depends on how you wound the fox,a doberman should be fast enough a rottie maybe not advantage of both being that they a too big to follow to ground if he makes it that far.
-
i take it the fox was wounded and you followed it up with the dog? good job for being prepared and having a suitable dog to hand,got to get myself a long dog for that type of situation. get the wee terrier sorted out first and hope that my buddy has some pups next season. atb (just thought it might be best to clear up how it happened before someone picks it up who might not like it )

try letting them in the garden to exercise, then you can in betwween them ifit gets rough. at that age he will need to learn what social behavior is acceptable to other dogs and more importantly you. let him with the lakey under supervision i'm sure he won't stand for any crap and put him in his place. just don't be too far away!! once that is sorted let another dog out of the kennel and so on..... is the whippet x a softie or also young? it must be a pain breaking your head over quarters for the dogs. is the pup otherwise coming on well? atb bud

as i said i have never had/worked with beddys. the dogs in the pics don't look too big to me( or is the guy next to it exceptionally tall??) what are these dogs worked on? how is the stay on fox? i like the dogs looks,not sure about the hair do but there you go. any more workers about?
-
a mates teckel was mad for the broom. he would hang off it and get swung around! all good fun and exercise for the pair of you. where is the pup from? and how bred?
-
ive seen the ones which shoot a citrus jet, they are supposed to be ok( from trixie/carlie) not used one myself. good luck. i think its usual to fit a dummy for a while before using the real one.so the dog does not couple the collar to the reprimand for barking.if he does then you will find he will not bark with it on,but as soon as its off its back to old habits.this is the case with electro collars used in training by some. the dogs works like a demon with the collar and off he goes on his own without !!!! a good tool for training. at least the dog won't be pissed off at you for giving

A FEW OF MY PUP AFTER WORKING THE OIL SEED RAPE
waidmann replied to BRYKAY's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
love the pup mate. do you have more russels? not had this problem in rape but maize and to a lesser degree mustard would mess my lab/gsp up. i would give it a wipe down with tcp/dettol and let him get on with it( any trouble with the ears?). sounds as though she will be a cracker.do you work them to ground? -
ive no experiance of beddys or poodle for that matter( i know some poodle pointers,headstrong but good workers.) if the dogs are working in the style that suits you then go for it. you are better getting a pup from your mate than anybody else. as to being too big for ground work. the legs are not the problem its the span which would hinder the dog to earth.if the dog wants to he will!! all the best with the pup.

hope enoch is not showing predudice towards other coloured ferrets. not very pc if he is. great pics.

hi, i keep two jills in the living room. i clean them before work and when i get home. you do notice the smell when you come in,not a stink but a smell.when cleaned its fine. i keep them on newspaper with a corner litter tray and change the hammock every week. a plug in smelly thing in the living room and fanny is your aunt. i keep them clean of fleas.and do not bath them. its great having them in the house,the young terrier loves them( he does get bitten but is not bothered!) a good bit of exercise for the ferrets and pup when they are wrecking the living room of an evening and very
-
had the same problem when i took the young ferret out last weekend. i never noticed untill the jill was in. no problems with her but i had to get the net back with a swarm of pissed off wasps around me.( pulled them out,threw over a fence and was off!!) just glad the jill had no problems with them. there seem to be a lot about this year. all the best for the season lads and lassies.

weils disease is transfered by rat urine, either directly or in water. a mate got it while canoeing( took a gulp) lost around 3 stone and nearly killed him ( about 13 years ago) organs up the duff for a long time. he was a fit bloke. do all you can and if in doubt....... the horrible things rats and other animals can carry are scary ( sarcoptes/mange. leptospirose. bla bla) the dog may be innoculated,but you and the kids are probably not. wah the dog and keep him up to date on wormer/jabs/anti ectoparisite etc enjoy the sport and good luck

i have some 8x56 from eschenbach( i bought them from frankonia/kettner in germany) they have very good reviews in germany.i paid around 250 euro for them around 2 years ago. i must say the best night glass i have had untill now( you will see a big difference at night if you compare to zeiss etc). i looked at zeiss and swarowski,leica and opted for the cheaper glass( you can get a used car for the price of these) and i am happy with them. a freind of mine says " only the best is just good enough" but he is loaded and i'm tight! eschenbach is available through www.frankoniajagd.de they pr
-
as above. just keep the dog parasite free( spot on/frontline) fleas and ticks are not good on the kids either( apart from disease) jabs up to date. any bites/wounds disinfected( after washing the dog). i wouldn't let the kids at the dogs untill they are thoroughly calmed down. after a nap in the car is mostly fine. all the best in getting the wee ones to come with you mate, they will love it
-
cheers, just wanted confirmation. wouldn't want to tell the chap something and find out i'm wrong when the jill is up the duff thanks for the reply and sound advice.
-
cheers bud. as i thought this year should be ok. thanks
-
anyone?
-
hi all, i cannot find in my books the age at which a hob ( now 12 weeks) is able to line a jill. my mate has a hob and jill from me and already has a jill who is considerably older. he asks at which age he should seperate them. thanks.
-
i would say that depends on the dog. when she shows a healthy interest in rabbits and has the strength to dispatch one i would take her to watch others at work. if she shows willing and knows a rat then let her have a go. she should be fully innoculated in any case ( leptospirose etc). a rough estimate between six and eight months.try to start on smaller rats if possible. once again it depends on the dog( i've not owned a fell) when you think she has the power and is mentally ready take her for a look. don't push her too hard and she will love it. atb let us know how she gets on

no you bloody would not! i have worked and bred terriers and teckel in germany on fox,badger,boar and deer. the only show i have been to was for an assessment of my teckel for his paperwork. the breeding standard is important as a goal of the club. otherwise we would have border at 24 inch and 15 kg.
-
check the standard for the breed. ask a vet whether hereditory or not. i am saying I would not breed from this dog, or indeed my parson who also has one in the groin. ethicly the only reasonable choice. it must not mean that the pups have the same problem but the risk is higher. i am not telling him not too but saying that it is not what the breed needs( proven dog or not) and i know that this problem would exclude him from breeding if he were a teckel,jagdterrier,labrador, pointer or any of the german working breeds for that matter. you may and i'm sure given the opportunity will not hee

hi mushray. " most of them clowns" have more or less experiance in the dog world. whether as trainers/breeders or simple dog owners. us clowns( whom i consider myself one or more of the above) will add our opinions to posts put up to try and advise people of the right way to go on matters they cannot solve themselves.if they could they would not ask for advice on such a site( i am aware of the fact that the original post did not ask for advice but the service of a free stud dog). it seems the general consensus of opinion is NOT to breed from the dog for various reasons. you are quite right
-
i beg to differ mate. the dog( if the testical does not drop) is unsound and should not be bred from. we want healthy dogs for the task in hand. irrespective of ability the gene pool is not so tight that any responsible breeder will use a dog who is not top( see breed specific standards for all dogs. both testicals should be in the scrotum) if the dog should be a good worker then great,enjoy the dog. that does not mean you can overlook an insufficiancy and breed from him. it would not be fair to the breed or buyer.
-
keep your chin up mucker. the job will come good. all the best.
-
with the dog only having one ball i would not breed with him. IT IS HEREDITRY(or can be). the dog is not proven is he? if so on what? try reading the thread on testicular migration it may help. my dog has only one and will not be bred from( no matter how well he works).we owe it to the breed( and buyers of pups) to be honest and selective as to what we put to stud. overcome the will to PRODUCE PUPS and we can keep working dogs fit and able for the job.only the best is good enough no matter what breed.
