sallie 67 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Ive been out with little black terrier Bess who stands at 10in to the shoulder. Bess is such a diamond worker. This dog can spot a mouse a mile off. Bess will pull down a bush to get to a mouse. The beauty of her hunting mice is that i only have to dig down 6 ins to get her out, we never have to wait more than half an hour before she has got and eaten her target. Quote Link to post

christian71 3,187 Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 How old is she mate? I wouldnt go working her to much on the old mice when young, seen many a good dog throw the towel in when working them to young & make sure you have some peicilln in to, they can give a very nasty bite, and never double them up sure way to feck them up in the long run.Best thing to do is start them off about 7/8 months on ants then move them up to mice about 14 months old on. Steady is the key to a good terrier. pm me if you need anymore help cheers christian Quote Link to post
