Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted November 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 One more thing-If you kow the dog is hard and you know the quarry and the earth why prolong the enevitable.Get down to the dog ,do the deed and save the dog for another dig.Im not knocking the long digs, we all enjoy them and can be proud of our dogs for it ,after all thats what we have all strived for over the years, adog that will stay until dug to but to sit back and let a hard dog get smashed is foolish and serves no purpose at all.My terriers will work until exausted but once settled in a place ,the digging begins to minimise the lay up period after wards.Save the cups of coffee for after.!

Royston2 0 Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 I dont think once a dog has been set in its way it will change nothing drastic not once it has steadily been dug to regular enough...None of the hard dogs i have dug to would stop being hard and i dont think the owners or myself would want the dog to change...The reason being each time success is there so what would be the need for change either for the dog or you...If your not getting results then there`s problems but until that day i dont think there is :good:For a hard dog to be branded brain dead i think it`s a shame maybe if people respected the way the dog works then there wouldn`t be so much hype about hard dogs being useless cause alot wouldn`t have time for a hard dog cause of that reason hard dog = no brains That statement= bullshit Each to there own i would have what ever type of dog so long as success is there but i wouldn`t brand any type brain dead for a certain style in which it gets results Quote Link to post
Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted November 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 J.D-Tried the leave longer trick but the bitch is hard and I live with it.The depth of the dig and what I come across on the way down determines the length of time she is to ground.The main thing to me is that she stays until dug to .

Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted November 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 Some may put down the hard dog as a liability,it is personal choice, but lets not forget that most decent working terriers are a result of breeding to a hard dog.If bayers are bred continually then Im afraid the standard does drop.
