    I think everyone on here will agree that putting a 3 or 4 month pup down a hole regardless of what species you hunt is a bit daft, but I recon most will start on rats first. I tend to start on rats about 8 months, then see how they mature but I wouldn't contemplate putting a dog to ground under 13 months, even then it would have to be an easy one.

    I live not far from the old Waterloo cup ground and they do the same driven shoots to keep coursers off, nobody can convince me that it doesn't effect hare numbers it does, theirs been a noticeable difference in hare numbers in this area to the point were I'm more likely to see a unicorn than a hare. And just to point out I've never had hare dogs so never went out looking for them, but pre ban you couldn't help but come across them.

    Theirs a saying that goes everyone knows everyone through 12 steps, or something along those lines, which basically means for instance I know someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows someone ect ect who knows Arnold swartzanegger. So if I can get to know arnie surly you can get to know the terrier man down the road!

    Who me? I'm not talking about replicating looks but attitude
  10. timmy k
    But aren't we trying to improve on what we have or at least replicate. It can't be achieved with mismatch breeding

    It's a bit of a bad argument comparing footballers or boxers kids to working bred animals. Is both the father and mother great boxers? probably not. we're their parents great boxers? Don't think so. We're they inbred to keep that boxing gene shining through? Only if they live in Wigan. These are all things I'd expect to see in a good terriers family tree and the very reason you've got a better chance of a good little grafter.

    I've never been one for looking for the deep digs, I'd much prefer a couple of 3 or 4 footers but every season your gonna hit a deep spot and when you do and you know for a fact it isn't a problem because the dogs been their before and proven itself, hard dog or not it should stay or don't breed. No ifs or buts

    Man o Kent that's why a lot of people like to see a dog/bitch being bred from with a good few seasons under their belt, that way if their worked regular enough they should of come across all sorts of different scenarios and if they shine throughout happy days, but again (and people may get bored of hearing this) it's all about honesty, honesty about the dogs performance and the honesty of the man who owns the dogs to give a truthful interpretation to all who wish to know

    I've got a lurcher that retrieves in the opposite direction, but I don't call it retrieving , I call it fooking off with its catch!

    Got to Agree their lukey them 2 hour dogs shouldn't be bred from, but I'll bet theirs plenty of people out their who's ground has never had holes deep/ sprawling or difficult enough for it to take 2 hours to reach the dog, yet because the dogs never failed in these earths is bred from. I suppose honesty is the key here and if the owner of such dogs was truthful he'd realise they weren't properly tested. I've heard that working terrier certificates were once issued and they turned out to be a bit of a farce, the best way to truly see the standard of your dogs is with people with no monetary gai

    But isn't that the risk of selling a dog, courtesy can go right out the window. And before anyone starts on me I'm just playing devils advocate and getting peoples opinions

    I've never met you fox dropper but your post come through as genuine and knowledgeable about both stalking and terriers, and I see your points on selling dogs, but if someone messaged you from this site asking for a pup would you give him one ( and no, I'm not asking for a pup but be careful how you answer or your inbox might get full very quick). I know how hard it can be to get decent stock, but I fell on my feet and got in with two lads who took me under their wing, shared dogs, permission and introduced me to other like minded people. Without these lads I would of had to of bought in, so I

    Have you shook of your life threatening man flu yet? In all seriousness the ox dog was in his youth a specimen of a animal with the grit and determination that unfortunately lead to his demise as a working dog, it would be a shame to lose the blood line that he's kept for ages, but times change and he wanted something different from his lurchers

    Ox is unfortunately like his owner, a great big homosexual.

    I've actually already got a collar and box but was planning on upgrading soon. The pieps boxes have come right down in price but my mates got one of them so fancied something different. Would he sell the pulse on its own?

    But you have to give him more time to negotiate the tubes or is it only my dogs that don't take a jack hammer with them. Again we're going off topic and I'm just trying to give the lad advise and perhaps leaving the dog a bit longer before reaching for the spade, but f**k it dig the dog as soon as it's made contact, I really couldn't give a shit
