I hope some of the people who rattle on about putting bull blood in working terriers will have a good look at the video of that dog working badger.That is the way a good badger dog works in and out does not let the badger pass him or break him up.But he wont let the badger dig on either.That is what old time dogs done and they worked day in day out."

i liked that coming from someone like you, so i remembered it.

 

i know people with terriers that will stay away from badgers entirely, because if they run in to one their dogs will be laid up for three weeks straight afterwards, everytime.

with my dog i can dig three days in a row with a result, and get away with a few cuts and bruises.

why?do i only find the nice and cudly ones, while they only find the feisty grumpy buggers?

 

when it comes to killing them or letting them run on, thats a difference in traditions and culture that goes back a long time.

if the population is small, i wont hunt it and moving it would only mean passing the problem over to someone else or having it back in a matter of weeks.

I've not seen the video but for me I whuld rather have a dog what you chuld dig 3 badgers .a week with and only have minimum dammage than 1 laid up for weeks at a time costing u vet bills evrytime u take it out

For me mart i like a clever terrier that does just enough to get the job done. I think IMO the statemant "he stands off one or two feet" is what sounded dull.

Look pal ye dog suits ye thats what counts that video didnt show much at all you didnt drop on your quarry it didnt show how far ye had to trench up that tube to get it out but i am pretty sure it was still a couple of foot up there the way the dog was up and out that badger never once tried to push or force its hand with that dog yet the dog was still up and down that tube, i dont think much of the dogs work style at all and would not class that dog as a badger dog and to be honest with that shovel and how ye dug that hole i thought ye was ferreting at first i am sticking to what i said in previous posts,i bet if ye were truely honest that dog has come unstuck and failed a few times

if i drop to close to the quarry, the animal will force its way out basically running over the dog, you would probably get rid of the terrier, while i would drop on the dog instead.

when i break through and lift the dog, 9 times out of 10, the badger will, probably out of curiosity, stick his head out so there is no need to trench on.

if it doesnt come foreward on its own account i´ll use the digging bar to push it out in the open.

 

and no, i dont dig badgers with a foldable army spade, its a nice tool to have because you can lock it in different angles.

 

i didnt start this tread to brag about my dog, i´m trying to show that terrierwork isnt the horror stories that pop up in the media from time to time and i thought it could be an interesting discussion.

As long as your happy with the dog that's all that matters atb with it

[BIG G wheton machine 1,594]

you should dig a badger and release it and dig it again n see how the dog would cope with a stripe thats been dug before cause sooner or later your gona come across a nasty b*****d that tries to remove your dog from its home and the first time that happens your gona want another dog that stops. im sure that we dog would make an exellent foxing dog . just my opinion ( ive had the pleasure of seeing this happen when i was holidaying in france)

I kind of said this already but a lot of ye are giving out that this dog is too soft but if you were digging out a badger with one of ye're patterdales the patterdale wouldnt stop a badger either if the badger really wanted to push it back! And this lad obviosy has a lot of experience with digging badgers which most of ye dont have since it's illegal in england!

im not disrespecting your we dog in any way mate just tryint to elaborate on what the others are trying to say, i know [bANNED TEXT] they mean by what they are saying. p.s i think your a lucky b*****d that you can hunt them legally in your country. the uk is the only place that a stupid fkn disease spreading animal has more protection and human rights than us humans that live here lol. thats why i liked france
