colliexgreyhound 119 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 What's the most embarrassing thing your terrier has done. Mine was a young patterdale dog I had last year he was progressing well although there was times he made a few mistakes but nothing that doesn't happen most first season dogs. Anyway me and two mates went for a dig and headed to a plantation of fir trees that holds regular. The lurcher was the earth about a minute before we got to it and he was down to his shoulders in the hole so we all knew foxy was at home. I let the young dog off the lead and away he went we got a mark at five foot and began to dig the after an hour we broke through to find the dog curled up asleep. We lifted him and let an expirenced dog in and had a pair of foxes out of the earth. The young dog never came good he had several more chances after that but began to make a habit of going to sleep in earths that were empty or holding especially if it was raining 3 Quote Link to post

Rat face 1,655 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 my mate had a dog that did the same trick when we was kids we would of only been around 15 at the time it was bouncing down with rain so we went to try a rock spot near my house. we was wet threw before we even got there anyway the dog marked so we let him go, we both sat there eyes wide open not wanting to miss the bolt, but the bolt never came nothing happened in fact not even a bark. I remember us both saying he must be deep in we cant even hear him baying, an hour and 20 mins later out came the dog we both ran over to him to see if it had been up to anything not a mark not a smell of fox on the dog not even a bit of fur in his teeth then the dog just looked up at us and gave a big yawn and a stretch and walked off! the little tw#t had just curled up an fallen asleep to be out of the rain I bet 2 Quote Link to post

fireman 10,917 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 This will make a few smile no doub't ,but went out with a keeper once to sort through some earths and first dig of the day to my plummer was to a rabbit .I knew it was a rabbit early on and wouldn't let anyone else waste their time on the spade and dug it myself and i could have burried her but the next earth she was dropped in she returned with 3 cubs(she allways carry's blind cubs out but kills them in if their eyes are open)one after the other and then bolted the vixen which was shot so she made it right in the end .

paulus 26 Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 i was out one afternoon and found myself in a rough field of about eight acres that had recently been granted planning permission for stables and a tack room. i had put both dogs back on the slips as a gang of builders were busy laying the concrete base. as i walked passed i was being nosey watching what they were doing, in fact so nosey i failed to see the hare raise from its seat a yard or so in front of me spread eagled face down with a gang of very impressed builders laughing their bollocks off Quote Link to post

jonesy 111 Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Was out with hounds couple years ago and either a hound or a lurcher marked this pipe that went right under a pheasant pen a couple of terriers were tried but wouldnt enter so i dropped my rough black one in i then went to the other end of pipe with a few other lads and slipped a net on,not long later a rabbit looked out then went back in,i was sick,thought thats why the other dogs wouldnt enter so i bent down to move the net,rabbit out,but when i was still bent over looking up the pipe this cat came flying out whacked me in the chest,i screamed like a little girl with shock,the lads standing round thought it hilarious,so not really the dog making me look like twat just myself. 1 Quote Link to post
