What a c**t

Had this old Bulldog for years now and used it for work as well as out with the dogs.Got my pal to shorten the shaft down to 18" which makes a massive difference when you start getting down there.

I know going back to the late 80s I saw just as many dickheads with shit dogs as there is still probably about these days and it probably wasnt any different back on the 70s 60s or 50s

If a well bred pup gets plenty of time out in the country running about and hunting up and learning to use its nose it should ne able to enter on its own without needing to ne tied up on an earth listening to another dog working. ive had and seen plenty do it Ive even had them surprise me and do it before i thought they would.

Or maybe youve just never had a goodun

The good ones do.In fact they normally need holding back.

Exactly anymore than 2 or at the most 3 digs in a day and they aint much of a dig.If your getting 5 digs in a day theyre only gunna be puppy jobs and if i was getting them sort of digs id be expecting an experienced dog to be going again not be needing 5 dogs.

Ive only ever needed 2 workers if they were truly any good as id always be out with a mate or 2 who'd also have dogs that needed work.Id sooner be short of a dog on the very odd occasion during the season because both eould be needing a rest than have dogs in the kennels not getting the work they needed.

You know its true though thats why you dont keep too many.When they really are good you dont need a truck full.

I always makes me laugh when you see lads at shows with 1/2 a dozen or more terriers claiming that theyre all good workers.I bet there isnt more than a handful of lads in the uk that can find enough work for 6 terriers let alone enough work to find out if they're good.

Still peddleing anything he can.He reckoned he was dieing and only had a few years to live 20years ago.

I can see why you're a scaffolder.

True but the fact of the matter is it happens especially in areas that are keepered and known for getting hammered by lurcher lads.

Plenty near me.Every year the dogs kill a few myxi ones but it never seems to really take hold and wipe them out -
Its not just police shepherds mate.Theres lots of security dogs and sport dogs that will do the same.All they know in training is the decoy/helper runs off down the field cracking his whip holding his arm in the air then when the dog gets a mouthful of sleeve it gets a little fight which in reality is acting like a reward for getting the bite anyway.Youd be surprised how many dogs will back down if they are given a fight before they actually get the bite,some dont even need to be fought Just certain body languge ,an environmental situation or equipment that they've never witnessed before is en

It was funny to hear lads the week before saying what their dogs were gunna do and how hardcore they'd been training.Only to see them a week later walking off the field heads down dragging their dogs behind them with their tails up their arses.

I was there that year.That was a very rare dobe and very impresive.My pal came second to it with his old dog that i put a pic up of a few days ago when the dog was 8/9 years old.Them lads dont half give them gold class dogs some stick but to be fair if i was gunna do a few of the jobs my pal does id want to know my dog had been fully tested the was his have and that their arses wernt gunna fall out.

Theres a group of German lads come and put on a trial over here once a year and they have a no photos or video's rule.At least for the gold class that gets pretty rough at times.Funnily.enough ive never seen a shepherd do anyrhing in the gold class it always seems to be bull blooded or presa type dogs with a higher fight drive that seem to do well.In fact ive seen the main guy run shepheds off the field and back to their vans a couplle of times.

I know of several guys in the security/eviction industry that have at least one dog that are exactly the same as the above dog.A lot of the normal jobs they do a shepherd that barks may be enough but where the earn the good money is taking jobs where you dont want to be relying on people dropping to their knees because a shepherd has barked at them.I personally wouldnt want to own or have the responsibly of a dog like that but then i dont work or put myself in some of the situations that these fellas do.But if i was going to go to work in some of the situations some of the lads ive trained wit
