JPTfellterrier 65 Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 well i currently have my top terrier (polly) who i would never let leave my side and a pup identical to her who is 7 months and is showing great potential (already had to rugby tackle her to stop her going after a big dog fox the other week and trys desperatly to follow my other dog down fox sets) anyway what i was asking you all about was is it really worth having two terriers if i want a small lurcher for rabbiting and maybe certian other quarry because if it wasnt a single handed fox dog (talking about preban here obviously)then it could just work along side polly any opinions would be greatly apreciated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kya Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 well i gave up my terriers to get the running dogs jpt . luckily my fther had one but they also were a different breed and did nt take to the new dogs also if you have one that dosnt fit in with what you are wanting. a hard decision but if running a few rabbits is more for you . i wouldnt think twice good sport and times to be had . but it is wether you could or want to part really decisions decisions atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JPTfellterrier 65 Posted December 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 i know its an awful decision because she is a 5 star little terrier and is going to make a great little worker but i mean its wether i really need two terriers, the home would have to a 5 star home aswel (she wouldnt be going to no nob head chav) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest kya Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 awh well sorry to hear that . but yes the dogs could do the work with the lurcher . if good with other dogs they have good pionts . what with daytime work like and probably more. my decision for letting my bulls go was genuinly they wouldnt take to any other dog . but then again my father stepped in . if he hadnt i wouldnt have a lurcher or 2 today but its turned out ok now ,and i do love them . and the sport .also the lurcher for m is more a night time pleasure .so you can always mix the 2 like . if you have the time that is ,you being a student and all . i have 24/7 for mine being ill .so times no problem . and you sound very genuine to me .and thinking before jumping in. not that you can at the moment .but hopfully you will be soon .
