  1. what do you mean [ when it was here] we still hunt done 200 plus foxes this year out 3 time s a week . i think you are listening to much anti jargon
  2. my bedlingtons have always had one hell of anose on them , my bedlington/lakeland pup looks to be on the same track at 4 months he s scenting everything self enterd whilst out for awalk a couple of weeks ago i manged to grab his tail before he disapeared and pulled him out but he was mad to get back in the hole . there s pic of him on the workin bedlington thread mad chocolate mutt
  3. personal i would give it time i nearly gave up on my old bedlington and he clicked at 2 years i even kept it in a run with a 10 foot false earth attached and made him come though the earth to get his grub, turned into agood dog in the end por bugger dyed in a tunnel collapse {sandy soil}
  4. i have found over the years castration on dogs stems there drive i had a parsons russel that was just like yours but he fathered afew litters in his time the vet kept on about cancer etc and my missus used to massage his balls and they finalie drop when he was 3 and half and we lost him to ground not long after that. try the massaging ????
  5. Thanks lads you have confirmed my thinking iam sure hes just after the money bad enough payin for the op £270 just reminds me why i avoid vets , this vets anew one the one who had the practice before was agood old fashioned vet who was well into workin dogs nothin was to much trouble and didn t cost the earth. the pups are all doing well growing by the day looks to be a crackin litter, fingers crossed
  6. ask yourself if you are happy with your dog is it workin ok will it only get better? are you happy for it to sire pups would you realy be happy to have one of the pups, is the bitch proven ,how old is she? and the end of the day its your choice only bred from them if there proven line and are doing the biz if not don t bother buy a pup in from good stock it down to you mate
  7. any of you lads ever bred from a bitch thats had a c- section delivery before, all the years ive had dogs and bred a fair few litters ive never had to much of a problem with them the odd breech but nothing i couldnt sort out but my pats just had a litter and the first was breeched bad so it was a trip to the vet he done a c-section on her and we managed to save all 7 pups but he said i should have her speyed as she wont carry again it would be ashame as shes a good bitch from good lines i have spoken to a few boys about this and they have bred from bitches that have had surjury in the past but
  8. Fair play for leaving them id have done the same myself and if the dog had killed the vixen i would have hand reared them they got a 50-50 chance then as was said earlier there to many blood thirsty twats about posin as terriermen/ sportsmen but who am i to judge ??? i am out 3-4 time s aweek every week doing something with my dogs but you have to keep the balance, ive killed thousands of foxes over the years but i still respect them and love to sit and watch the cubs play.
  9. well chaps me and my mate run english bull/greyhound cross and they do everything for us from rabbits to red stags and anything in between. its horses for courses if it works for you then so be it
  10. NICE DOG WITH FEET LIKE THAT ILL BET HE WALKS ON WATER
  11. as the sayin goes OLD DOGS AND BOLD DOGS BUT NO OLD BOLD DOGS, over the years i have had a few give up but the one i pensioned off to mother will be 18 in june and will still have ago given the chance.as a rule if one gets to 9 hes done well most of my terriers dye before they get to 5-6 but they are worked hard and if they jib ill give them acouple of chances then out for pets or a lead injection
  12. SORRY TO HEAR IT MATE, HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN LAST YEAR STILL GUTTED WHEN THINKING IT

  16. good point Kane i happen to know one off these pricks hes ruined more good dogs than i can count
  17. SHOOT THE b*****ds ITS THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THEM. DEAD DOG THIEVES DON T STEAL!!!!!
  18. ILL SEE WHAT I CAN DO RE SOME PIC WE HAVE SOME SOMWHERE BUT IAM NOT ONE FOR FOR POSING AROUND WITH CAMERAS
  19. so far this year we have had 12 boar and all we use is a lakeland dog and 2 bull crosses the lakeland finds the boar and keeps them entertained while the lurchers hold the pig we get in and knife it just behind the front leg game over another one for the freezer, the lurchers do have a tendancy to rip the ears of the pigs and all this happens down in deepest somerset who needs a passport? its exelent sport
  20. Yep this was a good program, suprisingly considering the bbc made it they are normally anti bloodsport and anything to do with it
  21. Why Would you want to go to a KC show with a working dog surely if you want to work it then go to workin or hunt shows but you won t find many shows that have bedlington classes if you want a pet/show dog think more on the border lines if you want to stay with kc reg that is, my personal opion is the kennel club have ruined every terrier bred they have got there claws into be it bedlingtons ,fox terrier , JRT ,borders and the bull breeds,, the kennel club have alot to answer for. if i were you i would think long and hard on what you want this dog for show or work then decide what bred etc and
  22. Fare play to the pup dave he s got a nose on him then, well you now know for an earth when the pups right go and dig if it s shallow get in quick and let the dog see it before the dispatch don tlet him get knocked about though might put him off if he gets mauled on his first one , just get his confidence up. well done
  23. Dave get your hand s on an electric collar put the collar on the dog and forget it for a few days then turn it on and go for a wander around let the dog do as he usally does then when you are ready call him back if he come s all well and good if not call him twice or three time s then zap him with the full charge he will be back to you at 90 mph then praise him up repeat this afew times around hazards {stock swans etc ] then when hes got the idea just leave the collar on him and call him back as usual if you need to zap him turn the voltage down after 2-3 zaps they normally get message and sta
