fat man 4,741 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Not had a look at this thread for along time its got a lot of diffrent views Just had a look through it myself Bud and you actually asked the question would your terrier be called a spewer if you could and actually can call it of its quarry,imo i would say it spewed if it came away itself without been coaxed out but also if you can call it of its game then its heart really aint in it in the 1st place. 2 Quote Link to post

rob284 1,682 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 If you can call one out after baying on a fox. Cover the entrances with nets and wait, the fox soon bolts as it doesnt want to be in the earth anymore. The wait could be a few seconds to 30 minutes but it works. Good for bad bankings 3 Quote Link to post
shaneg 2,578 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 have to agree with everything fatman said if you can call a dog out there only half hearted doing there job. its only a matter of time before it starts coming out without been called. i couldnt see myself with my head down the mouth of a burrow calling my dogs name what a load of s##t. pick up a spade and start digging. you put them in there you have to be prepared to dig them out no matter what the dept is or how hard the digging is 3 Quote Link to post
block end 242 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 i don't think anyones saying breed to get these, just that they are handy in some situations. I know plenty of men that think the sun shines out their ass and have bred them to try and get these types. To me and any other digging man the are inferior to a stayer. In 99 times out of 100 a fox will bolt at the slightest oppurtunity. if a yorkie or king charles spaniel went to ground and let a couple of yaps out of it most foxes would get out of their sharpish. No couarge or heart is needed to bolt a fox I know one thing a fox will only bolt if he wants to simplesBollocks! Cheers, D. Quote Link to post

Accip74 7,112 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 I've never been able to call a decent terrier off, although there's been a couple of occasions I've wanted to......... Only the other week, I was told of a hunt terrier that will come off when it hears the sound of the terriermans quad starting up!............which he found handy Quote Link to post
rob284 1,682 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 i would rather dig one fox with a good honest hard terrier that will stay the distance than bolt 10 with one of these 'call outs'. I agree with everything fatman and collie greyhound have said, its about testing the terriers to the max, not about how many foxes you kill in a season, this is the only way we can maintain the working terrier and as was said before, breeding of these dogs will dilute the 'gameness' out of the dogs and will eventually have nothing leftwho said that some of these call outs wont stay till dug, and they aint 'game' lol. What a load of shit. 4 Quote Link to post
blackmaggie 3,376 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 any dog that can be called off wouldnt fill me with confidence because sooner or later it will do it on its own accord and cant be hole heartly working there quarry to listen to you shouting its name Quote Link to post
smasher 1,055 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Imo a good working terrier works to please' no one' except 'its self,'its doing what its doing because it 'wants' to.if I were looking for a dog I could call whilst working id get a retriever and not a terrier, 2 Quote Link to post
smasher 1,055 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) rob I don't doubt these terriers are very useful and put a lot of game on the bank,but how can it be a stay till dug dog if it comes away when calle?,surely that would make it a stay till dug, unless called out dog,in that case its doing what its doing to please its owner,its the determination I admire most in a terrier,thats the determination to work not please Edited December 19, 2013 by smasher Quote Link to post
chugger461 3 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 My opinion if it works for you keep it if u don't want a particular style not suited to your needs get rid and not palm it off to some Muppet that will dilute...pts. Quote Link to post
