fat man 4,741 Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 there no big mystery behind it if you open your eyes to true terrier work.... although some love the hype.... names and supposed quick fix potions ...... to make a terrier work to a standard...its not black and white..... no blueprint! like they would like you to think... its not a fad or something to stumble upon... it should be like art and with every drawing or pup.... your paintings or pups should be better than the last, .. genuine quality and consistency and honesty, should give the right men what they need..... to spread the seed! GMO's will always find their way into a healthy system and be a factor if we let them..... Stopend,you smoking the funny stuff again,thats like a script from shakespear,lol. 3 Quote Link to post
fat man 4,741 Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Sadly, that's not common sense Comrade. Our fox aren't tough at all, so they aren't our measuring stick. But a great number of people I've met don't care how good the bitch is. Everybody's measuring stick is different but I think fatman's measure is about where I stand. Get to the game and stay there, if the bitch or dog can, kill the game. I live in America where that's legal. Fox might be more durable than nutria(though I have a buddy who said he'd rather put a young dog on fox than nutria any day) but I expect a dog to kill the majority of nutria by the time I can get there. A bitch should try to kill. On coon, it'd be a rare bitch under twenty pounds that kills them. You seen 1st hand what type we keep Mosby so you understand where im coming from.As you say a fox can easily be dealt with but in some cases they can give a very good account of themselves[tight corners-up on a ledge] and a terrier can take a lot of grief in geting too them.Not running down the bayer type of terrier but they are not the type i like especially if they tend to stand of there fox when foxy starts to come forward,but every man to his own,im not goin to tell lads what type they should keep or breed for,il look after my own yard.

Comrade 45 Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Bump, some decent points on this thread Quote Link to post
rob284 1,682 Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Depends what the dog is used to, work wise. If the dog develops a style due to consistently working one job. Then it comes across something different, it may make harder work of it. Quote Link to post
Grunter123 1,110 Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 I would say dogs develop a differant styles for work different quarry, Quote Link to post
neil cooney 10,416 Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 I would say dogs develop a differant styles for work different quarry, I agree but now and again you do see youngsters that just seem to know how to work what's in front of them in a different style to something else. 2 Quote Link to post
Grunter123 1,110 Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 What from the off first time, green Quote Link to post
THE GENERAL 1,982 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 What from the off first time, greenYes, it's natural surely?Not all are the same, there is no recipe! It's man and dog, dog and man and getting the right mix. Ive seen it before and have it now, with one particular dog and if he keeps going the way he has, well, plenty will see him. Funny enough his dam was bred off Neil's old stuff. 1 Quote Link to post
THE GENERAL 1,982 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) As for green, we'll there's lads out there breed and rear pups and when pups come of age then they bring them out and expect this and that. Theres 2 different types of green ness. Some that haven't seen green grass and are put onto a lead and expected to work, because they are off age! Then There's green as in untried unspoilt and under the careful eye they will go naturally. Easier said than done. It takes a man to know that to begin with, that's a starting point. Most of the time it's not the dog on the lead it's the man holding the lead is at fault, not the dog. Atb Edited March 28, 2017 by THE GENERAL 6 Quote Link to post
