francolin 449 Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 I don't buy the old saying that a terrier should work for his master. IMO a terrier should work because he has countless generations behind him of terriers that worked to ground. I've had and known off terriers that either escaped from their kennels or were lost while excising, went to ground, never to be seen again. They went to ground because it should be all a terrier knows to do. So if a terrier can be called off his quarry without a doubt that terrier is lacking in heart. It's useful by all means and years ago I seen a little lakeland who was regularly used under roads and such. His owner would enter him, wait for a bolt, if the bolt didn't look like happening then dog was called off and they moved on. This terrier accounted for many, many foxes. But his owner was sensible enough to know he had a cur and never to breed form him. I knew of another terrier who's owner would fire a shot in the air and the terrier would fly out of the earth looking for a rag. Enough of these useful curs can be bred by putting 2 good staying types together so to breed off one IMO would be silly. I don't buy the old saying that a terrier should work for his master.

whippet 99 2,613 Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 face - face I think there would be some pleasant surprises hid behind a user name and a key board,........what people put on the net is easy,......I exspect there would be plenty of stuttering and back peddling,..........the mighty thl big warriors ...... they take the piss on here because there superior internet status .......... face - face they wouldn't.....- not aimed at no one.....just saying...... but it has happened to me and it will continue too happen..........for as long as there are forums...... and the big image is in the lime light,......if you got a terrier you can call out there no good , well ive seen a couple what have been used and bolted plenty in bad places , it aint about being no good,......there very useful and people who differs , well say no more it says it all 1 Quote Link to post
Dosser 52 Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Me and a mate are going into business with what we call "Essence of Terrier", basically its a canister of terrier smelling liquid that attach's to a hand held fan. Simply take the lid off, turn on the fan and point down the hole of any likely looking earth, them foxes pop right out in no time. Saves all that silly messing about with dogs. Should be on the market ready for next season. Quote Link to post

francolin 449 Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 there is no doubt this type can be handy in certain places but don't think it's a trait that you want in breeding stock as been said. There's plenty in litters from honest workers. Out of interest can the call out types be called out from. Rabbits 2 Quote Link to post

fireman 10,869 Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 I don't get what the problem is,if a dog stays till dug then everyone is saying that's the sort of terrier we all should have,but if the same terrier can be called out then it shouldn't be bred from or it's weak minded.How is it weak minded if it allways stays if not called out(it's what you all want is it not? )and why shouldn't it be bred from (breed from proven worker i hear you say ) but if it reacts to it's name then it's shite? .No pleasing some folk is there . 3 Quote Link to post

You've hit the nail right on the head. It's the trumpets with the terriers that can't be called out that are weak minded. pmsl. Quote Link to post

marshman 7,757 Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 I don't think there is a correct definitive answer and it's all down to your own personnel choice .I wouldn't breed from a dog that could be called of as I don't think it's 100% committed to the job and I believe that a dog that can be called of isn't committed . Now I'm not saying I'm right in believing that, I'm just saying that's my personnel choice ? 2 Quote Link to post
