New Ferreting Terrier


Recommended Posts


Thats it Arry the older im getting the slower im getting and iv always problems with my knees in the colder months. Shes very obedient and sticks close. She can work beside me and save me rugby tackling any bunnies that are getting free from the net. My beddy whippets a bit of a free spirit and decides for herself where shes working, I let her do her own thing as she catches plenty, though its normally on the opposite side of a fence or banking. Just makes things easier. Turned out a good wee watch dog too. Will see how she does this season.

I think thats perfect your a lucky fella. In my opinion a terrier is perfect for ferreting. Looks a cracker and keep us posted :thumbs:

My best ferreter was a jr he was a dog to be proud of

Thanks terry. More likely to be allowed on permission here with a terrier than a lurcher. I used to go hunting a lot with Russells when I was younger and it was always interesting. Thats a class looking wee Russell in the pic. Havent saw a proper one in ages.

Posted this photo before but this was my last JR. The wife won't let me have another as when she passed on it broke her heart but still working on it. Might have to take one home and say the farmer was going to drown it. Lol

 

Would be nice to see some follow up as she gets on, atb

 

Cheers Arry

Shes Am staff cross normal staff. She was got as a pet for around the house. But the weather dont bother her, shes good with the ferrets and other dogs, so Im going to give her a go a ferreting. I had an uncle to this dog and he was a fecker for sniffing out stuff, just a pity he bust everything he caught lol. This pup is softer mouthed and a lot smaller than him.

Best of luck with the pup i asked because i thought she was a staff but i cant trust my old eyes these days. Plenty of exposure and time out im sure she will do a job for you. :thumbs:

My last staff claimed everything he caught too. He wouldnt eat them but he wouldnt give you them either. Caught a lot of stuff. Was out with him once when I saw a big pile of feathers shooting up from the grass, he caught a pheasant and burst it all over the field, even got a cat once. Saw the same dog catch a starling chick mid air and had it in his mouth without hurting it and dropped it. This new pup retrieves rabbit skin no problems, straight into the hand everytime. Funny my beddy whippet took the hump with jealousy and got the skin before the pup. Decided enough was enough and ate it. She never ate a skin before.
