Just about any bin tipper running the streets could make a ratting or bushing dog. Maybe not a good one but a sporting dog nonetheless. Woz it seems like you have no experience of digging or perhaps digging is too much like hard work. A lot of terriers realise they don't like the digging game when they don't have it all their own ways especially when confronted with an animal which is of similar or greater size/strength. A certain author once said that large numbers of rats were a test for a terrier - they're not... Thats why people start 6 month old pups on them. I bushed rabbits with my terriers when I was a teenager & enjoyed it, but realised that it was the downfall of the terriers when I got into digging. Nowt worse than digging down 2 a terrier when out foxing then finding its a rabbit. Each to their own but digging is a true test of man & dog.

woz your a brain dead idiot terrier come s from the latin word terra which means earth and they were called this as the killed or bolted vermin from there under ground home s they were earth dogs first and fore most.running around blowing smoke into rat holes with souped up hair dryer s or bushing rabbits is not the bread and butter of proper terriers in my eye s .

 

 

 

hey little man quoting your latin fraze's...bet you feel like a propper hunter...i bet your the type of chap that wears all the right gear for digging?? rigger boots,tracky bottoms,favourite football t shirt,lumberjack shirt..whats a propper terrier you tit???

The bravest dog in the world is the earth working terrier most dogs become good bushing dog only a small amount of earth dogs make the grade

there is much fun to be had out of bushing but a terriers true vocation is to be dug to

If any mongrel can make not a very good one and be summed into an arguement.....then could any terrier that goes to ground but not actually be very good at the art....be counted. Just to keep the field level like

 

goes to ground but isn't actually very good. A digging dog for me is a dog that will find & stay til dug. Some better than others but if they do that then they do what they're bred for. If it comes away it ain't a digging dog its a jacker unless it belongs to a professional hunt terrierman

iv had the pleasure over the last to days to be in the company of two lots of terrier men i wont go into names, but in both cases , the men and there terriers were top class , digging to terriers is not for every one , its a passion and pride thing , to enter a terrier you have brought on from a pup and enter it to ground , success or fail if you have been there you will know the feeling, to dig to a terrier after a couple of hours and break threw and your terrier is there face to face holding its quarry , a buzz like no other , ratting its true is good fun yes they are terriers , but not earth dogs , knowing WERE AND WHEN to enter a terrier to ground, in a bad place or undiggerble making these decisions is the true test for a terrier man too , ALLWAYS REMEMBER YOUR TERRIERS

dev is right what he said about working terriers. terriers are earth dogs full stop....

but digging men of old that i know have turned back to rabbiting with their terriers,not because they would like to but they're body's cant cope with a days digging no more.

and most i talk to have more fun on rabbits know then they ever did digging. digging is a young mans game ? and most start off on rabbits,but after years of digging ,with dogs on leads all the time and not always the work for your dogs some turn back to they're youth and start all over again,i rabbits.

dev is right what he said , each to their own as long as your out doing a bit . ive been out a few days rabbiting with terriers with a man who was hell of a digging man ten years or so ago. and to be honest you have got to admire some of them terriers for what they are or do

An earth dog that will allow it's opponent to push past it or be three ft away....is still an earth dog....bit like the mongrel that can rat and bush....it might well kill the same rat 67 times (whilst 67 escape) and thrash through cover but not actually have the single handed guile to ever touch for owt that is remotely fit and well.....is still a rattingbushing dog. Ask the mongrel to touch for two rats in the same charge and you'll find just like the earth dog champions the above ground merchants will have thier own sub-divisions.

Still a different ballgame mate, failed earthdogs can generally make handy bushing/ratting dogs

digging all the way..

faild earth dogs often make useless bushing and ratting dogs .

its true to say that a terrier intended for earth work dosent always have the same oputunities as a terrier intended for bushing/ratting.

most digging owners asume that theyre pup will work to ground and keep them kenneld till the are at the age to start them.

they aint as steetwise as terriers intended for above ground work,most aint been broken to sheep or other stock and let to run lose can be a pain in the arse.
