    If you don't need the money I'd say hold onto it, will only go up in value...

    Well said glyn, that's what these forums are for.

    To Foxbolter- Yes like I said earlier in the thread, they havto be born with the right minerals, but it's upto the owner to make the best of them 'minerals'.

    I know what you're saying, but if you bring it on right and the dog still fails then you genuinely know the dog is to blame and not you.

    I hate the type of lads that leave a dog in a kennel and don't do anything with them, then take it out and expect the dog to know what to do. IMO getting the dog out as much as possible and putting as much time into it as you can is the most important thing in the raising of it. You get out what you put in.

    I've never seen one, didn't know they were that common. Do they live in trees or do they go to ground?

    You getting soft in your old age Zerky?
  9. Rabbit Hunter
    Both, firstly the right ingredients havto be there and then its upto the terrierman to bring it on right and turn the dog into the end product. Many dogs are born right and get ruined by a useless owner IMO.

    Don't know, I've not met him. Just what I read in one of the old terrier yearbooks.

    So is the pedigree colin didriksen gives true or false?
  12. Rabbit Hunter
    Contact the lad who owns coch-y-bonddu books G, he'll probably have it off you.
  13. Rabbit Hunter
    Agreed, good bit of kit.

    Spill the beans, spice this place up a bit.

    The bolting dogs I've seen would get bitten, but just didn't have the staying power to stop for any amount of time. Sometimes they would stay half hour, sometimes 5 minutes, but once they resurfaced they'd be keen to go back in and that is usually when the bolt occurred as the fox had left the stop end and had its chance to escape.

    I do that, not sure why! Think it's because if we've been somewhere we shouldn't have been that it will look untouched to anyone that might pass by.

    bollocks , the terrier i had for bolting wasnt a killing bitch but it mixed it & stuck with the fox untill bolted or we dug her , i also had a kennel full of dogs which if you couldnt dig the place you didnt put the dogs in !, everyone of them on meeting the fox killed it in a breath , so is it a bolter or a stayer ??? If she stayed till you dug her then I'd say she was a digging bitch, who said anything about a 'killing' dog. If they stay till dug then they're a digging dog, if they'll give up after a length of time then they're a bolting dog. Simple as that I think. You say you had

    Good post fatman, taking that extra 10 minutes to sort it makes all the difference.

    I think I must be getting the wrong end of the stick. A bolting terrier to me is one that will rattle around the earth and make all the right noises and usually bolt a fox, if not it will stay for ten minutes or so then come out. A staying dog will do its best to get to the fox and either the fox will bolt or it will go to a stop and get dug. Lads saying a good bolter will bolt it or stay till dug isn't a bolting dog imo!
  20. Rabbit Hunter
    I think a bolting terrier is a failed digging terrier. A bolting terrier will give up after so long which is what most men would class as a cull. I agree they have their uses and get the numbers up in a season bit imo they shouldn't be bred from and shouldn't be placed in the same category as a dog that will stay with the quarry.
  21. Rabbit Hunter
    I'd agree with that, good post.
  22. Rabbit Hunter
    Ok thanks
  23. Rabbit Hunter
    I'm after getting a pair of these boots, the lowest priced ones I can find are £230, does anyone know where I could get them cheaper or is that a decent price? Thanks.
  24. Rabbit Hunter
    Looks handy that.

    I used to whinge about the old box beeping but I've got used to it and prefer it to the new box now. Both good pieces of kit and worth the money. I've seen a few of the ortovox's now and I just don't like them, seem a bit light weight and they sound like a submarine.
