard ???

Kane 2 Posted May 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Duzabit,your entitled to your opinion as much as anybody,This isnt a case of size or hardness but more a bit of both.To small to be hard .I personaly would take no pleasure in trying to put the bitch back together after a decent dig and definatly no pleasure in burying her.I prefer a large game terrier thats big enough and ugly enough to look after themselves.

Any more sermons? Quote Link to post
socks 32,253 Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 potter you keep making these nonsence statements about dogs working VIOLENTLY .... dogs do not pocess violent traits thats left to humans ... i think you are getting confused with hardness ...... Quote Link to post
