Neil Cooney. 1 Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 anyone working terriers shouldnt need a draw dog at the end of a dig pre ban or what.if you cant handle the quarry live then you shouldnt own terriers..my personal opinion any way.. on some digs you will not need a draw dog.but you will get alot of digs when you will very handy in deep digs when the game has pushed on a bit and dosent want to come out try put your hand in their mate youl be comen out with a crunched up hand.be realistic course you need a draw dog when diging. Complete rubbish. Quote Link to post

howard 0 Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Bull x greyhound seen quite a few they have the size weight and gameness to get the job done.Right or wrong I always liked to have a bullx on a dig versatile enough to stop bolters and mark occupied earths and to be honest they would make the diggers lives and the terriers lives a lot easier at the end of a dig.To me they were another asset to the digging team politics and laws come and go but like others who have answered this thread my appreciation for game dogs is here for good. We all know its the terrier who is the star of the show and that is only right and its only right to make his or her life to ground as succesfull as possable imho a draw dog adds to that success.I wonder sometimes if those who are so against the use of the strong dogs have ever seen a good one work.

Lurchers are game dogs? Thats news to me. Aren't lurchers a cross with a greyhound and something else. So to get a game dog you put cur in the mix ie. greyhound. Quote Link to post
Guest ripstop Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 I never get involved as i have my own views, a lurcher can draw if willing, but GAME DOGS as Neil says and i add NO GREYHOUND in the mix are in a league of their own, bet there game dogs in everyones mind but the truth is they are just Bull or Wheaton Xs who will do it, but not TRUE GAME DOGS.
