been out last week in the land of the dragon ang going next sat, come over

[neil cooney 10,416]

a dog that stays and stops its quarry and is able to hold it there untill dug,thats be proven over the years and always done its job! thats what i count as a 100% earth dog, does matter if its hard or a sounder or a mixer as long as it sticks it out and gets the result

 

hit the nail on the head but a terrier is only 100% till its next dig

exactly mate a terrier is only as good as its last dig ,, Cheers Sniper

"a terrier is only as good as it's last dig".

If ever there was a saying used by fools, that's it.

[Guest SPIFF]

SO NEIL IF A DOG HAS WORKED WELL PREVIOUSELY AND MADE A DICK OF ITSELF LAST TIME OUT.DO YOU GIVE IT ANOTHER CHANCE OR GET SHOT OF IT?

[neil cooney 10,416]

Spiff I'm not even going to answer that question.

I've heard that saying a thousand time. But never by a decent terrierman.

[sniper 30]

neil answer the q. personally i would get rid coz its prone to do it again.

[J Darcy 5,871]

[Guest SPIFF]

don t understand neil.If i have a decent dig to my dog im home happy as Larry.If i have a crap dig for example a question mark dig which happens im home doubting.Now i wouldn t get shot of that dog but it would leave me doubting the dog.

So if my mate phoned and said "well how did you get on"

I could say dog done great stopped his stuff worked him well and stayed,1 hole.

If the dog lost it or something happened that left me scratching my head,which happens,i would have to say dog let me down didn t get hhis stuff.

So THE DOGS ONLY AS GOOD AS HIS LAST DIG?

 

DOESN T MEAN THEY DON T ALL HAVE OFF DAYS OR THINGS CAN HAPPEN THAT LEAVE YOU WONDERING OR THAT THEY DON T ALL DESERVE A FAIR CRACK OF THE WHIP.JUST MEANS THAT UNTILYOU GIVE THAT DOG ANOTHER SHOT AT IT TO PROVE HIMSELF ,THE JURIES OUT.SO WHEN A LAD CALLS TO YOUR YARD AND SPOTS THIS DOG WHAT DO YOU TELL HIM?GREAT DOG THAT?OR THE TRUTH?HE LET ME DOWN YESTERDAY?SO IN ALL HONESTY HES ONLY AS GOOD AS HIS LAST DIG?

 

OR WHAT ABOUT "TIME ENOUGH TALKING ABOUT A DOG WHEN HES DEAD"

[zap 4]

f**k me your all f*****g mad

[tigerdog2 8]

always tell the truth of your terriers abiltys,people who choose to lie about there dogs abilitys are only liying to them selves,how many lads over the years have come to me saying this dog that and this dog that,only for me to acompany them on a day out and quickly realize far from them having a great dog they dont evan have a ever day worker,my findings are talks cheap and liyers and baloons soon get found out in the terrier game !!

[Guest SPIFF]

NEIL? JUST INTERESTED IN YOUR THOUGHTS ON MY POST?NOT MEANING TO BAIT YOU BUT STILL CURIOUS WHY YOU THINK THAT COMMENT WAS SO INCORRECT.
