boropiker 2 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hi in the next day or so , im going to have a look at some patt x staffy pups . What his is the best things to do on checking and chooseing. See both parents .His the owner to have them all started with their first injection. Pick a dog or a bitch. Look for the brightest most active ,what about the runt ,normally theirs one thats alot smaller. I want a pet companion and to hopefully keep any rats at bay around my static caravan on a lake side when all the crops are cut. In the country side around my static.., also to get it stock trained and poultry while in its puppy stages. And good temprement all round kids and people. I no i'm asking alot ,but i think once you pick its up to you and the amount of time put in ,and what genes the dog as in it to work with...Any help on your tips on picking out the litter ,would help me hopefully get it right....cheers Quote Link to post
alan626 305 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 get a jack russell from non worling stock that pup ur getting is going to break ur heart going to ground and a lot of other stuff u dont want 1 Quote Link to post
BEARINATOR 2,872 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 The owner won't get them innoculated unless they are 8 - 10 weeks Dog or bitch is up to you, bitches are pains twice a year but dogs are pains all year round Stock training is easier with pups and as for picking 1, well if a pup comes over and chills beside you then go with that but as Alan said look for a russel rather than a bull x terrier. Before any bully fans say anything I do have a couple myself Quote Link to post
Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I would go for the one that looks most like a pat and not the staffy,but ive never seen a litter of first crosses.. Quote Link to post
boropiker 2 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hi..I did ask the lad who told me about the pups if the the owner had breed them for going to ground ,he said no ,But as you say the patterdale in them will do just that.I was wanting a dog that didnt sound of all the time and it was the staffy in them that i was hoping to have that side ,friendlyness and quiet not yapping at eggarness....Thanks for reply its these things that i want to be thinking of...

vduben 55 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 as everyones said, get a russel, alot of people say that terriers are yappy............. there just like other dogs, i know people with 'yappy' large breed dogs Quote Link to post
silverwings 1 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 lol do you want to teach him to wear nappies as well only joking most terriers can be trained to all of those tasks if you get them young enough but you must be firm with them silver Quote Link to post

Coyotehunter 689 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Honestly mate id do what Alan said , it sounds like you'd be almost better off with a nice Bedlington, that way if you get a bigger one you've no fears of it getting to ground , and they'll catch rats and mooch about all day long As for which pup to choose, alot of people say pick the boldest one but that isn't always the best pick, you have to look at yourself as a dog trainer, are you the type of person that is hard on dogs, ( and I dont mean beat the snot out of the dog ) or are you a little softer on your dogs , that bolder dog is fine if you your the type of person that can keep a sharp eye on the pup and not let it get away with anything, but if you're a bit of a softy then maybe the more timid middle of the pack is a better option .

JMHO CHeers CH Couldnt agree more, was just going to suggest a Bedlington, excellent Ratting/Bunny dogs, and as soft as a bag o nobs with people . Quote Link to post
boropiker 2 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Hi All...Some good addvice and thats what i was hoping for. And thats some dog bulljack looks very keen, I can been hard if i need to be as i no if you start to let them get away with things specaily jacks, their get to thinking that I'm the top dog and start trying to do what they want sort of thing. And i do want my dog right for walking past and through stock ,which is one of my most important test's, With been on the farmers side or my walks through his feilds and shooting would be nil with a stock worryier. And a couple of replys touch on one of my thoughts on a very big fancy of mine and it was a beddy, Never met or seen anybody to approach to talk about the breed but you have got my mind thinking about them . What are they like are their barkers or not too bad. I have moved into a ground floor flat and its three storey ,when i nip out anywhere i carn't take a dog i dont ,want it barking the house down. I want a dog i can keep for live I'm not a swapper or move on type of person i want to give my dogs a welcome home. And as i are on my own now i would like the companionship with a nice dog that keeps its self happy doing what it loves most and getting out with me and getting on and doing its own work and enjoying the outside life with me. I will have a look about for any good reading about beds. What sort of average height do you get with beds. Once again thanks, for the tips and keep them coming its gaving me food for thought...cheers Quote Link to post
