fat man 4,741 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 My 2p worth if I bring out a youngster and he or she doesn't enter or show much interest then no harm done terrier either not ready or not going to do the job in hand but at this stage it has done nothing wrong.now if I bring one out and it enters and finds and works its quarry for a time then comes away well straight away there is a question mark over said dog but will be given a chance to prove me wrong but not many chances if it continues the same its bye bye. 7 Quote Link to post

Just because I don't expect instant results or legends from day one doesn't mean I don't own one, they all have to have hours in the classroom to make the animals they become.

Maybe a better terrier man would have put the dog down immediately? Macho bullshit results in empty kennels, I’ve seen a dog that was wanting work from 10 months old turn out a coward and on the other hand a dog that never entered until he was 19 months old be the hardest dog I’ve ever seen. There’s too much of a grey area to be making rash decisions with first season dogs. Absolutely right Quote Link to post
Apache... 2,588 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 After having a dig wth another terrierman a month ago we were discussing how many chances do you give a dog before your resigned to the fact they ain't gunna make the grade, we both said the same thing funnily enough.

dillydog 8,463 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) They shouldn't get chances, they should get time to learn and time to mature. If however after they've been given time and experience and they're still a piece of shit then you've just got to take it on the chin and start again.
