stav11 32 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 I do and will own and work both dogs and bitches but if I had to choose to keep one or the other the it would be dogs every time for me. I personly find them less deceitfull and beleive it or not in my kennles if it "kicks off" I can nearly always be sure its two bitches at it. I find that you know were you are a little more with a dog than a bitch even though they can be a little harder to keep on top of but having said all of this I have to admit that of all the good working dogs I know probably more than half are bitches. atb Your right about the bitchs fighting dogs fight for top dog then it stops where I no by personal experience bitchs fight to the death Quote Link to post
kernow oli 28 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 yeah had two collie bitches (litter sisters) on the farm once had to be separated so my uncle down the valley had one, but whenever they set eyes on eachother they would run at each other and go at it hammer and tongs!! this happened all their lives?? but i do and have kept both dogs and bitch terriers, but prefer a bitches methodical approah to working?

waidmann 105 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 have used both bitches and dogs in the past (just dogs now as they are kept indoors). found the bitches slower to start but use the head more (apart from biting!!) once going they are steady. dogs seem keener to start but seem to get keener the more experiance they get. either becoming suicidal (on larger quarry) or learning their lesson and thinking a wee bit too lol. bth have their merrits. a well trained dog/bitch from good stock,given the time should realise its potential. as above i have had two bitches ( a parson and a working fox terrier) which could not be let anywhere near each other!!!! but i am sure that two "alpha" dogs would have behaved the same way. waidmannsheil Quote Link to post

CarraghsGem 92 Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 i have to agree with bitches being deceitful, you know when my dog is ready for battle as he goes mental, the bitch is sat around placid as could be one moment and locked on to quarry a second later, starting to wonder if shes got some bull blood in her as once her jaw is locked no-one can prize it open Quote Link to post

vduben 55 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 ive got 3 dogs, 2 are young pups, only owned one bitch and sum c**t ran her over and drove off, the bitch was very loyal and my older dog now is loyal to a certain degree but always wants to do his own thing, he fits his name tho 'mustard' lol Quote Link to post
dev 227 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I keep both but I love digging to a good bitch more than a dog for so reason. I find bitches mature quicker and start work sooner than dogs.maybe I'm just biased cause my best terrier is a bitch Quote Link to post
