Stop end I've said it before and I'll say it again you do spout some bollox.terriers are just terriers not machines programmed to do a specific job so yes any terrier can and does on occasion have an off day no matter what way they are bred. I have seen dogs go season after season without fault and then one day something happens that no one can explain as no one knows what goes on underground it might be just the once but it happens to the best of them and I think most lads if honest will agree. 16 1 Quote Link to post

I get what your saying chum but in your statement you said experienced terriers can get out witted once or twice in their careers... if they don't get there game chum that puts them in the same category as my dog.. you've contradicted yourself buddy 4 1 Quote Link to post
EDDIE B 3,166 Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Yea I suppose any dog could have an off day. It can turn into an excuse though, can't it. How many "off days" is acceptable? How many good dogs have "off days"? Ya know, there's a lot of lads out there who think they have great dogs. Thing is, they just haven't seen one yet. 1 1 Quote Link to post

A lot of it is a cock measuring contest with lads boasting up dogs. 5 Quote Link to post

Lol, taking you to earths they to scared to drop their own dogs in.... Trying to set you up for a fail.... Been there many times and wiped the smerk off their faces.... Be honest with yourselves, every dog from every line no matter the breeding will make mistakes.... Just depends on the ego and honesty of the owner to how its dealt with, some keep quiet and still breed from em, others know enough to admit dogs faults and tell you..... Unfortunately these days they are few and far between imo. 9 Quote Link to post

I agree with you their are plenty of lads that would love to see a good dog fail instead of seeing it do a good graft then jealousy has a lot to do with it. I have heard of lads telling other men slip your dog in here dug it loads of times only light to end up a gruller and they then turn around and say that the first time it went that deep.I would never ask any man to put his dog where I wouldn't put my own and anyone that has dug with me will vouch for that. I personally like to see another mans dog work so when I have someone up for a day I try and sort them with as many digs as possible as some may not have the digging where they are from but I will always take one of my own out aswell. Why people would like to see another mans dog fail is beyond me or worse again why they would take them to a bad place just to try and break a good dog because no matter how good they are they do have a breaking point. 14 1 Quote Link to post

Lads that would like to see another man's dog fail when I out digging with them wudnt be terrier men in my eyes just spinless c**ts. 4 Quote Link to post

I agree wholeheartedly I'm the same but there's plenty more of the type that we have just mentioned fm. Atb 1 Quote Link to post
Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 It's more common than people would think. The digging up around me is not too plentiful so travelling is the only way to work the dogs properly. I've lost count of the times I've dropped a dog in, and out comes the 'oh we never get a dig on this place' or after a successful dig it's 'dog did well there, we've never managed a dig on here'. There's no need for it. 5 Quote Link to post
