Failed earth dogs

[chilly 59]

Hi , I'm thinking about getting a dog for flushing to the lurcher and bushing , not any time soon maybe next year need to work on the misses lol

 

And was wondering would failed earth dogs do the trick ? And do you see them advertised about vary much ?

[Guest AngelicAcid]

Either culled, or used to find how deep a place is. or ratter busher.

There is always a good chance that if its failed, then it might start up again, and go to ground.

Depends upon failed as well, it might still do a few hours, while you wait and walk about looking for it.

If its been bred to work below, and its failed, then it MIGHT still be in the dog to see whats happening below next time(like a spark relighting). After all if its failed, it has still been bred to dig, not bred to bush/rat.

Hope this helps.

PROBABLY BEST TO GET A PUP AND START FROM SCRATCH, THEN YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HE'S TRAINED TO DO BECAUSE YOU TRAINED HIM, RATHER THAN GUESSING OR HOPING WITH A DOG SOMEONE ELSE TRAINED.

Makes sense mate yea , better to look for summit not bred for earth then , suppose with all terriers there is the likely hood they may go to ground but suppose if they have never been encouraged to as a pup stand a better chance

PROB FOR THE BEST. THERE'S ALWAYS THE CHANCE HE'LL DISSAPPEAR DOWN A HOLE IF HE'S A TERRIER, AT LEAST YOU KNOW HOW LIKELY HE IS TO DO IT IF HE'S YOURS SINCE A PUP.

Weather its bred from the best lines in the world or mrs Scotts wee cairn theres always a chance a terrier will go to ground, if its a failed earthdog you could easily bush with it its natural for most terriers as long as it's controllable and not a dog thats been kept in the kennel and expected to teach its self discipline then it would probably donthe job you want mate.

 

 

P.s never heard of a failed dog being used o check how deep an earth is.....

Which terrier would best suit my needs do you think , I was thinking Plummer or parsons russle ? What you think ? Wasn't the Plummer bred for ratting and rabbeting rather than digging 2 ?

when i'm looking for a dog to bush for my lurcher it will a springer spanial or bedlington terrier

[Guest AngelicAcid]

a dog that would say do 20 mins at most, i had a bitch like that, and wish i still had her for just that.

some call them gold dust.

[chilly 59]

Any terrier it is then lol

Spaniel

[chilly 59]

The only thing that puts me of a spaniel is the endless energy around the house , and im thinking terriers can be used for ratting 2
