20 Minute Dog

[man o kent 269]

Do you think that if you had the room in the kennel, you'd keep a dog that you knew just wouldn't stay? For those really nasty, awkward deep spots where your heart sinks as you know there's someone home, or for when you need a quick bolt and be on your way because of too many joe public wandering about.

[mad4it 695]

yes if it also worked well doing something else like bushing or ratting

[bullmastiff 615]

Would be perfect for me, I can't be arsed to dig mind you!!

[milliken 793]

in all fairness they have there uses but to me they are cull i give one to a fella on here few year ago border/lakeland dog 20 minute wonder i bolt a decent number foxes with him but give him to a lad that didnt want a digging dog just wanted to bolt and shoot over him think i send him over in december the fella had shot over 50 with him buy the end the season

Brilliant dogs them 20 minute dogs, put them in big or naughty spots and get a lot of bolts get on tackle were other people won't can't work,

Yeah course could be handy I keep a russell that is scared of the dark chase anything to a hole then on with the anchors

[crazydave 185]

Would keep one in my kennel but wouldn't be my goal to make 1. There is some really big earth's around my way what a dog like this would be perfect for but it would never be bred from and would always be classed as a failed digging dog. Nothing wrong with keeping a dog like this you just have to be truthful with your self and everyone else.

I'd fall out with the dog if it did that.. I know it would be handy. But I would still see it as a failure.

[man o kent 269]

I was thinking the same thing, would be a handy dog to have sometimes

[crazydave 185]

I would fall out with the dog but if it is uses full why would you get rid? You have to way up the pros and cons for yourself. But at the same time you should only ever need 1 of these in your kennel.

Ive a little cocker x russle nearly 3 , best bushing dog ive seen, loves rats and has started dropping down in last 12mnts. Shel stay for bout half hour then comes up has a look round gasp of air and down she goes again. Ive got a fare few digs to her and im starting to realise the bolting capabilites she has and have had 2or 3 bolts of her. I know shes a pure cull to a out and out digging man but to me she just keeps getting better and better every day out. O and she can also be called out (eventually after few mins of callin) as i said shes a busher but starting to be a very very usefull little bitch!

Going back to the original question, could I own a 20 minute dog? No. Could I own a 20 minute bitch? Yes. There's no way I could keep a dog that was a cowardly f****r. With a bitch I could put up with it as long as I was getting plenty with it.

very good point to me a dog should dig whatever you enter it to
