dublin dezzy 1,023 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 it is not as simple as getting out there with your bulldog shovel and your b&f box/collar advice like that could destroy/kill a dog.best of luck finding someone to show you the ropes,take your time,dont rush into buying any oul dog. 7 Quote Link to post

jamie d 92 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 you've got to start some where but starting on you're own is a bad idea. its always good to have someone with some experience to help you through, you learn alot by watching the experienced lads and how they go about things, isnt there a working terrier club near you that you could join? as for self preservation i good dog doesnt give much thought to that and will stay until the job is done, you put them in you dig them out. 3 Quote Link to post

At the end of the day its digging a hole ffs Doant be sceard the dog doant normaly die first time out lol IMO, a more sensible solution would be to contact the Fell and Moorland Working terrier Club and find out who your local rep is. Have a chat with him and find out when and where they hold their meetings and go along to one. Listen and learn and hopefully you'll get an invite off one of the members. There is, or was, a lot of good terrier lads in Lancashire but like anywhere else, I expect there's several clowns, so don't jump in with both feet. HTH. Cheers, D. 2 Quote Link to post

At the end of the day its digging a hole ffs Doant be sceard the dog doant normaly die first time out lol you make it sound so simple, And it really isn't all that simple, It's good to get out and learn the ropes from some decent lads who know how to do it the right way and in the process you can learn what to look for in a dog and the type you want. And it's not just digging a hole, If the lad hasn't had a bit of guidance he might not know how long to give a dog before starting digging or even locating the dog can be a task, Atleast if he gets out with some lads and learns the ropes he will learn how to sink a decent hole and not trench or ruin an earth. 2 Quote Link to post
oldred58 340 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 you need to learn the difference between a badger sett and fox earth, before you enter any dog, some of the tips you have just been given, I think these people need to go back to the drawing board. GOOD LUCK 2 Quote Link to post
alimac 882 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 The best thing NOT to do is get a bulldog shovel & dig a deeper hole for yourself, lol lol & people wondered why I was so blunt with him on the other thread, I rest my case.... 3 Quote Link to post
