    And it will catch a lot more as one thing ive noticed with the few bull/whippets ive seen is they lack any serious pace when compared to a decent bull/greyhound

    I think you could be right mate ive not really took a lot of notice of the knpv stuff.I know a couple of lads whove been out a done some decoying a few times and some of the training techniques them Dutch lot use are f****d up to say the least.

    A good decoy would have caught the dog so at the point the dog made contact the decoy would have already been turning 180degrees so taking the impact out of it rather than just walking forward with his arm up rigid so they just slam into each other.Doing it the way he did it is the quickest way to injure a dog or actually put it off of hitting hard.

    Seen plenty of dogs hit that hard.The decoy doing a really shit job made the dog look much more impressive.If he'd have caught the dog correctly hed of stayed on his feet and run less of a risk of injuring the dog.

    Dont think they lived up to the sales pitch.

    If they're at the right age and been brought on properly and got anything about them they shouldnt need it.

    Exactly.Aint that why we try our hardest to breed from generations of the best dogs possible.So its in their blood to work.If you feel you have to tie them out on digs,show them stop ends or let them rag carcass after carcass maybe its time to either look at the stock you keep or the way you rear/socialise your pups.

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

    Shaved heads and earrings.

    Brian plummer was right.Just a load of bloody thugs.

    Whats in her mix

    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
