neil cooney 10,416 Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Just out of interest, but is there a move on in France to ban traditional terrierwork ? Quote Link to post
Blaise 2,322 Posted May 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Yes they try. We have to struggle. But we are strong because farmers don't want more badgers. They fear tuberculosis. France is classified free of tuberculosis. Second fact. We do a lot of work to promote fairplay in hunting. We have to hunt very clean in order to improve our image. 9 Quote Link to post
neil cooney 10,416 Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 I wish you's all the best with the new dangers to terrierwork. Those against terrierwork in France will be looking to educate the French public with their lies in every way they can so make sure that no one is giving them the ammunition they need to use against you. Are the other hunting organisations in France supporting terrierwork ? Quote Link to post

neil cooney 10,416 Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 That's good to know. If you haven't the backing of fellow hunters you've got nothing. 1 Quote Link to post

Blaise 2,322 Posted May 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Thank you Cleanspade. This bitch is named Betty. 10 pounds. Hunt after hunt Betty proves you can be a little dog and a great dog to hunt badgers. Even when badgers weigh more than 30 pounds. 14 Quote Link to post

Blaise 2,322 Posted May 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 The little black bitch ? Iris is 10 months old. Usually my young dogs begin on badger after 12 months. But we didn't wait so long with this one. The 18th of may in the morning, Iris began as first dog on the badger set. 15 minutes walking on the earth and then she decided to go to ground. 10 min later, Iris was barking her first badger. We were very happy. During three hours, the young little bitch worked without rest. She stayed on but it was moving. We made three holes. The badger was to strong for her, it was waiting the dog in crosses. Iris exit at 13h. We are hopeful. Another dog did the job one hour later. 1 Quote Link to post
