    Do you find catch rate goes up with just the one dog .They get in each others way and same dog does most of the catching .Sharp dogs though mate and some good ground for it .Thanks

    Say what you want about the drawing ,ive done it most have but either leave the dog to it or shoot it .Its the tail pulling that concerns me and nothing else .Pressure down the spine can only go one way .A retired dog needing huge vets bills or a bullet .Seen it with 2 lurchers and a terrier of mine that i stupidly drew with the tail and not back legs .Both lurchers were the result of drawing as shown but not by me nor was i present .

    Seriously mate have a look on digadog .com.You can place your order as to how deep you want to dig .Even do a delux, call out version in white and tan .

    This is in no way a criticism mate but you you really dont want to pull a dogs tail like that in the vid or even hold it if thats the situation.The vertebrae can be damaged easily and the dog never recover .Keep it coming though please as i love reading about other folks days out

    If theres less bred and pups GIVEN to good lads then this would be addressed
  12. Squirrel_Basher
    Used Wheeler stuff for an outcross several times and i hate a timid dogs .It seems we are talking about two different lines here as what the man bred was very bold ,outgoing and early starters when in the right hands .What needs to be remembered is that once a line leaves a mans yard ,unless its put back to similar then all traits are changeable .Not many lads do the decent thing and consult the breeder as to whats best over any given line and chuck any old black thing on it just because it works.This is why there are those out there that will only part with pups under conditions and i wholehe

    The Wheeler type line i know of is a far from timid but then again the man is quiet and unassuming.Sometimes ,just sometimes the owner can bring about a wreck of a dog without meaning to .The Sparticus line is im afraid all but gone now though a lot of lads mention the name when talking breeding .

    Was going to be my question too.I would think 7 years old would be a proper veteran .JMO

    So what in your opinion would be the result of feeding 10% protein? Edited to add - whilst working hard. A slower rate of muscle repair and infected injuries

    Prove you deserve one and maybe

    ..............................Or sort out what it is you want in life and strive to achieve it ,something lacking in todays society in general.Just wrote out a lenthy breeding plan but deleted the lot. Cant be arsed to read the criticism .

    Once a dog is well into its working life then if it walks the guaranttee is null and void in my book which opens up another can of worms as to what really happened beneath the turf lol.
  19. Squirrel_Basher
    asked me that 18 month ago and i would have said yes! 110% in my wee dog........i had/have a dog that a few on hear have seen she worked rock and earth and worked and bolted fox/mink and a few other things over her 6 years of working and she was used a lot for what i wanted her for, she bayed non stop for hours if needed and VERY rarely got a mark on her she had a few bad ones but she tryed her little heart out..and being small i would often get a call from other keepers to put her in where theirs couldent/wouldent fit,,, and if working watery earths she would be neck deep in water baying lik

    Losing a life or getting lost as you put it is a far cry from spewing . You talk of dogs in the past tence .Tell me mate ,honestly have things changed so much in your kennels that you cant trust a dog to put in a 100% guaranteed performance .
  21. Squirrel_Basher
    I hour or 6 hours ,still no reason to doubt a dog to not put in another performance of the same.
  22. Squirrel_Basher
    Whats the difference .Im struggling with this thread that no one has bomb proof terriers on here.The more i read the less i want to write on here ffs
  23. Squirrel_Basher
    I thought Curran was well respected or am i missing something .
  24. Squirrel_Basher
    So none of you have a dog you could take anywhere and be 100% confident in .IM TALKING EARTH WORK NOT ROCKS BALES OR TREES before anyone pipes up .Sad state of affairs that .Some terriers dont inspire confidence but others dont deserve the doubt admitted on here .Sort your kennels out for the new year and bury the shite .
  25. Squirrel_Basher
    Like said ,do your hand feeding in the morning ,keep an eye on whats being eaten and adjust to suit and it will reduce the need to dog in by half .Better birds hanging round to glean the last than wondering full crop .Rake up straw regularly as old damp stuff not only harbours vermin but can create respiratory probs too .Run a few fenns to the side in the open ,covered obviously and never shoot vermin on the ride itself .This should be the area bids are most at ease .We used split maize ,wheat ,barley and sun flower seed mix but money was no object there .Keep the sides of the rides cut low or
