KittleRox 2,147 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 People get funny about it and yes i'd rather the dog marked by having a sniff, or as some do by freezing and staring. Terriers are prone to digging and that aint great, but you take what you get. You dont teach a dog a marking style, it just does what it does. I don't think what you 'want' comes into it. And we take out a dog that marks by sticking her head down the hole, breathing like an asthmatic and wagging her tail - and the rabbits bolt just fine. People worry too much. Contradict yourself there a bit mate,you make your point about terriers,so wouldn,t he be better off getting another type to "get what he wants" eg collie type He might not get what he wants but would greatly increase his chances,horses for courses No messing jmo Sorry mate i think you misunderstand. We were talking lurchers. I mentioned that terriers are pretty likely to dig which isn't great but with lurchers you never can tell, it's down to the dog. The dog in question is a collie x like megpshyco says Sorry I don,t think I misunderstood,surely if you want a lurcher which marks this way,you would buy,breed the type with the desired trait,it may not work but your chances would be increased,also I wasn,t talking about "the dog in question" I was speaking generaly However my sal/grey marks the same way as my collie type so maybe I am talking pish Quote Link to post

The one 8,475 Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 'roxy' timestamp='1294855712' post='1872241'] another a bit better Thats all mine does moves out the way to let you set a net then moves over the burrow with the action ,If theres somthing in a bury you wont call her off a sure sign theres rabbits home . Then if a rabbit bolts she will do the same at another hole and she knows theres more than one rabbit in there .how do they do it ?. Quote Link to post
Malt 379 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Bloody hell lads, is the action that slow this season people are starting to pissy over how a dog marks? My terrier lets me know there's something at home by trying to disappear down the f*****g holes, should I shoot her? I couldn't give a rats ass how a dog marks a bury TBH, I spent far too long netting up likely looking holes with no joy before I got a dog capable of marking.. Now, as long as the dog can reliably mark I couldn't care how it goes about it.. EDIT: I've just seen that picture in the post above. My lurcher has recently started to mark like that..

rapidjenky 97 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 so would ppl really get rid of a dog that diddent mark in the correct "style"? are ppl really that sad? mine dosent raise a paw or stand to attention, it would be nice but how important is it really. as long as there not stood there barking or yapping making loads of disturbing noise. whats the LOL all about? my dog just stands looking and wont want to leave a certain hole. might not be ppl`s idea of a perfect mark but i know what it means and theres only me that he has to tell. he`s a pic of my LOL dog trying to mark.

I do not think it is breed specific as i have witnessed dogs of the same breed marking in different ways and dogs of differing breed marking in the same way. I do however believe that dogs will learn to copy the marking style of the older more experienced dogs that they go out with as pups, but some then develop their own style later in life.
