Getting permission for terrierwork


Recommended Posts


knock doors and be prepared for a few knock backs.....try and get out with some tidy lads,show them your trust worthy and ffs don't be pulling your phone out and start snapping away lol......sheep,dairy farmers and chicken/game farms always a good start.get some public liability insurance and a few cards with your details on  them,can leave them with the folks you try.be patient could take some time......good luck mate and always do right by your dogs?

If you happen to meet em in the pub, give it time wait till their drunk even buy em a drink or 5, then strike take full advantage and pop the question. It's an option if fairness.???. They may not recall what you said or may not even recall who you are the next time you meet but it's worth a shot. Or do it the easy way just call to the house an ask em if he ain't there you may get to bang the wife ,one good deed deserve another, that's also another option, you've got so many options who knows what can become of it.

knock up some permission slips on the computer. I get the landowners to sign them stating what I'm there to do.your contact details, vehicle reg etc on the back,if I'm parked up on side of the road then I leave one on the dashboard saves the slippery keepers thinking your a wrong un and slashing your tyres(has happened in the past ?dress smartly and just keep knocking doors.20181203_183608.jpg.efa055c46c51d2c25b6a7b53f53cee20.jpg

Hi What’s the best way to find permission for working terriers on ?  Thanks ??

Go beating it’s a good way to show you are sensible young man that can be trusted let loose in the country side,once helping out on the shoot you will hopefully get abit or ratting & rabbiting & dogging in which should go a long way towards some fox work.regards public liability insurance this usually comes with your house insurance,for years I was a NGO member mainly for the insurance but it came to light when BASC members were trying to claim that you can only claim off one public liability insurance at one time and as most folks have house insurance the BASC insurance is abit of a waste of money.

I haven't done any terrier work for year but I do bit with the runners and permission is hard to get And easy to loose.

best advise is what dc said,and stu, get out beating,offer your service to local farms .

you might get lot knock backs but only takes one to say yes and then it's down to you and your juck to prove yourself to landowner.

good luck

Good point about the beating, second bit lost me?

Cheers, D.

Lol DC mentioned public liability insurance which is a fair point, I was just trying to make the point that public liability insurance comes with your house insurance so for most of us it’s a waste of of money taking out a separate insurance.

      Alright lads, posting this here to see if anyone has taken a few steps back with a terrier and built things up again.
      what it is, I had dug to my youngest twice at the tail end of last season and he did well for his first digs also had a Reynard on top walking country. They were simple straight forward earths, and he stayed on baying until we were through to him and the Charlie - I was landed, nice to have a steady Bayer in the kennels. 
      I started quite late this season due to work but this week I took him back out to a known spot for his first time out this year.
       I don't 'hiss' or 'hype' my terriers on, allow them to come on in at their own pace into the earth. He shot into this earth, after some searching I heard a few thumps and a whack followed by a few bleeps of baying. Eventually he was a meter away from the point of impact and I could make out his arse from the entrance. Very disorientated and reluctant to push forward I sat and watched on as he'd resurface look for me and head back in to bay 0.5 meter in from the earth entrance. And though some may say I did the wrong thing I pulled him out, though he was keen to go back in - I had a gut feeling.  Slight nick on the ear but no more or near the previous digs/encounters gave him. 
       For his age 3 YO, I've always said in comparison to his siblings he was slightly immature, almost hung onto his puppyish behaviour so progress had always been slow. I'm all for giving opportunities for a terrier to prove their worth but equally don't want a kennel full of half hearted dogs. 
      I'd be interested to see what the more seasoned terrier men thought about the matter? Difficult to say what's what especially with dogs that have little digs under their belt, I have a few assumptions to why this may of happened in my head but thought I'd run it past you lot first, especially before making any hasty decisions. 
      Thank you for reading 👍

      Hello lads, merry Christmas and all that. I’ve got a terrier in my kennels that starting to test my patience. 
       
      Great dog, keen as mustard and all that but time and time again I’ve broken through to her steadily baying away only to find she’s sat with something mid tube on one occasion I broke though and there was nothing there however last week I said to myself if I break through I’ll clear the tubes up and pop her back in to make sure it isn’t my fault rather than blame her. Lo and behold it was sat about a meter back from the open end of the tube and eventually bolted itself - Happy says, a nice morning out (I only dig on my own and keep it private).
       
      However today we popped over to seasoned place, in she went, which was an incredibly large earth with multiple holes spanning across a bracken bank. Straight away she sat at 2.4 baying away well, too many entrances to net I kept an eye out for the bolt but nothing was to be seen. For the next hour maybe two she barley surfaced and worked the entire earth sitting and baying on occasion but shortly moving on and covering a great distance. Eventually on one occasion when she popped out, nose down looking for the next way in I picked her up and sat her back in the truck as I didn’t want to be sat there for another hour trying to get a mark. 
       
      my question is simple, what am I doing wrong? Or is the bitch at fault for not working her quarry to a stop end and staying. She isn’t massively experienced however for what’s she’s done I’ve found she’s intelligent and very safe often comes away without a mark. Please don’t recommend PTS or moving her on, I understand many terriermen wouldn’t tolerate this however for the times I have dug to her successfully it has been a great pleasure. I’ve had a conversation with a lad local to me and his response was “she’s not hard enough to hold them” which made me think one man’s preference may not be another’s. 
       
      all the best & happy new year

      Morning lads,
      so I’ve always had black fell terriers and work them to ground. But for a few years I’ve noticed people starting work slightly broken coated very short coupled terriers that are little savages. I never really get a clear answer to what’s in them but I really like the look of them.
       
      one chap told me he’d crossed his Sealyham with a Russel and it turned out a good little worker. Just wondering if anyone else has had any experience with this breeding specifically for earth work? 
       
      thanks
