    dogs off the right lines will easily kill a rat at 4 months i used to keep any litter of pups till 12 weeks old and would then try them on a rat and any that killed them without help id keep the others id give to mates and all the dogs i kept made the best dogs. might be just coincidence but its true. dont take this the wrong way but NO true terrierman refers to pups as babys its just not done as they are not babys and if treated like one will be ruined. im not saying he should expect it to kill the rats or not i dont no him or the dog but myself would expect a 4 month old to at least have a g

    no doubt your terriers were born game and "better" than all of the terriers i've ever owned and worked,no problem with that at all. we do have a difference of oppinion here bud, i would never consider entering a PUP of 12 weeks(just about weened if as you say you kept the litter to test for keepers). your last words made sense " the more you have to hold them back the better", sadly in the wrong context. out of this infamous litter how many did you keep? and how many dogs which did not" make the grade" were passed on?(this was the question i meant to be answeared). how many of those pups we

    if you can't see the problem with sending a 4 month old terrier to rats then you can't be helped bud seeing it and doing it all the time are different things, so which is it then? you didn't answear the questions in my previous reply, why is that? waidmann

    i would take the pup to watch mate (if its jabbed up properly). lt it see dead rats and what the grown terriers are doing he will get wound up and thats a good thing for next time. i can't stress too much the damage that can be done to "PUPPY" by pushing him in at the deep end.he may be eager but in no way ready for the job. its up to you mate its your dog. atb waidmann

    charlie hunter: there is a hell of a difference between 12 weeks and six months(at this age a terrier is normally fully teethed for a start). a terrier will need to develope both mentally and bodily to a certain extent before being entered on any quarry.that is not the case at 3 months(12 weeks) of age,nowhere near. i have had some experiance of terriers in my time but would not consider myself an expert by any means.i have bred and entered prt,teckel,jagd and fox terriers to rat,fox,badger,raccoon,pigs and deer.a bloody beginner would not entertain the idea of entering a pup at 12 weeks

    i would combine the above using a "check cord" or "hip lead" to take her to the birds she is interested in and holding the point/lay with her. if you have traps/cages you can release the bird and shoot( not at that bird but a dead one your helper has behind you which he throws out to be retrieved) that way you will always have sucsess and she will alwys be picking up(positive experiance). any birds she does not point will not be shot at(wild birds while free training) this way she will soon catch on that quarry can be bagged ONLY with you and ONLY when pointed out by her. it can take a while

    it will release the oil but cause no damage(my mate is a taxidermist in germany and does this to all of the skins he fleshes himself). i have done it with raccoon,fox,badger and pigs all were fine. they are preserved(hard skins). atb

    i would call the 9" terriers small and at 12"-13" normal sized but i'm no expert on patts(or much else for that matter ) they all have their uses if they have the heart for the job bud "its not the size of the boat,its the motion of the ocean" as my mrs says they are mostly around six-seven months as high as they will get,then they "fill out" a bit. let us know how it goes bud. atb waidmann

    a real bummer bud,its the worst that can happen imo. when a dog passes through work its hard,through "senselessness" is gutting( i've had a close call with a RED bitch,needless to say that gun never came out again!) i hope you can get close to filling the gap in your team bud,did she have a litter you could fall back on? i wish you all the best. waidmann

    i don't believe people would even consider letting a 12 week old pup on rats they can't even bloody chew a bone properly at that age. any decebt rat will bite the shit out of the pup possibly causing serious damage(nose,eyes,ears).this will either make or break the terrier(imho more likely to break them,the first thing a pup will do is drop on the quarry or paw it,and get his reward no doubt,then running to the next corner yelping for mommy). other than that the vaccinations a still VERY fresh. the act of dropping live caught rats should be looked up in the pinned section i think

    soak the skin in alchohol for a few days(2 weeks if you have the time) this will kill all of the beasties and get the fat looser to scrape off. if you can get some aulan it will stop any beetle larvae from eating the skin when dried. atb waidmann

    looks quite leggy in the last pic good wee bitch( i thought she must be tiny after seeing her next to the other two ). great stuff,hope you get loads more out of her bud waidmann

    helpfull indeed. there are not many i the uk bud. probably best off importing one if it has to be a jagd. what do you want it for?( that could be contrived as a dumb question i suppose,please do not reply "terrierwork"). atb waidmann

    definately a hormone problem imo. the birth,milk shooting in(no doubt if not feedng the young she will go mad just from that) etc etc. first priority has to be the kids bud. then i would get her to the vets and find out if they can help reduce the milk flow and poss sort out her hormones(poss testosterone?????). i doubt very much she will feed or accept the pups now. did they both get the first milk from her? (beastings) if not the maybe the vet can help with that too(as far as i know there is no substitute for that). how are the pups doing? i wish you the best of luck bud. waidmann

    i have an indoor ferret cage (galvinised steel) about 120x60x60. i think its for chinchilla/rat and is 1.5cm wire mesh. has a removable tray at the bottom with guard(so the little bleeders cant get out while cleaning ). its in top condition and i kept mt ferrets in there untill a couple of weeks ago (they are now outside in a hutch). it has a stand under it(black steel with wheels 6inch high). i want £45 for it or swap for something of similar value( they cost £90 new). i will post pics if anyone is interested. PICK UP ONLY IN TELFORD (shropshire,the midlands). thanks for

    if you can hit clays then get yourself out fot pigeons, that will better your shooting under pressure. practice at home with snap caps firing the gun while "pulling through"(follow the cornicing in the living room or something ). atb waidmann

    a semi is great foer pigeon,duck,geese etc.( a mate has one and its class to shoot) i use a s/s for everything bud get on better with them than o/u but thats just me i guess. waidmann

    put it on the teet she will either accept it or not bud.

    the problem being that they may see it and just don't care,its the same money for a duffer as a good dog. the responsible breeders will have lads coming back for a pup/stud all the time. puppy multipliers will only sell one dog to anyone with half a brain. as with anything else its down to trust. waidmann
