Toffee?

[the goat 642]

 

was always told a terrier mans yard should be like a bag of tools

a dog for different jobs

some dogs dont like working stones

some dont like hay stacks

some wont push in wet drains

 

when your with hounds you need all and more of the above to be covered

 

welsh foxes on the hill are a cut above the rest

 

 

Im sure ns kept what he had for a reason to please himself and to do what he wanted with them work

 

seems the guy is a bit like marmite you either love him or hate him

If some dogs don't like working any of the above then they shouldn't be a Terriermans dogs......

So what if you had a dog that didn't like the stones but was a very devent dog in an earth? One that could get anywhere...would you not keep him? Most terrierman have 3 boxes on the bike...pick the 3 that will suit. Like strongbow said...as handy as they are/were on a hunting day, still not to be bred from.

I would think the dog isn't all that if it didn't try it's best regardless of terrain.

you must have a good kennel of terriers

[Rabbit Hunter 6,613]

TallyWacker can I ask what bloodline you keep? You seem to shoot down every Stevens thread with a similar response as if the bloodline failed you or you had run ins with the man himself?

I'm not being funny either mate, genuine question.

[leethedog 3,071]

The first terriers I saw dug to as a green horn were Stevens blooded and by feck the were lacking in nothing and it has taken me 3 years to acquire one from the guy who took me that day

[Rabbit Hunter 6,613]

I've not seen any better, can't speak highly enough of them.

[Lew 111]

I think he said he's seen good ns blooded dogs just not bitches mate

[leethedog 3,071]

This bitch and her dam were in my opinion top notch never see either fail to find and both would stay all day. I witnessed her first dig at 2 hours

fine stamp of an animal.

[Rabbit Hunter 6,613]

He must have done something right because there's plenty of good digging kennels based on the blood. They can't all be wrong.

thats what you would strive for but how many people have kennels full of dogs doing it all?

no better then the next genuine man, Iv never been one for making do with what I had I'd rather have none..

As far as I'm concerned I've no need for any dog that won't stay in a soil earth ,the rest are for another lifetime .I'd like to think any dog I have would stay with a fox regardless what's over its back though .

Hunt days require a different animal,we are all agreed, to those of us that require a stay all day type .Most pros breed to the staying type with the few that don't make the grade becoming the bolting ,hunt day terriers .Some outside of hunting and a few within seem to value these terriers and breed from them ,hammering nails in the type which is then sometimes peddled as the real thing .Buyers are understandably pissed off that the line hasn't stood up to its roots .
