    I will say this -Every single dog that ive had ,seen work ,of any breed ,type has good olfactory senses .It goes hand in hand with work .Cant find ,cant work .You must learn to have a bit of patience when at a big place .We know nothing of what goes on once you release the terrier underground and to state otherwise is to purely guess . No two encounters are the same ,luckily and in case you havnt noticed, quarry smells different at different times of the year ,even to the human nose .What is needed in a terrier is perseverance ,somtimes confused with a lack of nose .A big place takes some wor

    Out yesterday morning ,first light to a place i recently shot a fox doing some damage .I figured the farmer owed me in the shape of a doe or two . Went straight to the usual spot that holds but nothing so a slow stalk of the boundary ,glassing very often .Spotted a brace of does along the railway fence that appeared to have been spooked by something behind them as they continuously looked over their shoulders .Anyway, this worked to my advantage as they were headed slowly my way and i had time to get staedy on the bipod .The ground was a bit undulating here and being lead down ,one minute t

    Should you feel the need for help at any time mate ,may i have first dibs please

    When threads go this way ,at least you can see who NOT to have a pup off in the future.Thankfully ,this side of the water ,we respect the dogs and quarry .For those spouting shite about having to start a terrier doubled up ,look at some of your own websites and you will see its thankfully not the norm.Why not try a dog on its own,surely this will sort out the better dogs so you can breed accordingly .

    Another this evening and more signs of the buggers in the sand outside .Keeps one hand in so to speak as i dont get to do much trapping these days .

    Nice going mate .Seeing is believing mate,damage wise .Nicely done .

    We mostly know what the ideal is but what annoying habits have you come across in an otherwise good dog .My pet hate is the dog [and yes i have had one ]that wants out of the dig as soon as you break through .She was a propper stayer but seemed to think it was over when the light hit her .The other thing is noise on the couples or when boxed in the truck ,does my head in . As for the good qualities ,goes without saying or they go .I rate finding without showing personally .

    My thoughts exactly mate .Laddet culture ,lol.Why cant girls be petite and only speak when spoken to like when i was a lad .You may be sticking up for what you believe but violence is not the answer .An old head on your shoulders teaches you that mind .

    So youd be happy with one of his pups would you mate .......................i thought not . Dosnt matter how you dress it up or defend it ,the mojority of genuine lads on here will have nothing to do with that sort of behaviour whether from across the pond or not .As for the warrener vids ,pathetic excuses for terriers and bad working practice that should leave the owners embarrasssed to say the least and all done in the name of fox control . To coyote hunter -Not calling you a liar ,just explaining that you may not have spent those 20 years wisely or learnt nothing from them. To those wh

    FOR ME ,THE MOAN HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH STUPID LAWS,ITS ALL ABOUT THE DOGS.THERE ISNT A QUARRY WORTH WORKING THAT CANT BE WORKED WITH ONE DOG .YOU JUST NEED THE RIGHT SORT . BAITING AT THE END OF A DIG IS NOT LEGAL IN ANY COUNTRY IM SURE AND DOES NOTHING FOR A YOUNGSTER AT ALL .SO BEFORE ANY OF YOU DEFEND THIS ,THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU EXPECT IN A TERRIER AND HOW YOU EXPECT PEOPLE TO ACT AT A DIG REGARDLESS OF QUARRY OR COUNTRY .IF INDEED THE LAD HAS 20 YEARS IN THE GAME HE HAS NOT SPENT THEM WISELY,IN GOOD COMPANY IF THATS TODAYS RESULT .PATHETIC ,HARD MAN BULLSHIT .NO JUSTIFICATION AT ALL .

    He may be a field sports vet but he is no terrierman and no doubt about that .Pulling a tail is not right .I have seen several dogs lives cut short by doing this but no harm with the leg pulling .Theory is one thing ,expe Isn't the tail so you can pull them by it too, if stuck? No its bloody not! Any more than YOUR ear isnt a handle for dragging you about! SO here we are again your comment no its bloody not, , OK lets just say you terrier to ground you have dug to it its locked on , so you need to despatch humanly the quarry being a pheasant killing fox, 1 do you call

    Those names we refer to ,and no need for lists ,are in the main geuine blokes.They have all done their bit for the working terrier .What happens is that those not capable of breeding anything good themselves try to find instant success by BUYING something which has the potential to be great .I know of none alive today that set out to breed a terrier with their name attached to it .Lads finding a particular mans breeding to their liking have attached the surname as a recognition of this fact . Lads with no other selling point than its breeding will use this to get rid of stuff and lets face it

    Probably get some stick for this but who cares .Ive shot hundreds of foxes with the .222 and wouldnt have thought theyd been any deader with the other two.Calibre in any live shooting ,as long its within the law is a personal choice and nothing more .Ive shot long ranges with the .222 as have plenty of others .Getting used to a rifle is what its about which some of you chop and changers never will .

    Just got off the phone to the g/dealer who explained that the vet had had a prelimenary look at the tumour and made an incission :sick: Her first thoughts are, and wait for it CALCIFICATION OF THE RENAL SECTION ,which in plain terms for you and me is a kidney stone .Im to monitor the carcasses from the area but not sure why or what would be the resulting find if i get another .I didnt speak to the vet mind but that was the g/d version . Her find was backed up by crystal like lumps on the outside of the tumour apparently .Ive had a kidney stone before and the pain was excruciating so this d

    One of my landowners phoned me recently and after a long chat about things in general ,he finally got round to mentioning that he'd lost 30 odd chickens in the week to a fox ! .I assured him i would have a look as i get the stalking free here on the back of the fox control .I know what your your thinking ,cant be doing a good job if the farmers lost that many chickens .Well those of you that know the game will also know that you cant be everywhere all the time so losses are bound to happen .The loss was in truth his fault as he never shut the chickens in that night and left it to a neighbour
