Simoman 110 Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Be interested to hear about working coypu Donny Quote Link to post
Guest oldskool Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 there was a link to the 'real mcoy' patterdale site that showed his strain of patts working coons... some of it was a bit uncalled for but hard dogs none the less Quote Link to post
donnyc 1,203 Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Be interested to hear about working coypu Donny .Not a lot to say mate ,if a dog sat back they would get chisseled, if they went straight in coypu screamed and gave up ..They could walk on the bottom of the dykes and rivers funny watching them.Used to be many channels about a foot wide 18 inches deep with grass etc covering the top, buggers used those a lot .Some of the dykes were bottomless dodgy places .When there were cattle in the fields you could feel the field moving as they ran ..Good fun in the Summer months ..Otters another ball game rated them as the ultimate quarry for a terrier ,especially when hounds were marking them and they didnt fancy bolting .

valerio 32 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) I've had terriers on Porcupines a lot of times,by accident as it's illegal.Really dangerous for dogs,porcupine thorns can badly damage or even kill the dog. My friends down the cost work their dogs on coypus,not an interesting quarry but somethimes they will give the dogs some nasty bites. Edited July 31, 2007 by valerio Quote Link to post
