    There can be some good well ran working terrier and lurcher shows.I dont go near too many,but went to one local to me last year.It was the WESTMEATH HOUNDS WORKING TERRIER AND LURCHER SHOW and i have to give credit where credit is due and say that at least 90% 0f terriers on view were workers and easy to see that they were worked.From what i heard the judge mr john park said that it was the best display of black dogs he had seen in a long time.Its the big shows that are a fcuk up,you wont see too many workers at them.

    I have both in kennells at present.The wheatonxlakeland is 3quarter lakey quarter wheaton and was a very good dog but age has caught up with him and he is now retired.A very hard dog in his day,never let us down and well able to reach his quarry.the bullx is a straight staffxpatterdale and is working very well,a bit on the hard side but that never bothered me,as long as they find and stay i dont mind what way they are bred or how they work.His sire was a well and truly tested patt dog bout 9 year old and the dam is a small staff bitch that when given the chance works her heart out.As for which

    Still better to get her sorted could affect her true time.

    Agood working border is hard to beat,pity the show fraternity had to nearly destroy the breed,very hard to get proper working borders now.

    Wait till the dog serves the bitch and if he does then wait till she has the pups if she does,not everything goes to plan,you know the sayingDONT COUNT YOUR CHICKENS TILL THEY HATCH.

    Anyone on here ever see a big blue dog called WHISTLE belonging to ts from westmeath,i think he was bred by jy also westmeath who was a friend of pk so could have pk breeding in it.He was a big deerhound type or looked like he was bred that way but was a demon on hares,and could go for ever.

    Ask and you shall recieve,too many dont ask and go on land regardless of what the owner says and eventually get themselves ran along with lads that have permission because the farmer is pissed with the whole lot,and the easiest way is to stop everyone from goin on the land.

    Your right TM not worth an arguement,my dogs wont mark rabbit cause i dont hunt the fcukers,anyway its his fcuking pup let him do as he pleases,atb

    Proper terriers are bred to work all quarry is a load of bollocks,if i wanted rabbits i would get a fcuking ferret.Round me there is rabbit warrens as big and deep as any fox earth,would'nt like to have to dig 6ft to a rabbit.Its your pup do as you will but if it was mine def keep it away from the bunnies.

    To be honest id try her at both cant see why she cant unless anyone thinks diffrent Bushing for rabbits is good crack,but when your bitch starts going to ground on them its a pain in the arse espesially if your out foxing,keep her away from them try her at rats she wont get to ground on them.jmho.

    To make it worth £500 it would depend on what its workin and why its for sale in the first place.I know most of the diging lads i know would not sell a good worker,so you would have to get a good trial period with the dog to see is there any faults and to see does it suit meet your expectations and then if your happy and have the cash to spare then its up to you.Remember 1 or 2 digs is not a trial ive seen dogs jack after 4 or 5 digs,also you pick the earths you are gona dig to it in nice testing ones.
  18. fat man
    DS are you gona use her for bushing or diging,if for diging i would keep her away from the bunnies atb.

    Dont we always look after ye city slickers,not like your last diggin buddy,he was a greedy git.

    I fish from the 1st of march,have some of the best wild brown trout lakes in ireland on my doorstep.

    I would personally prefer bitch's to dogs.I think they mature earlier and dont tend to be as head strong as dogs.They also normally a handier size,but as a few have said hard to get a real good one.

    Have to agree with liam earth dogs that kill brock to ground are few and far between.As liam said a lot of lads have said they dug to a dead badger and give the terrier the credit but most would have smothered from just gettin dug in.

    That was a very good dig without locater,fair play,how long did it take to locate dog and did ye get a result at the end.That looks about 10ft you must have great hearing or the terrier in question had some voice on him.Dug maybe 6to7ft a few times years back without locater to a brilliant sounder who could mix it aswell.These days im like my old dog half deaf an half blind,thank god for locaters.
  24. fat man
    How many lads on here have actually dug to terriers before the locater,and il bet there's a lot that never have unless a collar or locater has f****d up.They were a great invention many the good dog was lost to ground before they were used.Some will say a terrier is not tested because of the locater but i say better to dig 8ft and have your dog out in a couple of hours than to be lieing on the sod listening for any sound for hours before even diging and at the end maybe a dead dog.Idug for maybe 10year pre locater but not anymore.
  25. fat man
    Theres even plenty about these days that would not last one dig even with locater on,but pre ban and pre locater it had to be a terrier that sounded a lot or else too hard to locate a hard dog was of limited use maybe to finish a job in an awkward place but little else.
