In my opinion if a second dog is needed to complete the task,then you have to queston either yourself or the dog you are diggin,

Thats a load of bollox smasher.

Why is that mustard.if you read my post,it says 'in my opinion'you are entitled to yours,most if not all of what i dig is let run,and using a lurher at the end of a dig is just messy,i say lurcher as that is what would be used mostly 'nowadays'it was summed up in a previous tread,and i am of the same opinion,i consider it an insult to quarry and dog,again just my opinion

Have to agree with you Mustard, running dogs should do what it say's on the tin, run.

Anyone who thinks that the end of a dig is some sort of test is fooling themselves and if someone who works a terrier can't get in there and take them out by hand then they shouldn't have terriers in the first place.

There's probably less than a handfull of men left who know how to test a wheaten nowadays (I didn't mention staffs because their test is different).

JMHO.

ur a master of all trades hounds terriers and wheatens would u be one of them hand full of men that know how to test a wheaton then neil or just another spoof that likes the sound of his own voice

The same as you Stevie, the second one.

its not like you are putting 2 dogs in to an earth at the same time once you locate the terrier and dig to it to me the terrier as done its job (correct me if i am wrong) so out with the terrier in with the drawing dog easy as that.so why would you after question the dog you just dug to??

I disagree Danny.

no mate i dont think i know everything but i know this i know a bullshitter when i hear one

The stiff competition of the trials meant there was a high standard in the so called good ol' days.

Nowadays if a so called strong dog pulls one out at the end (after travelling all of 18 inches) while screaming his head off he soon get his legendary status.

The fact there's so called great wheatens in England say's it all. There's probably more wheatens now than ever before (because of the peddlers) but when they were fairly rare between the days of the trials ending and the wheaten becoming fashionable there were probably better wheatens because those that stuck with them worked them correctly to the correct standard.

There's still a few men keeping them right and you don't see them advertised.

Then there's those who run a flapper, qualify everything, stick a piece of paper on the dog and bingo, the price goes up by £200 and the new owner goes home with another legend.

 

I'd be embarrassed if every time I dug to a terrier I needed a strong dog to get the quarry out. I'd also be embarrassed if I thought the end of a dig was how to work a strong dog.

After all dogs were first used for drawing because of bad sounders.

Also IMO strong dogs are bad PR for the terrier game and should be left in the hands of those that know how to keep them right. They know who they are.
