Terrier Rescue Old Skool

[Wolfie 106]

Its funny how these old rescues of fell terriers are always two or three in there each time.Like the old song of Butcher & Badger etc.Everyone goes on about the good old lines and how they were better than whats about these days they were nearly always doubled up when put to ground.

Read all the old fell and moorland year books most of the rescues were to two terriers at a time

Got to remember these are rock piles and rocks, not earths.

Did the terriers no work as part of a team when put in to bolt or kill?

Like they say a rock dog is different kettle of fish to an earth dog.

not saying one is inferior to the other, just that different dogs for different jobs.

Nice bit of film, anymore about?

I was talking about rock dogs.

As an example,a few years ago in company with a keeper and local terrierman in the Dales,what i can only describe as the the East side of Everest and the terrierman saying put a dog in there just below that hawthorn,walking at least 120 yds further along another dog was entered,those two dogs had to work that between them,impossible for one terrier,nigh on impossible for two,the old lads owned better rock working fox dogs,not the full on breeze blocks now that would struggle in spots like that.
