Very honest mate but there are dogs i would stake my house on .

Once a dog is well into its working life then if it walks the guaranttee is null and void in my book which opens up another can of worms as to what really happened beneath the turf lol. 2 Quote Link to post
the_stig 6,614 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 some of us old school might have differant standards some of the dogs around now we would`nt of tolerated back in the 70/80s even what i`ve got on my yard now ,,,,, some of us have been fortunate enough to see the best years of the terrier game all i can say to any one in it now is forget your 100% ,forget your books and internet , get out and enjoy your terriers because time flys and it soon all passes you by,,, ------ Quote Link to post
gonetoearth 5,144 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Losing a life or getting lost as you put it is a far cry from spewing . You talk of dogs in the past tence .Tell me mate ,honestly have things changed so much in your kennels that you cant trust a dog to put in a 100% guaranteed performance .. Just dont beleave in using 100% and garenteed. And yes in an artificial lol Edited January 2, 2014 by gonetoearth Quote Link to post

Once a dog is well into its working life then if it walks the guaranttee is null and void in my book i had a bitch never put a foot wrong in three seasons. one outing with company she entered and then came off. we dug it with a different terrier. . i was gutted and took the bitch back to her kennel and rested her for a month and tried her again and she was back as if nothing had happened. and was flawless for four more seasons. . before she was forced to retire due to injuries sustained over many digs /bolts. an old fella told me that it would be hormones due to the bitch loseing a litter .a few months earlier. who knows. they are flesh and blood after all. i sure am glad i kept faith in her as she produced a couple of good terriers and they also did although some came to hard. 2 Quote Link to post

Would you breed from that dog well into his working years if he jacked,and if not why not,we would be waiting a long time till we breed and could end up having nothing at the end,it's all about taking a chance but no pup will be gaurunteed just my thoughts Once a dog is well into its working life then if it walks the guaranttee is null and void in my book which opens up another can of worms as to what really happened beneath the turf lol.
