Sorry Pablo, not getting it.

If its me your on about.

na! , it was just a phrase from this man, Jon, who said it in the early nineties, which i thought then was some one digging out of a book, never mind

Between 3 of us on average we lose a dog or dogs each year,we are busy and keep em well worked.

It "hurts " every time, hardest for me is when a dog or bitch goes before leaving a legacy. When blood finishes you've lost so much more.

different day out, but nearly lost a old one yesterday, thank god, he was found, to ground, with the fox he hunte , he woudnt give a hoot, just loves what he does, and not for a laugh

Agree with you 100 / cent, but not saying that even though the game may violent towards, you dont need a total head case of a dog, that not a working terrier, but a dog sitting a few foot back isn't much good , In a range of digging and game it be facing

Pick and Bar, you mightn't be new to terrierwork but you might be new to this inter-net thing and it's crawling with anti's and those who would love to deny you off your dogs.

Calling terrierwork violent is stupid and makes you sound like a 15 year old wannabee macho man and mentioning how often you loose terriers is stupid too.

There's not a single fieldsport or aspect to hunting that I haven't seen and I've never seen violence of any sort.

I have seen it mentioned by anti's many times. It's an anti thing.

Talk like that draws out the wannabees on here and that's exactly what the anti's then quote on their websites and other propaganda so in reality you're doing the anti's work for them.

Think before posting and hiding behind a different name wont stop the authorities finding out who you are.

 

Those of us who've been lucky enough to own great ones (and IMO they're not great 'til others tell you they are, not just in your own head) but have been unlucky enough to be there when their careers ended know that the inter-net wont make them any better and prefer to remember them with a diary entry and a photo framed on the wall.

 

Leave the mentioning of violence to the 6 o clock news.

JMHO.

Just doing you a favour.

Rob284 OK! How would you describe what an earth dog does?

Please tell me.

if you describe a working dog as violent, that means working your dog is an act of violence. I wouldnt say the dog hates its quarry at all, id say they love doing their job. Its not a feeling of hate that you may like to believe, but instinct that is bred into them, they have to do it. But terrierwork isnt violent, its hunting.

[neil cooney 10,416]

If this thread disintegrates into "is hunting violent ?" debate could the mods pull the plug or edit it ????

Such a debate has no room here and the use of the very word in the first place was stupid.
