Would you keep a 10 minute Wonder

[slips 114]

i deal mooching dogs for finding sport and on your way agian ive add one for 10 years now probly the best little finder of foxes any one could wish to av and if i could av her again for a nother ten years i would and a little party trick she duz at easter time she raids the pots and brings em out whorth her weight in gold for sure BUT A HARD CORE DIGGIN MAN PROBLY WOULDNT FEED HER

[south paw48 27]

NO i defonately wouldnt keep 1 and there is lads out there that actually breed of these 10 minute wonders thats why theres so much crap floating about today.

[Big bald beautiful 1,231]

Wouldnt breed from one or realy look for one but im sure they have there uses before you all condem them

[magners 107]

mudd you moving up in the terrier game, with terriers that do more than 10 min??? lol..... i myself would not keep or feed the 10 min wonder dog

[dublin dezzy 1,023]

why would you want one if you have one thats 100%,if i choose to put my dog in a hole one way or another the dog will be dug,think it boils down to what you have in your yard,how many chances do you give a dog

[brog 670]

they have there uses and a lot of people that dont have one must walk past a lot of spots jmo

...or it boils down to if you´re in it for the sport or for pestcontrol. up here we´d have to pass on a lot of foxes if we did´nt have bolters.

[Big bald beautiful 1,231]

Yep...keep on walking...not fun be always an option..

imo if you do a fair bit and travel about to work the dogs in different situations you will see the benifits of one, if you play in the same old local spots then you just wont get it no matter how hard anyone trys to explain.. so you keep thinking you have a dog thats suitable for every earth you come across, lol, idiots..

I wonder over the years how many decent digging dogs have been lost because there numb skull owners put there charges in totally un suitable places that was far more suited to a different style of working terrier.

no i wouldnt breed for one, nore would i keep more than 1 where as i keep 5 harder types, but its a fact that they will earn there place in a well worked kennel of terriers

well i would used that dog with both my gun clubs on sunday mornings when a few lads want to go for a shot for a few hours and not the hole day out with a hard dog in the ground for hours with guns hanging around with no interest in terrier work

not been smart hear, but how are you to know what is suitable from looking at a spot that hasnt been tried?if that was the case dont think anyone would put there dog to ground,part and parcel of the sport,i have dug places to look from the outset you would say its about 4/5 ft turns out it was 12ft

My mates got one great little bitch excellent finder of holes and gave us a lot of sport over the years not everyones cup of tea as he openly admits himself but working ability above to find sets and work rocks etc shed show quite a few dogs up

[alimac 882]

how many spots are virgin holes that you do, most places have been tried before, but a little common sense also goes along way. but no you never do know for certain.

but if u had a ten minute wonder not matter how deep sure it will come out

spot on,never judge a book by its cover...dodgy spots are kept away from and a 10 minute wonder in a dodgy spot wont make one bit of difference,plenty more sport elsewhere
