Well said Neil. Got to keep your cards close to your chest until the right lads come along. Wannabes and Bullshitters are ten a penny in the dog world unfortuntely.

Badger Digging With Terriers Book
Rabbit Hunter replied to Tuzo's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
The Badger book is a fantastic piece of work IMO. I always find with DHs books that he looks at things from a different view point to most people and it really gets you thinking once you've put the book down. -
You dug her Lee?

RIP. Another well known character in the dog world leaves us.

Pieps Or The Funky Red Box?
Rabbit Hunter replied to Hands of Stone's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
Everyone Ive seen use the red box has whinged about it for one reason or another. The button sticking seems to be the main concern. -

Good to hear mate. When we dug my dog the quarry was dead too. Totally blocked off the air. Haidhelliwr theres 100% cubs about. My mate has dropped on 3 litters and another mate dug a Vixen the other day with cubs in her. Also a mate in NI has dropped on them too.

Was he digging tight to cubs AT? Thats usually the problem this time of year digging to strong dogs, they push up too tight. I lost one this time of year about 8 years ago. It's not nice.

Waxed paper.

Good day Fatman. Sounds like there's plenty of sport to be had where you are. Good to hear all dogs went well too!
-
I liked him too! F*ck I didnt think that dog would be 10 now! Time flies.

Did you see any in the Century before that?

There's a dog here being dug to twice as much as anything else and he's twice as old as the eldest terrier here bar him. He's ten...or at least ten next time...pluck a few grey hairs off him and he'd pass as 5/6 years old easy. His confirmation hasn't changed much if any since his prime whereas some ten year old terriers iv seen are looking half dead.Is that the big Red dog Goat?

At a guess for 18 I'd say 'Stopping out' means stopping the earths so the foxes can't go to ground and 'Putting to' means leaving them open so they can get to ground.

I've dug to 2 different Borders. Handy dogs, but not out and out digging dogs. When I've quizzed my Grandad about his memorable days out there is always mention of more than one Border to ground. This will have been the 60s. I'm not crabbing their ways, it was all they knew. Different era and different outlook. I think that the Patterdale/Fell Terriers got lucky in that they landed roughly at the same time that the locators arrived and single handed dogs became the thing to have and obviously the rest is history.

That just made me smile Jigsaw. That's exactly what the b*****ds should get. Did the rats spill the beans on who they were stealing the dogs for?
-
Well said Goat. I hope all goes well and hes gets a good send off.
-
It's got to be someone you know and knew you wouldn't be there. And by the sound of it they've taken it on instinct because the opportunity was there. If they came for the dogs they would have surely come prepared and not just hoped to find an axe etc to break the locks.

Hopefully Packham and May help with the rescue mission and a couple of Great Whites get them.
