  2. marking dog.

    in Earthdogs & Working Terriers

    Posted

    having a conversation the other day about dogs that Mark to ground. I have seen some lurcher that were spot on and would only mark Charlie and some that marked anything. in everyone's opinion what breed or breeding has the potential to be the best marking dog or what was the best you have seen. thanks

    hi all.

     

    currently got all my dogs living outside In kennels. in the evenings I have the one of the terrier pups Inside to sit infront of the fire on the couch. both are only 6 months at the moment. a friend says letting them inside is going to make them soft. does anyone have any opinions on this or experience with dogs inside vs outside? plan is for them to be dug to.

     

    thanks

    hi.

     

    looking to get some chequer plate boxes made up for the back of the truck. I have a dog box and draws so was wondering what the smallest dog box I could get away with was? I know it depends on the dogs. hoping 300 wide 450 deep and 450 tall.

     

    cheers 

     

    thanks

    Scorpion you are obviously green to terrier work, but we all started at sometime or other. Many of us don’t start our “pups” until 16 or 17 months preferring to hold them back. A pup matures an awful lot between 12 months and 2 years in their short life. Different animal between those ages. Have patience and leave them make their puppy mistakes for they are only kids at that age! There is far too much bravado in this game with people full of dismal wisdom that has been to the detriment of many a young prospect. Sometimes I think the dogs are more intelligent that than the lads holding the lead. Patience costs you nothing. Sometimes people at in far too much of a hurry to prove themselves right and they can’t be wrong when the dog is gone???? ?‍♂️

    hi. yes new to terrier work. been on a few digs with others but this is my first terrier of my own. like I said I don't want to rush her and I am conscious if ruining her early. I'll take the advice on here and keep her back till next season and try her again somewhere shallow. thanks all

    long post and also new to terrier work so please bear with me.

    I have a new to be terrier bitch. had her a couple of months and she should be 13 months old according to the bloke she's from.

    a friend of mine has been loosing lambs this week and asked if I wanted to try my bitch as it's a shallow place.

    we got there and he said his lurcher was marking, all be it a bit half hearted but he was pretty confident that there was someone home.

    collered her up and she went in fairly keen.

    few mins later we would hear her baying at .6 so thaught we were on. moving slightly so assumed she was digging on a bit to get to it.

     

    we were going to leave it 10 mins for her to settle before we started digging. next min mate shouts look up she's moving it might bolt with that she appeared and then went back. didn't hear anything more whilst she went through and when she came back out she wasn't keen to go back. no smell on her or marks.

     

    not sure what to think. I'm disappointed because I thaught she was on and I was chuffed but then it's her first entry and all she has seen is a dead red one.

     

    obviously I know not all dogs make it and I'm fine with doing the right thing if that's the case but at the same time I don't want to jump the gun and I want to give her a fair chance.

     

    I was going to leave her the summer and chain her at a few beginning of the season but I thaught i would try her seeing it was such a shallow place.

     

    one last thing is when we were leaving I cleared the hols of sticks and stuff and we found a dead lamb just inside the hole. didn't look dates so unsure if it was stuffed down there or if it was dragged there but mate said hopefully the lurcher wasn't smelling the lamb.

     

    opinions wanted no matter how brutal.

     

    thanks all and sorry again for the long post.
