The life or career of a working terrier differes greatly among terriers.Some may only be complete sounders and more complete nut cases but both will get the job done.The sounder should go on to live a

The only thing guarenteed with terriers is most will be owned worked and bred by total muppets...

there will be no direct answer too this question ,.......some terriers get better with every dig, some slower , some wont , some will,.......some start early , some late,.....every dog is different...

How the hell anybody can garuntee anything is beyond me. It's just probability and how good you are at estimating that probability, but no one can give me a 0% probability of any dog jacking. That little bit of knowledge ain't gained through digging terriers, it's a fact of nature.

 

Now, when somebody garuntees a dogs performance, to me that simply means they have a lot of confidence in their animal. How much confidence I have in the animal is down to how well I know the person I'm talking to...

 

In my limited experience, there are dogs that your confidence grows with very rapidly and there dogs that you have niggling doubts about untill they prove themselves in your own eyes. Simply, questions like this say more about the man than the dog.

your right there curt im pretty sure the bitch is finished as i thought i knew the bitch inside out but she deserves to be given the benefit of the doubt but ive seen it many times as with that old dog i pts sleep few months ago most times with a working terrier it mental not phisical damage that leads to them packing it in

Someone else posted on here about a bitch that jacked after she had pups thought it might have been her hormones he rested her up a while and she went back to her work, could be that

that was my bitch. she . wouldnt go on one dig. she was totally disinterested. even when we used another bitch to dig. it was really odd to be honest. when i went back out with her i expected the same but she just settled back in. i wouldnt hold much hope for a terrier that has shown signs of going off the boil.. but i would give them a crack. its only right if they have been decent.

Has any of you lads ever seen a bitch that has had pups become a lot harder at there work.I had a balck fell type bitch about 15 year back that was a bayer-mixer type and really steady.She then had a litter of pups,3 to be exact and looked after them grand.The season then came around again and this bitch which was 5-6 year old turned from a steady reliable working bitch into a demon,within 3-4 digs she was smashed to bits and eventually was stolen along with the rest of my dogs,but what a change in her after having the pups.

This was exactly what was going through my head we had a black patterdale bitch, she was as yours FM sounder/mixer when she was about 3 we took litter of pups out of her, then when we took her to dig and was clean lunatic just wanted to kill her quarry all the time, the bitch is now 7 and I was talking to the guy that has her yesterday, he said she still wants to kill all quarry and has become really dog aggressive since he pupped her
