jusar whippets 10 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Had a situation at one of the permissions that I have, some "older more experienced" chappies hehe,had dug 2 cubs and left the earth open! (they thougjht they had got me in the shit as they knew someone in the ayndicate) I called the landowner when mooching and told him about it, he Said "fill it in please" and from now on you are the only one allowed on here and if you see anyone else tell them to feck off! Bargain! Ive had some good digs with some young lads off this site and they have always been respectful and treated the ground , quarry & me with the utmost respect. And these guys travel a 5hr round trip to come & see me (you know who you are lads) they are now mates and welcome at my Permo and house anytime! . Share & share alike is my motto Quote Link to post

the_stig 6,614 Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 thanks for your comments on this thread --- be nice if some of the older guys could offer a bit of help to some of the younger lads next season .. Quote Link to post
chezney 44 Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 I'm a young lad and done most of my digging with lads my own age some have been idiots and some been as good as you could want I've also dug with older lads and had same some idiots some spot on... I currently dig with a lad my age and I couldn't imagine digging with anyone else we have the same aims and attitude towards working terriers... Would also like to add I've had some great help off older lads over the last few years we all learning at all times so its always good to listen Quote Link to post
fidodido 30 Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Its alot harder now getting digging, I had permission on an estate which we dug on every week for 10yrs then lost it due to some backstabbing arsehole who crawled up the keepers arse. After that we had to rely on invites. When I started I just learned as I worked the dogs & learnt from my mistakes as I had nobody to show me the ropes, I even took a couple of lads out who I thought knew what they were on about hoping to learn from them but they were clueless. When I was getting into digging I'd rather be out with the dogs than getting pissed unlike alot of young lads, the dogs meant alot more. I gifted my last terrier to a keeper mate up scotland as I couldn't justify having a terrier. Its not like the lurchers where you can literally go anywhere you want to work the dogs, we did a bit of digging in places we didnt have permission but there just wasn't enough available & the risks too great once my daughter came along. I wouldn't hesitate to get back into digging if the chance came along but I just can't see it happening as permission is too hard to come by. poach then pal Quote Link to post
CorkyJohn 808 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Its not worth the risk in my area mate, I'd consider keeping a terrier for bolting for the big dog but digging round here without permission just isn't worth the risk anymore Quote Link to post
