i think you know what type of terriers i keep/kept by the handle that i post under.a friend of mine owns a farm on the out skirt of my city and it is over run with different types of vermin,so rather than him let strangers on his land i will do the work for him.the 2 dogs i own now are 11 and not suited/breed for that type of work and i have always admired the GAMENESS of the little dogs bracken.i understand you fellas being suspect of newcomers but we have got learn some how and this looked like a good place to ask about working dogs not pets.thanks

in that case pitbull,

it just depends on what you like the look of out of the terriers about

today, you say that you admire their gameness, sometimes i

think certain lines can be too game/no brains...!

i'd sooner have a dog/bitch that stnds off a bit but yet wont

be bullied if you get me..?

just my honest opinion, cant see the point in ya dog getting bashed to bits

through no brains then having to be laid off work for a week or two..

the patts take some beating but then so do a good bred lakie or jr..

i take it when you lost all your stock in your yard one of your 'handle' dogs got loose? Not a good sign IMO. You need to take more care when you own dogs like this. That must have been awful for the stock you lost.

 

Anyways I agree, local shows etc you will find some good info there and also previous posts. Good luck in your findings

I am Pitbulls mate and knl partner in his previous chosen breed, what happened at his place was not down to one getting loose!, i have never been on a better, cleaner yard, and ive visited dozens and dozens of yards all over England Ireland and Northern Ireland.

 

His accident happened because a female got her nose through the small gap between the handle of the run trying to get at her neighbour and ended up having her face literally ripped off! Not the best thing to come home and see, i know more than most how this broke his heart!

 

Nobody cared for his dogs more than pitbull and this tragedy and the current climate meant he had to clear his remaining stock of 2 gamedogs, and for the record the 2 dogs he rehomed he did for FREE and he did not get those dogs for free either, both have gone to good working homes, at either end of the UK, one was a well known working stafford who is now enjoying life in the countryside and by all accounts has turned into a very good worker, the other was a dog of his handle who is now with a trusted friend and is enjoying life up there and is ready for a weightpull soon.

 

Nobody is more aloof of newbies than the pitbull folk, with good reason, and pitbull himself is well liked and thought of as an honest person to deal with you cant say more than that.

 

I know that he has got himself 3 Pat pups from working stock now and wish him all the best with his new life in the dogs, I myself am looking to go the same way as i stated in my 'Howdy' post for new members.

 

I know people in the terrier and lurcher game and have already stated my desire to get a good working terrier, but will wait and see the options and not just jump the gun and go for the first thing i see or am offered, i want to learn as much as possible about the working terrier breeds, their traits, best bloodlines etc before making a purchase.
