Few pics of my terriers

[Bacchus 0]

Haven't got many photos of my dogs so I got the camera out today!

 

Min, hasn't seen many yet but met a couple of adults and plenty of cubs at the back end of last season - high hopes for the coming year, she should be able to get to pretty much anything

 

 

 

Unlike Buster, a big lad who has his uses. Can be a bit boring to dig to though, as one mate says "its just f***in corpse retrieval!"

 

 

 

This one was only two spadefuls down, we sat down for a fag to let him get settled, by the time we had smoked a fag and broke through rigor mortis was setting in!

 

 

On holiday last year - I was fishing off a pontoon and turned round to see Buster pulling this out of some rocks, obviously I yelled to him that he was being very naughty and should put it straight down!

 

 

Have shown him 3 times in his life, all at the local hunt show - he won best in show 1st year and has won his class the other two times (also won the terrier racing each time - wow what a wonder dog!)

 

 

Tink - 6 month old pup from Min and Buster

 

 

Jess - 9 month old from a mates bitch

Nice looking dogs, although pretty sad that you'd let your dog take an otter.

i dont think he was wanting the dog to kill the otter ( s,,t happens lol )

Its a mink,not an otter! Kill as many of those buggers as you can.

Spot on Bobo - he would more the size of my lurcher than a terrier if that was an otter! And if he did have that kind of accident I wouldn't be taking pictures of it, let alone posting them on a public forum.

 

Red bitch should be just right for entering this season and has come a handy size. Her mum was a good worker but was unfortunately killed working a vixen earlier this year. Charlie ended up in a stop end three foot under a cotswold stone wall and took some getting to.

 

Had a bad time in recent years for losing dogs as Scrumpy, Buster's mum, died earlier this year when she wouldn't leave a fox in a wet drain. She had entered without a collar whilst I was walking the dogs and the drain ran under two fields. I could faintly hear her baying at the far end to where she entered but there was water to within an inch of the top at that end. I called a mate who brought a B&F collar and digging equipment and we taped the collar to some drain rods, rodded the pipe, located it, broke through and repeated the process (it was dark by now). after a few attempts the collar packed up (full of water - thought they were supposed to be waterproof?) and to cut a long story short after three hours she went quiet and I got her out an hour later cold and bloated. She must have succumbed to the cold and drowned

 

Lost her mum Easter Monday the year before when I dug to her dead with her fox.

 

Two dogs in two years is some bad luck and I hope that is the end of it, I think the mrs would bury me if I came home and told her I'd lost another.

[CumbrianJack 2]

Good looking dogs. And i seen it was a mink right away, we go out for them specifically with our terriers, the bloomin mink ruin our fishing nets & pots that are on the harbour side, they chew them up to get at even the smallest dead bits of fish etc.
