more hassle for northern terrier men

[gonetoearth 5,144]

this my terriers ears get bashed up off rats and bush work, does this mean you have to cut the ears off pups so this does not happen again?

 

Terriers use their ears as well as noses for finding quarry bushing so a terrier with no ears is no use to anyone :laugh:

tuffty i think the reason you dont like long tails is because, well av just been looking at your interests, well hung studs what gans on there is it harder too lift a full tail than a docked one

 

There nothing wrong with well hung studs johnny the terriermen.

Had a couple of borders down through the years with full tails,never stoped them from working and they were never in any discomfort,not tail wise anyway,lol,but gun dogs are different,Springers,Cockers with long tails are a pitiful looking site after a hard days beating cover plus they also work in places where drains and such are full of bacteria so an open wound on the end of the tail is not very healthy for the dog imo.A spaniel with a nice docked tail will fare a lot better.

exactly fat man i have worked a few borders and have one now and it does them no harm at all having a long tail Edited October 16, 2012 by danny300

[johnny 777 53]

No thanks gonetoearth am not that way inclined. I have a border and a staffy both with long tails both crash through all sorts of cover with no probs in fact the staffy would put most dogs to same
