  1. in a word NO. Three hours and half a dozen rabbits. there was a few bolters but most where young uns skipping through the nets. and a wee women bringing tea out asking how many now every half hour.
  2. cant remember when that was jamie. but i do pest jobs all year round. have one just now thats a faeckin pain. if the lad had phoned two months ago it would have been a good number now its just a pain in the arse. i dont like hunting in the summer Sassy
  3. i woud opt for a second hand DSLR. you can add lenses as you need and when you can afford. canon or nikon. get the best rep
  4. looks a nice wee type when photographing a terrier it helps to get a better picture if you get down low. gives a better perspective. hope your dog does al you need it to
  5. ive sat quietly tucked downwind. with a terrier by my side waiting for the net to stretch on more than one occasion. so thats my colours nailed to the mast .

    when i came on the web years ago. i did a fair bit with a spade and it used to have a nice shine on it due to plenty of use. i'm now thinking of changing my username to rustyshovel.
  7. i have two dogs that go ferreting one a plummer terrier and the other a whippet/terrier cross. definately much more fun with the dogs.
  8. SO TO SUM UP. THERE IS ROOM FOR ALL TYPES AND WORKSTYLES. AS LONG AS YOU KEEP THEM SEPERATE. i would ike to add i have a massive admiration for a good stay all day digging dog. i just dont have the use for one and wouldnt do it justice.
  9. because black dogs are generally mute ..well mines are. :tongue2: mine is a chocolate rough hiared biche is it french ???
  10. its a jack russell if you want it to be mate the word jack russell covers all sorts of terriers and crosses. generally mostly white but not allways the case. a better picture woud help. but at the end of the day doe's it really matter? get it out and work it. and then you will see its worth
  11. as in title. large size. retails at £170. real nice jacket this will sell for £50 or swap. for what have ya. pm. scotland
  12. if a terrier is standing two feet off the fox then it aint a good boting dog. as a fair persentage of foxes take a little persuading to shift em. the best bolting dogs ive seen get close to the fox and fence with it. i agree with foxdropper that they have a fear of the fox. and thats how they take less punishment. its my opinion that some foxes will bolt long before a terrier gets up to them. these foxes will bolt just as quick with whatever terrier you fancy putting in. unless that is. they feel for some reason they will be safer taking their chances below. i think probably the biggest differ
  13. is there somewhere you can purchase seasoned sticks. as i dont think ive two years left in me
  14. i need two terriers and a lurcher.but have double that. to carry pups pensioners
  15. THERE IS A PLACE FOR AL TYPES AND AL WORKSTYES SHOULD BE BRED FOR Sorry mate but i couldnt agree less .Ive seen good lines ruined by professional terriermen that require bolting ,20 minute wonder dogs and from men that should know better .Bolting dogs CAN be created but to the detriment of the worker as a whole .I fully understand the work of a terrierman past and present but hate to see a good digging line used for these purposes .If its a bolter you want then get a russel ,lol . The dog that has this disposition is, im afraid to say ,scared of the fox and gives him enou

HAPPY DAYS
  18. good luck to the happy couple. kates ma would get it :kiss:
  19. as usual theirs ony one type of terrier on the face of the earth worth breeding off a good bolting terrier is worth its weight in gold. if i was a digging man i wouldnt put bolting types through my dogs either. but if you like a good bolt then surely thats what you want. and should breed for those qualities. . i woud define a bolting terrier as a dog that gets a higher percentage of foxes to bolt. this type of terrier is usually a cull to the diehard digging lads.but then a good digging dog is nine times out of ten a pain in the arse to someone who wants a quick bolt and the fox on top asap.
  20. the problem with concrete runs is usually poor grade concrete. anyone thinking of doing a run. make sure you use a high cement content mix. make sure and bring plenty of cream up when laying it and put a lot of time into finishing either powerfloat or hand float till you can see your face in it this will seal the surface and make it more durable. give your runs a decent depth of concrete and make it even through the whole run. there is no point putting down a couple of inches. you would be as well useing pre cast slabs. give the concrete a good run off into the drain and sweeten up the l
