Born Hunter 17,763 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 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. 1 Quote Link to post

irishdogs 48 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 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 Quote Link to post

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 Quote Link to post
