Rock Piles

I also dig with mine and they do the job but for me I think they make better rock working terriers rather than earth dogs .

The argument that a rock dog is work more than a earth is a load of ballocks its all down to the individual I'm blessed with some fantastic country to hunt down side alot of places that hold are either deep rock ground , rock piles , shafts or level I just make the most of what I got I suppose as do most .

I could walk away from a dozen different working terrier kennels with a digging dog,id struggle to find a find a terrier capable of working rocks,especially as the majority of kennels breed terriers that do not have the conformation for rock work.

I can't see rock work being as popular as digging due to the dangers involved. Even up north. That's why that type isn't as popular. What is your idea of a dog built for rocks?

The old fell/lakeland type, up on leg narrow deep chest and not to big in size and a good coat, like the old buck or cowern stuff that's just my opinion

its amazing how many folk have the same theories/stories of the old fell hunters from books, for rockpiles that yous cant dig yous all seem to have xray vision... no disrespect but how can yous even let on yous know whats going on?

I go out equipped to tackle most stuff & out to work dogs and if its realistic no problem, but not all... If farmer or keeper walked me up to a rockpile with my terrier that looked like id never see her/him again and said that's the only hole in the area... say what you like but im heading back to vehicle terrier on lead.... and suggest a few different ways that the predator could be controlled humanely and safely.

stop end I had the sire of Russell tucks bitch if he could get to his fox he would kill it simple as the dog was 3/4 bedlington1/4 Lakeland and when he was in the ground many times over night sometimes days he would eat some of the fox plenty of pics on working bedlingtons on here mate atb

I know a few terriers that are able to dispatch a fox underground, the reason i know this is because when there dug out they are with there fox and i have witnessed it. Yous are saying your terrier does this and that in the rocks and what im saying is unless you get to your dog in the rocks yous havent a flying notion whats going on down there. Just cos a dog has a few marks after running rocks yous only assume hes killed the fox... and i have not seen 1 picture of any bedlingtons anywhere even to ground with a fox!
