irishdogs 48 Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Yea we got the same reaction when we took him out for his first few times a**holes sniggering, they weren't sniggering when their bullys couldn't get their fat necks far enough up the dig to reach the stuff and we had to put the KB in. How did she work in your eyes 1 Quote Link to post

jimmys shop 182 Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Was out with the man once ,though he didn,t have a Kerry with him ,he had a breaking stick , I fell about the ground in stitches when he produced it ,the size of his hands and he had a breaking stick . looney bin he must be . Was actually talking to a top class Kerry man at teatime ,I give him a laugh about the game Kerry,s about on THL . Quote Link to post
irishdogs 48 Posted December 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Does this man work them or maybe there are more disbelievers questioning a Kerry blue doing what it was bred for Quote Link to post

A small breaking stick is the quickest & easiest way to separate a good game fell terrier from it's quarry, if need be, IMO Quote Link to post
irishdogs 48 Posted December 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 No right or wrong way I would prefer using a stick myself as our JRT literally will bite the hand that feeds him if you try and take him off his quarry 1 Quote Link to post
Cleanspade 3,322 Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 its good to hear of the odd Kerry doing a bit.. but i'll bet these are the exeption rather than the rule. most are nothing more than poncy poodles now show bred for many generations. as for breaking sticks for working terriers. ive been away from the game for a while now but i wouldnt of thought it had changed that much. it used to be a mans game.

Thank you for sharing the same opinion Fatman ,,if anybody I was in the field with thirty years ago had,ve said Breaking Stick you,d ave thought they meant whilst Hurling , That's why we laughed when the guy produced one for a terrier ,I put it down to He hadn,t the balls to handle the game or the dog . The Kerry blue bit is a wind up for the thicko,s , 2 Quote Link to post
