If you dont want her shitting in the garden, then where do you want her going?

 

I can only think that everything that happened is your own fault.

My dogs are in kennels..... they shit in the kennels and I clean them up :sick: My son plays football in the garden so I dont want him to be falling in shit And yes it was my fault, but hey everyone makes mistakes

Not wishing to sound critical here: but why the hell don't people break their dogs to ferrets if they keep both?

And don't give me a load of baloney about working terriers being killers that kill everything> I bought in a 9 month old tough nut, mostly JRT with a dash of Lakie. Hard guy LOL. I'd broke him to my cat in minutes, though luckily he'd never seen one before, though the ferrets took a little longer. He'd sit and watch them intently without moving with that look in his eye.

I wouldn't say that I'd like to take him ferreting, but he knows they're my animals and forbidden, the same as the chickens, which he also ignores now but would have killed in a flash when I first got him. And I didn't have to beat him senseless to break him either: just regular controlled exposure on a daily basis and firm commands to 'don't you dare touch it or I'll kill you!'

you got a good terrier. young one and killing a ferret is a good thing. bring on the foxes

How is killing a ferret good. I had a young nuttell dog that I let go on a shot fox pre ban of course with my friends terrier at 14 weeks old he locked on, and ended up being a bit of a lunatic, real hard but he still never killed ferrets or fought other dogs.

I had the same problem when I was away a few weeks back when my lass was feeding the ferts and they both jumped out and as she through the jill back in the cage, the hob was off into the pen.....he came back out and as she went to grab him he shot back in but my 'docile, miserable and lifeless terrier' sprung into action and caught the hob and finished him off........

 

 

 

docile....miserable and lifeless??!! bit harsh Stevolad.........hows it going mate.....not like you to mince ya words.

I suppose you who think that its just par for the course for your terrier to kill your ferrets wouldn't mind if they (the terriers) killed someone else's pet either? Just because a terrier kills a ferret doesn't make it hard or brave or clever, though by the sounds of it you think it does: saddos the both of you who haven't bothered to break your dogs to the very animals you keep alongside them.

you dont want any dog shitting on your grass it far to hard to pick up far easyer to teach them to shit on the tarmac or concret then give it 10 or more minits and scoop it up as it will have dried out a bit ,as for ferrets and terriers never and i say never trust a terrier with a ferret if its got any type of history of good blood in its jeans even if you think its broken to ferrets they will turn in the end they always do it may be a week it may be ten years but if given half the chance it will kill the ferret,we are talking propper digging dogs here ,plummers dont count

[Guest FOXDOG]

Exactly Rob, Skycat we are not talking little rabbiting terriers here I wouldnt even try break any of my terriers to ferrets they dont ever see them anyway, this was just a once off And FRANKIE thanks mate I hope she does too

[skycat 6,173]

I don't work my terriers with ferrets either, and I'm sure they would kill one if they found one when they're out hunting, but at home in the yard I know that they wouldn't kill one if it got out; they see them at ground level every day and are broken to them as tiny pups.

I once had a hard as nails Lakie which I took round the farms when I did full time pest control. One day a farmer's wife came out to tell me she had a rat in her kitchen under the sink. I went home, fetched a ferret and put the ferret into the cupboard: the rat was behind the back boards of the units: rat bolted with ferret hanging on its arse end and the terrier grabbed the rat's head, but she didn't shake it cos the ferret was on it too. I told the terrier to leave it, which she did, and the ferret moved its grip to the neck and killed it.

This same terrier killed foxes s/h to ground and on top, and rats by the shed load. I just think that any terrier that has a brain and is well socialised round other animals is a whole lot more use than something you can't let off the lead unless its down an earth. Just my opinion.

I think this dog is a bit braindead
