neil cooney 10,416 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 It always amazes me why someone would get a breed of dog that's been bred for many generations to go to ground for maybe many hours. Not only could you loose your terrier but you could also end up yourself in front of the Magistrate for interfering with a badger sett. Not only that but when a terrier goes to ground while out bushing you'll probably have to make a trip back to a vehicle to get tools to find and dig to your terrier. What's to stop the terrier bolting it's quarry and following it. When you get back your terrier might be miles away. Anyways, a good springer spaniel makes a better dog in covert than any terrier, plus they're more obedient. Mind you, the way a lot of terriers are bred nowadays if one got to ground on you you just wait 15 or 20 minutes and it will be out beside you. 2 Quote Link to post
yorkshire-kid 44 Posted November 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 Well my pat wasn't bred out of earth dogs and his bushing style suits me so I'm happy with my choice. I started the subject to help myself and my dogs in the field. About the "badger situation" there are non on my permission and I avoid them like the plague I don't even look twice at one never mind let my dog off near one. So if my dog came out of a fox set after 15 mins that would be ideal! Thanks yorkshire-kid Quote Link to post
