But a terrier doesent have to be very good to make a good hunt terrier ???, What exactly is this supposed to mean?. How the hell can you speak for all hunt terriers, I suppose you have been out with every pack in the country to see every terrier in action or not. I am now starting to bite with the crap being written in here so i shall make this my last post. Sorry to offend anyone but some of the so called experts get me rattled. I presume this means that hunt terriers are all soft but real men have hard dogs that get stuck in for days on end and stay untill dug too. I really need a clown of a dog just like this just like i need a hole in the head. As i said already, a lot of lads from this site have had digs with me and they all come back. I have probably done more different types of hunting than most guys from this site. I need to go now as its bath time for Megan. Thanks for reading lads, yis Del. once your happy with the dog pal i cant see why your getting dragged into an arguement but you have to see that the majority of digging lads will only keep a terrier that stays til dug to .Best of luck next season with the dogs pal 1 Quote Link to post
Guest ragumup Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 What about the times when a hole looks shallow buts actully very deep 22ft or when its in rocks, i admire a determined dog but a dog that comes away can be useful at times Quote Link to post

k9delboy 138 Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 i personally find a terrier should have to do enough to get the job done ... if the dog comes out and it moves obv your not gonna be pleased ... but if it piles in and ends up in the sick bay for weeks on end thats no very pleasing either ... but its aslong as you get the job done if you can go a whole season without your dog taking much stick and still account for plenty of quarry why complain same goes if ya dog gets a few marks ... aslong as its doing the job ... theres two extremes in my eyes a dog that will fly in and get battered and just not give up and a dog that will go in yapp for 20 30 mins then give up ... if you get a good mix of that i feel you have a half decent dog ONLY MY OPINION LADS dont jump on is for it thanks atb atch Quote Link to post

FightTheBan 1,147 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Don't think anyone was slating his dog. I certainly wasn't. Think its a nice looking dog in fact. The beauty of this sort is people can participate at all levels and you can tailor the sport to suit your preference. One person knocking another sport/methods is ignorance.

foxdigger13 114 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I think your reading my post wrong del what I meant was a lot of dogs that people think are jackers because they only bay for 20-30 mins then leave their quarry can be useful hunt terriers, Atb fd. Quote Link to post

When they come away after half an hour they are jackers end of no excuses,what addition would they be say if you were 3ft down on a 6ft dig to find the dog behind you on the sod.People that keep that sort of dog,well thats there buisness,but if they breed these and then sell them on as workers then its a different ball game,more shite been knocked about.A terrier that walkes of a fox after 20..30min is in my opinion not worth its grub. 3 Quote Link to post

I have worked terriers for 15 year now.The terriers i kept 10 years ago were different dogs than i keep today.I was a keeper for years and a dog that bayed and came away after an hour if it hadnt bolted was priceless.I now wouldnt have that type of dog,but thats not to say that dog is useless or should be pts.Horses for courses.If the dog suits,everyone to their own.clachan 2 Quote Link to post
fat man 4,741 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Clachan if i had a dog to ground for up to an hour i would be inclined to dig to it,not sit waiting for a bolt. Quote Link to post

Its all about reading your dog.I wouldnt keep any of my dogs that i keep at the moment in for an hour without getting a mark and digging.But 10 years ago that would be normal practice.Fact.A keeper mite have 50 dens to check in a season,+a week to do so.He (i)needed a terrier or terriers to do the job.Not a dog that would get f****d up on the first day. But like i said before I like a dig before a bolt.And anyone that knows me knows that.clachan Quote Link to post
