Terriermen are like terriers in that sense. Back to the original post Kerny92, what dogs do you keep? You ask a lot of different questions on different sections I've noticed. Different questions? I've got two Patterdales atm, sisters. Both showing promising signs. Quote Link to post

Kerny92 1,246 Posted June 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 What people still don't understand is you don't breed to an individual dog you breed to what made up that dog. What makes up that individual dog is it's littermates, parents, parents littermates, grandparents and grandparents littermates. One bad egg won't ruin the blood IMO. Of course if you can use the same blood with dogs that are doing the business then it's a no brainer but some don't have that luxury. 2 Quote Link to post

I no lads that at 14 months expect to work a dog because that when every pup should work and over face them. Instead of reading there dogs and letting the dog tell you when there ready or hold them back till you think there ready. It’s not always a straight forward the book says he should work at this age so let’s go. They never no when to take it easy when they start and to put them in the right spots to keep the winning the first year. Then the same dog packs it up and the dogs a jacket and in another mans hands the same dog has the makings of a good one And some lads never test their dogs and think they have world beaters. It’s a fine line. 5 Quote Link to post

Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 I'm not the one asking questions. You've asked questions on terriers and for pics of first cross bull crosses. But contributed nothing. If I'm wrong I'll apologise but you're asking a lot and offering not very much. 1 1 Quote Link to post
Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Goes against the grain for some to even think about breeding from an out and out jacker whatever the blood ties .Would rather travel the length of the country than do that to be honest .Wheres' the confidence in the litter if you use second rate stock .This day and age there isnt' a single reason to breed from jackers if work is the reason for keeping terriers. 6 2 Quote Link to post
Robbusher 1,563 Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 I think I’ve been pretty lucky with the terriers I’ve bred three litters in my life and every time I’ve kept a bitch back last two my wife picked the pup and they all grafted fine for me might not be up to other guys standards but all worked fine for me and my landowners r more than happy with job they do 1 Quote Link to post
Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 The way I see it is why would someone keep a failed terrier, let alone breed from it? To me, the people who would do it are the one's who have been lucky to get hold of the blood and are milking it for what they can regardless. 6 2 Quote Link to post
Robbusher 1,563 Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 If the dog not up to job shouldn’t be bred from no matter what blood running through it in my eyes a cur is a cur and should not be allowed to continue its line 3 2 Quote Link to post

Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 The truth is some dogs are paraded as workers having seen one in a stop and used by anyone who will fall for the shit .This is the very worst of the game to me and carried out by some undeserved of their reputations.
