  1. Just for my twopence worth i think it says more about the owner than the dog in this situation.As said it should start from a very early stage reinforcing what is right/wrong.Does help to have an older dog that knows the rules to help school a pup .The use of an electric collar is the result of a crass failure on the owners part somewhere along the line .Please dont associate its use with the heavier breeds of dog as they are all easy to stockbreak.
  2. Last Thursday we had the pleasure of a days ratting on a farm where i do the terrier work .I was stuck for terriers as it was a midweeker but a post on here put me in touch with a couple of lads and the day was arranged.Met them at 8.45 near to the farm and by 9 we were there.The farmer had in mind to pull a small shed first which surprised me as its been usual to do it last as theres not much to the pulling nor is there many rats under it ,its usually left to last when the dogs are slower and sore .The two guest lads used their dogs here as too many can be counterproductive i find on a sma
  3. We actually only missed 3 that got through a fence and yes there is a pest controller but there really is nothing he can do to stop the numbers building up under the sheds .

  8. Did 748 last time we moved 4 sheds .t all hinges on how wet the sheds have got with drinkers overflowing .
  9. Been let by a few lads who should know better .Moving 4 sheds thursday 30th.Should be 500 plus .Chippenham area ,Wilts .Pm if interested
  10. Just for the record what would you say was the defining factor in your choice to work a jagd as opposed to any other breed .
  11. If its taken 6 yrs for it not to go then maybe it wont now .
  12. We are due to move 4 chicken sheds on this thursday ,30th, and ive been let down by a few of the team at equally short notice .Is there anyone in the Chippenham area ,Wilts that could help me out please .Just as a footnote we will be killing 500 plus rats so good chance to join a team for those willing.pm me
  13. Not going to give the price away then mate POA is it .
  14. They are the type that likes to impose their own values on those who have lived in the countryside all their lives.Dont last long IME
  15. Exactly mate .Hes no sheep farmer ,just a messer with couple of acres
  16. Especially in sand .We always carry a squeezy bottle .Dogs hates it but stops any conjunctivitis later .
  17. This is the result of a fox preying on lambs .Three killed in all ,farmer saw it happen .I was called to deal with it and heres the result ,shot as it fed .Farmer had eyes on it from the time it killed to the time i got there. The above two pics are the result of me having to snare as there are no earths nearby or certainly none on his land . The necessary face of fox control without the option of a terrier .Three big healthy lambs killed and three foxes paid the price . The farmer saying hes never lost a lamb is a liar without a doubt,probably has fields strewn with
  18. Nothing wrong with the price at all and i wish the lad well .I also hope someone does end up with one or two because in spite of my earlier ranting i would like to see one go over here .Anyone thinking of it just needs to do a bit of research on the subject before committing themselves to something new.
  19. Im losing interest in the selling point of these terriers if they arnt any better than what we have .The poor kennelling qualities let them down too .In fact i dont think ill bother .
