The way I see it, if you’re out for a day digging and there’s space, chaining a youngster up is better than it sat looking at 4 walls all day. 5 Quote Link to post

Whatever about a pup of 12 months or so, but bringing pups six or seven months old is silly imo. 1 Quote Link to post

Sorry mate yes you’re right, by a pup I mean 12 months onwards, not any younger than that. 1 Quote Link to post
pjmc 90 Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 But as yous all know every pup is different,some are more forward than others and are well fit for it younger.the sooner you can get them out in the field the better is my thinking anyway. 1 Quote Link to post

I’ve known men like yourself get very annoyed when someone has mentioned running another terrier over an Earth when their terrier has said nothing at home, I’ve also seen said men through a proper hissy fit when the second terrier proved the first one wrong. 2 1 Quote Link to post
Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Plenty for a pup to do without it meeting anything below ground ,on the right ground that is I guess . Like it’s been said ,it’s hard to gauge what people do without being there . Personally I want my youngster calm and relaxed on its first time to ground not wound up watching ,hearing another work . I want to be concentrating on the youngster and enjoying the moment as much as the youngster is ,firsts are just that and can’t be repeated . Every single decent line I know of will self enter ,no encouragement needed but still I see the hole enders and doublers doing their best to f**k up years of breeding . If you are a fan of taking a youngster to a dig with others then why not try a change and get out with pup only ,much more rewarding and IMO makes for a better dog but only my opinion before anyway gets all pre menstral . 1 1 Quote Link to post

Lol your getting me wrong mate .Ive no problem with anyone trying another terrier if mine said no ,crack on and I’ll help to dig your dog out lol.What I’m saying is why take an adult dog with a pup to a dig at all when starting the pup .Id rather come home without a dig or use another elsewhere than judge a pup on its first few outings . Im very quiet on a dig mate ,preferring to listen rather than talk ,get on rather than talk shite but you don’t know me so wouldn’t know that .More learned from staying quiet from both man and dog . One thing I’m not going to do 2020 is judge anyone on here by what they write (within reason) 2 1 Quote Link to post
