He’s a smart dog goldfinch what sort of weight is he? What other terriers do you or have owned to compare him to for bushing.
-
Hope your granddaughter is on the mend foxpack,nice thought from the local keepers well done to them.
-
Nice looking dog,looks strong and robust.
-
How are they on recall? Do they get there heads down and go or are they obedient?.
-
I had a terrier spayed at around 2 years old because my other dogs were males,it saved a load of hassle.regards putting on weight I would say say there waist gets thicker but not fat if you know what I mean, it also make there coats abit softer you notice this more in terriers that are hand stripped but it’s nothing to worry about.it doesn’t affect them as workers one bit I would go for it .
-
I would get one and train it then buy another two pups are not easy ,There’s a terrier x spaniel for sale in bushing section have a look at the vids to see if that style of hunting would suit you as it’s very spaniel like the way it hunts.
-
I’ve a full cocker that hunts fox scent like he does pheasant sent and I dare say pre ban they would get stuck in if need be, cockers are very versatile dogs you could bush,go beating or picking up with it but if it’s strictly bushing for bigger stuff then I would go for a cross.also if you get a spaniel from top working lines they hunt like f**k and if not trained it could end up three fields away while out bushing.

Smart team there kevj.

Don’t worry paddyluke I’ve broad shoulders.

Katchum you’ve never worked in the pits or have done 12 months with no wage and I doubt your the sort that could do 12 months on strike so your not qualified to say what you would or wouldn’t do in my situation but your good at spoiling grown up topics like you do mosts days and hours on here, I suggest you get out more with your dogs instead of being constantly on here.
-
Sorry to hear you lost your house tatsblisters, i did the full 12 months on strike plus my dad was on strike hard times, it’s a labour run council we’re I live, it’s not perfect but better than when it was Tory run, I am not a big fan of Corbyn but I will never vote conservative because of the past.
-
If it were me I would be open and state my price for your pups ,you have obviously spent a few pounds buying your dogs so it’s only fair you get a good return for well reared KC registered pups,if somebody really wants a teckel they can either pay up or shut up.

Most dogs no matter how well trained they are will try it on now and again regardless of what breed they are, try recalling the dog in the garden or somewhere it can’t escape from,shout the dog if it doesn’t come when called race across to the dog and grab it by the scruff and tell it off properly so it knows it’s been told off then quickly move a few yards away, crouching call the dog in a kind voice, you will find it will quickly come to you, when it does make a big fuss of the dog, this method very quickly learns the dog it’s better all round if they come when called, dogs soon learn if the

Bedlington stud dog Yorkshire!!
-
I let him go to ground in rabbit sets which have also held Fox’s in the past, I’ve done this since he was around 7 months so I can reinforce that he comes out when shouted out which he does, he’s not the sort of dog that just runs round like a silly b*****d out of control, so in answer to your question he could drop to ground but it’s unlikely and if he did I am confident I could shout him out.cheers.

I’ve had a few hours this aft with the dogs pushing game out of cover for me to knock over with shotgun, we ended with 5 rabbits & 2 pigeons, the terrier also managed to push a fox out after he had fallowed the scent for 3-400 yards before pushing it out, the terrier doesn’t yap when on scent or chasing he’s the only terrier ive had to do this but I’ve noticed through not yapping he can get much closer to game.
-
I’ve 3 dogs and 1 of them has only been with me just over 12 months with no problems, over the years ive had every combination of dogs and bitchs and I can tell you if the bitchs are not spayed there a pain in the arse in season causing some dogs to spew there dinner up & some not eat and it can take there mind off work especially if they have been used as stud dogs it’s just a load of unnecessary upheaval,also if a bitch is in season when you go on your holidays it’s a pain for friends or family members who are left looking after your dogs. I would say get a dog pup it just keeps everythi

Read the other posts there’s more than me who don’t like mounted packs, your going over and over the same old ground are you pissed ,good night.
-
Read my post again I said mounted packs and in my other posts I said I support lurchers terriers etc just not mounted packs, no I am not a vegan or an anti.

I like him moocher71 if there was an ideal dog for today’s busher then that dog would be it.i believe it’s global warming that’s messing with the seasons and like you I remember a longer seasons.
-
Cheers moocher71 he’s 14 months, I’ve had two similar dogs which I’ve posted pics of but both are dead now.
-
Nice dogs fellman mark what’s there breeding?.
-
It’s been very mild but I was still surprised with this young rabbit today which isn’t half grown.
-
I would say you and few others on here that need a dedicated lurcher for Fox’s are in the minority most just run rabbits despite what they may say on here as you just don’t come across Fox’s every day and with that in mind I stand by what I say lots of good dogs are passed on because of there owners will never be dog men.
-
It’s a hard one jigsaw cos I don’t know you or the dog and the chances are no I couldn’t make him a fox killer or hare catcher but he’s only 16 months that’s not old is it,I a accept killing foxes takes a special dog but also great care, honestly if you had your time again with that dog would you do everything the same again with him?.
