Blaise 2,324 Posted December 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 (edited) I'm a teacher for a day. I'm teaching terrier work and badger hunt. My students are learning canine activities in a high school. They aren't hunters, most of them are young girls, I feel them a bit scared but they are listenning seriously. Another day, we'll meet together with the dogs for a hunt. Very interesting. Digging class - Theoretical part Edited December 3, 2016 by Blaise 12 Quote Link to post

One of my favorite. But this one is hunting fox (he's still able to run after a boar for a long time). Quote Link to post
Anno1986 0 Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Very positive seeing children learning about hunting and what there quarry and dogs are about . If only we adopted that mentality in the uk and had more structure and thought towards the subject. Great work ?? Quote Link to post
Blaise 2,324 Posted December 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Change your plans ! Sunday, my two sons and few friends went to hunt badgers. They had choose a place in the village of Blaise (5 km from the kennel). At 8h, my son Fernand was preparing the tools, near the kennel with one of our patterdale, Diesel. Diesel has escaped, He ran across the meadow of the horses, he crossed the field under the road, heading for the forest. The dog's found a badger place by himself. They had to change the plans. 10 hours later, two badgers have been catch front to Diesel. 2 Quote Link to post
Waz 4,262 Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Glad they found the dog 1 Quote Link to post
Blaise 2,324 Posted December 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Glad they found the dog We know all the badger places around the kennel, no problem to control them. In fact, I fear for the future, Nowadays Diesel know where is a good place. I can't let him free in the garden. 1 Quote Link to post
