I wasn’t comparing distances being covered with a running dog/terrier, that’s just being ridiculous, I was replying to mC when he stated that a terrier isn’t a performance athlete when it so obviously is.

nonsense mate unfit dogs catch and go to ground with success a fox is dead in seconds big deer are tabled up on not chased down 

 

only the best and fitest a dogs can kill strong hares 

 

You can choose to believe me or not I really don’t mind but hand on heart a red stag is the only one I’d double on pre ban. The rest were single or not at all, if the dog can’t do it single they deserve to get away in my book.

What was in your dog's that were capable of doing that job mate of you don't mind me asking? Breeding that is.

Don’t get me wrong mate I’ve had my fair share of failures, I’ve found the real good uns only come along every now and again. But the best I’ve had was out of a saluki x grey to a rough lurcher with a few breeds in there, greyhound, saluki, wheaten etc. I’ve seen good uns of different types but most important thing to me was both parents being well versed on deer & having a good technique, those ones that grab the back end and hang on for dear life never make it in my book

I heard a well respected terrierman say if you take a pint of milk and add a spoonful of shite what are you left with. 

A shitehawk

There's digging and there's digging just like I could take my old half blind bull Cross out and catch hares on the lamp but he'd hardly put a bend in on a good winter hare. There's different levels to the digging game. Take your unfit terriers to massive deep sprawling places where the stuff has been dug before and you'll be digging to a dead dog or it'll jack.
