there usally called failed digging dogs!

 

and get sold as bushing teriers...

 

a good Bushing terrier that hunts any cover is worth its weight in gold..

ffs if you want a bushing dog buy a spaniel if you want a ground dog buy a well bread terrier. Most bushing terriers are failed below ground or dont make the grade thats why the working terrier is so precious breed from ground dogs only not failed workers

a failure

 

 

more shite spoken by a digging man. ..not everyone wants a day out with a little dog and a spade ..we invented mini diggers for digging holes

[woz 260]

and spaniels for bushing, wind your neck in, you fecking messer

 

 

hit a nerve have we???

[blackpack 70]

not a messer mate just my opinion end of i value my terriers good earth dog is priceless mate and hard to get so i certainly wouldn't breed from a bushing dog to dilute the shite thats already out there

all this is bullshite, i work bushing terriers and have also dug to the 1 bitch, why buy a spaniel? iv seen these terriers in tight places struggle to get at foxes in old log piles in the middle of a bush, seen them struggle to get through fox runs under a fence, seen them on they bellies going through gorse, a spaniel would be no good to me they nose might be bang on but they size is a big no no for places where i hunt, and yes you are right alot of bushing terriers are failed earthdogs but mine came into the kennels for bush work only earth work is a bonus to me!

i know a good bushing terrier is a good dog but lately the bloodlines of terriers are getting weaker and weaker and dog peddlers sell the pups as excellent earth dogs when in theory they have only seen a bush etc and in my honest opinion a spaniel will work cover better than any terrier

a spaniel, good for fern banks, good for white grass, what about tight brambles? tight gorse? believe me mate iv done bushing for a couple of years now seen 14 inch terriers struggle to get through this run and that run like i said a spaniels nose maybe better but they size lets them down for me, and your right about diluting shit i wouldnt use a earth terrier for bush work it would be earth only if it was bred for earth only and id never tell anyone pups from mine will be digging dogs!

terriers real work is underground lads no argument any oul dog will run through cover if there is enough of them it takes a speical one to go under ground to face quarry sometimes bigger than it. DIGGING ALL THE WAY!!!
