RATTING Vs DIGGING

[Guest Eamon.Mc]

Thought I'd DIG this old argument up as there seems to be a bit of confusion surrounding WORKING TERRIERS again.

[Guest whitser]

this is my understanding of a working terrier. a working terrier is one thats goes into the ground and works its quarry til it either bolts or is dug out.

if a terrier is only used for ratting and rabbiting etc.. only then its a sporting terrier.

a working terrier does its job below ground.

i use my dogs as a source of food so to me its not sport i understand what your saying i thought terrier was the meaning of earth dog i might be wrong but i think its opinion about the working side of things i will say mine work but are not earth dogs

if they work at the chosen game that makes workers i have no doubt it takes a harder dog to dig than to bush

if 2 people had jobs one was a florist one was a tarmacer the tarmac is harder work but both are still work just different type same as terrier work

but most dogs should be able to bush not many can dig

I think most of the lads that do the ratting on here are the ones that ask for the pictures to be taken down. thats why i dont post on here because the lads see abit missing on a grafters face and ask it to be removed.

I do a little bit of everthing with the terrier's be it shooting/ferreting/bushing/ratting and digging when i get the chance and personaly i would call it all work and it should be all in one section because they are all working sport's..

I think a digging section is a good idea. The members who consistently protest against pics of terriers being marked up then have a choice, if offended by it don't look & definitely don't f*****g post. Marked up terriers are nothing to be ashamed of, I wait with bated breath for some Plummerplile to put me straight & inform me that good dogs don't get marked up if they are they have probably been doubled up.

I meant people with the Plummer mentality who have taken what he wrote as gospel, not having a go at Plummer terrier owners mate. It would be good to see some photos of ur dogs though
