drawing out

[lurcher330 2,297]

I agree that's why the standard of working terriers over here is higher as they are dug to on a regular basis on quarry that is very well educated. It's a better test and it's been proven.

you really think terriers are better in ireland than on the mainland?????????

 

you must have seen a lot of dogs dug on the mainland to come out with that statement ................. yis fellman

 

thats what you call a bold statement how has that been proven. i'll bet most good stock in ireland originated from the mainland.

Sorry but i wouldn't class it as the mainland it's a different land,and some of the strains came from Britain but where brought to Ireland to be improved and then they where brought back

you being a keeper should know that its illegal to draw a fox from an earth, espeially if its a job you atb

There sure is great dogs both sides off the water, anyone from the mainland that I know off that has been over here with terriers notice a difference. maybe it's because we don't use a gun at the end off every dig ??

[MUDD 374]

Anyone argues with that would need there head looked at.

[fellman 116]

you know what, your right ,we keep a load of shite this side im pretty sure we would all have packed it in. if it wasnt for you irish lads keeping us going with the occasional pup ...and mating of your super dogs ..........we are in your debt forever thank you oh keepers of the working terriers and gods of working dogs ......FFS there is some shite spouted on here!

[Work them hard 339]

I'm the boy thats old enough and wise enough to have had terriers long enough to have worked them long and hard both sides of the fcked up law. I'm also old enough and wise enough to never ask a dog to draw at the end of a dig, IMO it's where all the injuries take place and in most if not all times it's just not needed.

 

Some one speaking some sense

It's just an observation fella and food for thought along with a lot off people's opinions on BOTH sides............ you don't have to agree with it but maybe your missing the point. It's not personal to try and make anybody look better I can't change it.

Lads get a grip we are all in the one game so should be all on the 1 side,and who gives a toss what way the fox is taken out,let it be by hand or lurcher or draw dog,everyman to his own.

I should think typing would be the last thing on his mind, Fathering anymore children must have been in the balance for a while.

Its been a long time since Ive owned a terrier but i think i did my fair share off digging Can one off the Experts please explain to me after a dig how to you get to grips with it ?? with out a dog

Does seem a bit tight to be handling, but if you never noticed they usually seem to take hold if a terrier is up close and personal if a terrier sits back it just gets peppered! Get a decent stick put it to old red, with the business end occupied. Pick your moment and get in close and personal! Seen it done many time in tricky situations, got to be fast though!
