Bushing Terriers

[jcm 2,327]

Handy to be able to call out then. Mines never dropped in but I have a hard enough time calling her away when she's marking rabbits. May come unstuck sometime. Nice looking dog you've got

Took a lot if time to get his recall even half decent, I have found with this dog you gotta show him who is boss or he would take the piss.

 

Lucky a was able to call him out on this particular day as he was up to his quarry, I was going my nut, some people will say the dog has no heart to walk away but I know if he wasn't called out he would of dispatched it but as I don't carry a spade or collar it isn't exactly ideal

Nice dogs people.

 

Problem is with terriers they are physically able to follow their quarry to ground. If you can call them out all well and good. The problem lies when a dog digs to get at its quarry and digs its self in. With no spade or collar, you may end up loosing your dog, which is a distressing situation for man and dog.

I don't care if the dog isn't from digging dogs or hasn't been entered, it can happen. Especially if the dog gives 100% and shows any amount of gameness.

I have a terrier spaniel x that has had a liking for going to ground. I have had various incidents where I have had to wait a long time to get my dog back and have had two digs one to get a trapped dog. She'll be 5 this year, she is just about spanable with my large ish hands and I am still cautious with her around holes. She knows that it's a big no no, but sometimes she cant help herself.

I use a staffy for bushing, she marks up catches rats. Will chase grey squirrels so far up trees and loves being out with the hounds

Never seen a staff work,

If I'm honest I never seen one that I would call athletic

Most keep them as fat pets rather than getting them out in the field. She hunts naturally just got to watch her with strange dogs as she will go for them

She could be the ideal base for a line of digging dogs with the right stud over her? More than one line had a touch of spaniel in it in the past.

Just give a shout out to my little tyke no world beater but she does me proud, she has steadied up of late into her second season and other than not the best coat, I am happy with her progress, if there is something about she generally finds it. Not the most flashy or aesthetically pleasing of dogs these SLT's but this one can definitely work. Bottom pick her elderly side kick, who specialises in tracking ............. plastic bottles and crisp backets, he has once found a bag of pork scratchings once though to be fair lol

I use terriers to bush, i expect them to enter and graft below,possibly why i attempt to take fitting precautions to deal with that scenario.If people wish to have the luxury of a mutt that can bush and not enter,spaniel,beagle etc,fair do,s,then you you need 2 dogs to do the job 1 will do with foresight.

I use my plummer bitch and fell dog for bushing but my plummer has started to go to ground on rabbits any ways how to stop her?
