hedz31 1,308 Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 My dog is a bushing and rabbit dog I have no need to hunt. Black or white. Or foxes. Its more of a faloncry dog and ratter then. Earth dog ? Well if thats what ye wanted why didnt ye go for a spaniel or spaniel cross i would also remove the b and w bit as well and if ye terrier is struggling to switch on to rabbit ye have possibly bought one of the terriers i was refering to before bred from shite good luck with it Quote Link to post

Born To Dig 38 Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 whats that about keeping you out of handcuffs? i agree with hedz on this 100%, people breed their terriers which have never been tested on proper quarry and just ruin the work of real terrier men that are trying trying to keep the breed going jmho Quote Link to post

long dogs 580 Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 yeh but any good keen terrier will want to kill anything be it a fox , a rat or a rabbit or any other furry animal imo Quote Link to post
Guest busterdog Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 A good keen terrier should want to kill everything but his training and upbringing should show through and stop him IE sheep and other stock. I agree that terriers will chase rabbits but what i'm saying is why would you encourage a dog thats been bred for underground work to piss about chasing little bunny rabbits, IMO it's a sin and if you also expect the same terrier to work below ground then it won't be long before your six foot down pulling out old gray back.
