just shows the state the poor old terrier is in owners getting upset about them going to ground cant get my head round it! lad is prob genuine enough and means no harm i know but still its still a sad

Have a chat with him, he may lissen if hes in a resonable mood. No just messing if hes finding and staying to fox he will be of a good use to somone, so maybe let him go to some where he may be used f

Clever pitch !

Hi all I got given a red terrier off a friend last year as a pup as I wanted something to fire the rabbits out for my whippets but twice recently I have had to call my mate to come and give me a hand because hes gone to ground on a fox does any 1 no how to stop this as it is a real pain digging him out cheers

I don't own a terrier and know very little about them and i only hunt with springers, but from what i've heard off a man who hunted rabbits with lurchers is that the jack russells tend to be more suited to working above the ground and flushing rabbits than the patterdales and lakelands anyway, however i don't know why. He said they were brilliant in cover and if there were rabbits there that the jr would put them out. Maybe they're more adaptable or something. Just thought it could be a good alternative to a lakeland terrier if you still wanted those terrier characteristics.

pure and utter bollox theres plenty of jrts doing the graft
