danny dolman 4 Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 went for a stroll with my jack russell and my mate who had his collie/greyhound( hancock dog). Terrier was bushing rabbits through the edges out for the lurcher. On the opposite field is a childrens farm were they keep a range of animals. I kept walking up the field and shouted the terrier but he didnt return , next thing i hear a a loud sqealing noise. I ran into the field to find my dog grappling with a huge pig which was trampling the f#ck outta the terrier. After a minute or so he let go only to latch onto its lower lip causing the pig to start bleeding. i eventually managed to rip him off it and had to apologize to the farmer and pay a vet bill. The terrier is a big , strong looking russell and will kill anything but is ok with other farm animals like sheep , cows and horses. Any ideas as to why he attacked the pig? ATB Quote Link to post

danny dolman 4 Posted July 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 no bother mayte dont think hes ever seen a pig before so he may have got a shock and reacted his usual way and tried to kill it. Quote Link to post

Alli 923 Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 i have a few terriers, one of my bitches is 100% stock broke as all are by adult age, this particular bitch is very quiet until she sees or smells a pig, twice ive seperated her from pigs. now i just dont take chances shes on the couplings, strange, but i cant break her to them.

forest of dean redneck 11,609 Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 theres something about the wild ones here that sets dogs off even pet owners in the village that walk the woods notice their dogs go offkey on the scent. Quote Link to post
