  1. Here in Italy the use of working terriers is very limited and I've only seen 2 breeds working:a large number of jagdterrier and a small number of russells,I've been said that someone is using patterdales but I've not seen any.So I'm allways interested in other breeds,I've seen that someone here is using Borders and I hope to get some information on them expecially on their Hunting stile, some pics will be great.hope someone can help me.
  2. I've not read the book even if I'm in Italy cos it cost to much.From what I've read from Stabs review it even talks of digging to porcupine,Well,I was banned from Edrd forum for sayng that here in Italy is a tradition to dig to them
  3. I'm really interested in that wheaton as i've never seen one.How are they big?How they work?have you got bigger photos? A lot of Questions :11:
  4. I've talked with my uncle on this argument this evening.He is now 75 and have hunted all his live.he talked me that when he was young they used to hunt big rock dens that are now included in regional protection area,and he and his mates used normally 3 dogs at the same time to try and bolt the quarry.Back then they all were farmers and quite poor so the loss of chickens or lambs was a hard blow,so it was their opinion to make it all to kill foxes,badgers and all other vermin.It's allways interesting to listen to old hunters they can teach you lots of things.
  5. beautifull dog mate.I like the long legged oneis that a pure breed?
  6. It's a common practice here in Italy expecilly while hunting bxxxxxx in real big dens
  7. looks as a real pocket battleship
  8. You are right Waz I used the wrong term :whistle: .My friend dog come out with a lot of cuts.I think they are not real fighters but they can defend themself and their teets look capable of doing some damage.
  9. Are there coypu(nutria) in England and have someone experienced hunting them with terriers.In France they hunt this giant rats with terriers as I've seen on the webfrence site.A friend of mine who owns hard jagdterriers experienced digging to nutrias here in Tuscany:the dog entered in a den on the banks of a snall river after some times a nutria bolted in the water and was shoot .when the dog come out he was horribly wounded :realmad: and a run to the vet was needed
  10. I can't understand what Canada wrote can someone help??
  11. looking on the forum it looks like there are not to many people using russells.Is up there someone still owning good working lines?.My own russel was breed here in Italy from german parents,looks like there are real good russells in germany.
  12. Really beautifull pup.what's her breeding?
  13. THANK for the replys m8s,I totally agree with you
  14. for minor wounds and small bites salt water to clean and iodio povidone(betadine)and if needed penicilline shots.Hunting boars you will have big wounds that sometimes can damage vital parts of the body allways run to the vet. sometimes boar wounds seem small and not dungerous but they can be deep and having pierced stomach or pneumos so better go to the vet any way.it's better to have the vet say"oh,it's nothing"then to see your dog die at home.
  15. I really like the look of the red dog,hope he do the job for you
  16. Nice pups,Socks.Its allways an interesting thing to observe a litter and the evolution of the pups.I've allways selected the most brave and interested innew things sometimes it worked other times not .As for real timid pups I've discarted them cos even with extra handiling the problem can be limited but it still be present
  17. but its no good for collies, i sell alot to horse owners and lads with terriers but its risky if you aint sure of the dogs breed. there is some stuff called permectum II which you can dilute and bath the dog in and whats left over you can place in a container to spray kennels and dogs later on, it kills all ticks and lice and mange mites <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why it's not good for collies?I've used it for years on my xbreed boardogs without problems
  18. I think there is nothing funny in this b*****d abusing kids and still being free cos of money. :realmad: I would like to have him in my hands for a few minutes
