    Only you can make the decision mate. I had a strong black dog who I would be confident of putting anywhere diggable and if he would stop end it then you d dig him . Good digs to . But if he had something he could nt keep up with on a loop in a rangey place he just could nt work it out and come out. You had to pick him up re enter him in a different part of the earth and hopefully he d find again. I gave him away and he was highly rated where he went and used at stud. I advised them not to use him but they ignored the advice as they had dug some stuff with him. But that was nt the point , the d

    So you walk to an area loose the terrier presumably with a location collar on. You walk endlessly round the wood or whatever area you are in. After spending all that time searching you get a bleep on the locator box to find the earth is under a huge rock seam or slab. You only keep dogs that stay till dug . So then what ?

    It s good that there s still younger lads coming through , but I watched a few lads out and noticed a few things that made me cringe . Maybe I’m set in my ways to much. First was dog in then box was on instantly. What’s the rush ? If the dogs worth it’s salt it s not going anywhere , give the dog plenty time. Digging on a bank and throwing the spoil down hill. Easier to back fill throwing it up hill. Last was scruffing dogs. It s my pet hate. The dogs worked for let’s say an hour or 2 or more. Then break through , scruff the dog and ram it back in terrier box. My oldest dogs nearly 14 now. We

    At the start you have to work with what you have. Hard , steady mixer, mute, bayer. As time goes on you can be selective in what you keep and want in a working terrier. As for people’s opinions bud I would nt fret to much. I learned years ago that 90 % of it is bollxxxs anyway. Look after your dogs enjoy your digging and let the idiots do their own thing.

    Nice dog Bradus. Bit heavy for me but still a nice animal. Is he a straight half cross
  14. jake824
    A first cross is a good general all round dog. Mine were 23 -24 inches all broke to stock and ferrets and were all rock steady with other dogs and out with terriers. Always try 100 % and never sulk when corrected. People have the opinion that they re only good for teeth and terriermans dogs. They re a hell of a lot more if bred and raised properly.

    Lovely looking bitch , a credit to him. My lads 12 and I got him his first lurcher that's a year old now. He had her out from a young pup and she sleeps on his bed which is a first as all my running dogs are kennelled. He play s football and she ll lie on his coat and watch him over the field. We lamp once or twice a week but we d do every night if it was up to him.
  16. jake824
    He s a lump for a first cross
  17. jake824
    Red bull and co codamol for me early feed for the dog in the morning then my Mrs puts grub in his kennel for when he gets back from lamping
  18. jake824
    Same here. A lot of terriers are nt socialised and trained properly though. I had a conversation with someone recently about bringing up young dogs and it was a nice change to hear someone who put time into pups .

    Hope all goes well

    A mate used my dog at 12 yr old to a 6 yr old bitch and she had a good strong healthy litter. If the dogs fit and healthy and is everything you like in a working terrier then use him mate.
  21. jake824
    What size is the bitch trunk ?
  22. jake824
    A long 23/24 inch half cross is a handy tool . As u say they don t look like what they are but with the right stuff in em they ll put some stuff away
  23. jake824
    Tell me about it. I must have been the talk of the street when we moved to where we are now. Tree s cut down kennels up , trucks with terriers lurcher s etc pulling up and having a cuppa . Ah well they got used to it.

    They were hard and the area I grew up in was rough but people were close knit and all us as kids all just walked in each other's houses and were fed and looked after. Out in the country it's different. People seem to keep more to themselves.

    I was born in the Black Country and moved away when I was in my twenties. I married a country girl and now if I go back and visit family my wife still struggles to understand what they re saying
