    Yep so do I and never heard them called a falsy. I thought that was when a woman stuffed her bra. If any sort of underground lair holds a fox then it's an earth. So is somewhere that can't hold a fox a false one ???? Personally I don't know why anyone would bother. Even the worst bit of country has earths of some sort and those who do build artificials will tell you once a year is enough. I've bolted foxes out of them dozens of times, some of them being over a century old. But the hunts don't build them any more as they encourage poaching. The antis also love them as they can argue that, w

    I give a good 3 week before I go back on the same permo. Even if i let a dog sniff an entrance ill only check it again a few weeks later. The facts are around this area any known holding spot will often be visited by several folk in the same weekend.Another fact is it will be empty today and occupied tomorrow.

    I always have a terrier loose, I said A terrier, the rest would still be on the couples and it's a great way of finding new earths but it's rare for one terrier to put enough pressure on a fox to put him in. When a terrier does hit a line you'll usually see the fox trotting along in front of you and unless I've the lurcher with me he'll usually stay safe and stay on top. Foxes found to ground were usually there in the first place. Anyone using several terriers to put foxes to ground has not only got bad terriers but is also IMO cruel.

    I once had a terrier scratching at a hole at the base of a hollow tree. I was watching the terrier, who was only half interested, as if it was rabbits of something, and a grey squirrel ran down the tree, got past the terrier and went down the hole. The squirrel wasn't being hunted but still went to ground, passing a terrier in the process. The only thing I can think of is that the squirrel had young underground..

    It's true about the divining my old boss when I was landscaping showed me he'd find the drains ect before we got the digger in but he always said it was scientific ...his theory was its sound waves bit like radar changing the wavelength when your over somthing different wavelengths are different shapes somehow interacting with the rods. He said it always works better if your heavy footed divining is a strange one some scientist think its ideomotor movements which is muscle movements caused by subconscious mental activity that's how the explain Ouija board movements aswell It can't

    No apology needed. You're obviously very passionate about your choice of worker.

    I spent a half an hour on the phone yesterday to Toms son, he's a good friend of mine. You have totally mistaken what I'm saying. I'm not knocking any breed of terrier nor am I knocking any terriermen. Who I am knocking is those who contribute to any discussion on terriers by telling us that they had one years ago (it's usually toothless, blind and was still pulling out foxes and badgers at 16 years of age) and it would put modern terriers to shame. I'm not talking about the breed but the individual terrier that lads bring up in conversations that IMO either never existed or if they did

    It's amazing how any Irish man who was digging years ago you speak too had a small Jack Russell years ago that would have put ANY Fell terrier to shame with it's legendary ability to stay all day on the hardest of Foxes and Badgers. Where are they now ? dead..it was yrs ago..........our dogs run the streets back then nobody was thinking of lines you just bred em when you n yer mates wanted a pup. What I'm saying is if years ago there was brilliant little Jack Russells (in your words better than the black terriers of today) how come the lads who had them don't have any about them now

    You do know you made the easiest observation that's possible in the terrier game. There's lads in this game who take pride in getting pups off the best of breeding and try their best to make them quit. Only when they can say it wasn't good enough for them have they achieved their goal. Then there's the lads who ruin good ,game terriers through their own stupidity. Again, there's another line that produces curs. Any fool can find holes in any line, it's easy. It's so easy in fact that there's countless messers doing it every year, in every country all around the world. What a genuine lad

    "Not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog," BUT THAT'S THE WAY TO BET, is the other part of that old saying. Personally I think for terrierwork you should use the biggest terrier you can get away with.

    I've seen a chocolate bitch that came out of Newcastle and I'd say she was 8 or 9 lbs weight. She was small but her heart was as big as my local church. Even though she was in hunt service and I probably dug to her over 100 times I was never happy digging to her (and I still have a scar on my hand after crowning in on her one day) and always knew she would have no choice but to throw in the towel, which she did in her 3rd season.

    From reading various posts mate i think you have your fair share of dreamers over there too and the black dog, whilst mine and yours preference is just a colour .To write off another breed in another mans yard is foolhardy. Good and bad in all of them mate as im sure you are aware .Maybe I'm wrong but when I know what I know and I see what I see with my own two eyes I'd like to think I could walk away from most yards with a fairly good opinion on a man and his dogs.Regarding dreaming ? I dream of sexy women but when awake I think of little else other than hunting. The same as most terrierme

    So it should, but keep your friends close and your enemies even closer.

    http://banbloodsports.com/ln170111.htm I do feel sorry for those animals who might really need help but the antis throw that much bullshit around I'm not surprised that those who write the cheques take them with a pinch of salt.

    Green Lurchers, it looks like you've made up your mind and are going for it. Bit of advice, from your description of this lovely lady it might be no harm to tie a scaffold plank across your arse to stop you falling in.

    I've always wondered why the fell terrier is not used over whippets instead on the poodle hybrid known as the bedlington. The mother of my first every lurcher was a black fell X whippet and she looked just like a black whippet. And FD we mightn't be Gods but we do tend to be realistic when it comes to raising pups that have a good chance of making the grade. Hence the reason Beddies, Plummers and Borders are scarce in Ireland. We let the dreaming be done over your side.
