  1. If they all had the same work style it would get boring, each to their own, people like different types same as the motor they drive and then people need a certain type for the work they do, same as the motor.
  2. She may off had a bad day, if it never happened before I wouldn't right her off just yet, nobody knows what happens under the ground, they are not machines, like ourselves they can have an off day
  3. Was a good morning to be out with the dogs.
  4. That was a one off lads ,just for xmas, a honest working bitch, first and last, she like myself doesn't need publicity to say she can do a job, never see Pic from me again, thl when I joined was a good forum but lately it attracted people who only want to drag someone down or ruin a good thread. I have met and been in contact with with some good people over the years because of thl and enjoyed a lot of the threads on it but because of certain people I stopped posting on here and went again, I wish everyone a happy and prosperous year and keep working them dogs before its too late .
  5. Jambalaya this patterdale thread has been on a long time don't go spoiling it like every other thread you get involved in, crawl back under whatever stone you crawled out from.
  6. Thanks for having us up buddy,we will dig her daughter's next week when your down.
  7. As I said glyn there are men like yourself who have the dogs at heart but not all unfortunately are the same, I also like to know how my dogs are bred and what's behind them. Then there is the other side of the coin where names of dogs were plastered all over the and then pedigrees started appearing, made up pedigrees from names that were taken from here and from books and the sad thing is gullible people actually believe them to be true.
  8. I personally think the only reason people want pedigrees is for financial gain, nothing more nothing less. Some lads like to know the breeding behind their dogs but they are few and far between lately, in all the years I've been with terriers I have never witnessed it as bad.there was a time when dogs were gifted to like minded lads but now it's all about money. There was a friend of mine who used to come on here but got slated everytime he posted so he stopped. He had and has his own line of dogs about 30 years now and I have yet to see or hear of him asking money for a pup or service, but
  9. Lads it's like talking to a child,ABC and jambalaya and all them fucks won't listen and take head,might aswell be banging your head on a brick wall, I have tried to reason with one of them before and a waste of f***ing time even though I was telling the c**t the truth about how a certain dog was bred he still insisted the dog was bred differently, like trying to educate pork.
  10. Good dig lads and well done to the bitch ,looks to be nice digging
  11. Not knocking the dog but for a terrier that is supposed to have done so much he has a right pretty head on him.not a hair out of place and I don't give a f**k what anyone says a dog that's working close with its quarry does take injuries especially with bigger quarry.a lot of things that are written about these dogs are only hear say second hand information as the old saying goes paper won't refuse ink
  12. Stop end at his best what a load of white its only a few months back he done most of his digging to some show bred lakies that he let on to know all about same as the men in the pic He's a f***ing clown
  13. Stopend what would you know about digging dogs you haven't got any so stop bullshiting on here saying you have.bit like the lakelands and the men in the pic more nonsence run along and leave the digging to lads that actually do a bit.
  14. We'll done to the old bitch its hard to retire them especially if they are still fit and good to go.the dog in my avatar was still working away at 15 and was dug regularly he eventually died in his sleep front of the fire curled up in his basket have to say we had a hell of a lot of sport with that dog.
  15. You have dug over the grandson barney.
  16. Have to agree as I had the pleasure of having a 220 swift for a few years and they can do some damage.
  17. To be honest I don't really give a f**k how the fox was killed or if he dug the plummer if he is telling porkies then he is only lieing to himself if not then fair dews to the old bitch.
  18. Finished up last Sunday with 2 nice digs one to my old bitch at 1.6 and the 2nd to one of her daughters at 1metre.that's us done now until next august or so and dogs will have a good rest for the next few months.hope everyone's season went well.
  19. Always preferred bitchs to dogs as said harder to find good bitchs than dogs IMO anyway.I now have only 1 old dog in kennels even the gundogs are bitchs just my preference. I also think bitchs mature quicker to dogs and if from a hard line of terriers they tend to be a little more steadier than the dogs in the line.my two digging mates both keep dogs so we are sort of spoilt for choice so to speak.we finished up now for this season so all terriers will get a well deserved rest over the next few months and hopefully breed a litter as everything we have bar 2 are getting on a bit so fingers cros
  20. At least he was out and about wit the dog's doing a bit.I have dug terriers in places where there coats hold no clay dirt so what's the big deal people to quick to judge others and there dogs dig your own and be happy with what you have and never mind what others do.
  21. Any bitch from a non worker to a complete cur can produce a good if not outstanding worker as has happened some several times with different dogs but its to breed proven workers consistently litter after litter that's where breeding and know how come into practice.many years ago I had a dog who built himself quite a reputation as a digging dog but put to several good digging bitchs never produced anything worth mentioning and then on one occasion a man took his bitch to him to get a service just because he liked the look of the dog and this was a non hunting man and bitch actually I'd go as fa
  22. At the start of the season I had 4 bitchs1 was going 9 year old 2 going 7 and another going 4.my plan was to breed the old bitch mother to the other 3 and the youngest daughter but unfortunately I lost the young bitch and that has put a big dent in my kennels.now hopefully I will still breed the old bitch but will also have to breed 1 or both of the others as I can't rely on the old bitchholding or raring pups as last time she had 2 and both died.hopefully I will get at least 1 litter and pups will be split among g ourselves and the man who has the stud dog.its funny but by just losing g 1
  23. Had a bitch years ago that killed every fox. She was put to bar 2.this happened one morning while we were out and met a man with lurchers who told us he had ran 2 fox to ground in an earth we knew very we'll. We drove the 10 minutes to it and collered up the bitch and away she went.I was a bit wary as the earth seemed we'll pulled out so thought it might HD a different animal. We got a mark on the bitch and I could clearly hear her baying away something I had not heard her do before on fox.we broke through to her fairly qui k as it wasn't deep and she had 2 fox in front of her in 2 different
  24. Everyone to there own. I personally don't go beyond mid February for obvious reasons but I don't to answer to keepers or anyone else for that matter.I don't like digging pregnant vixon or cubs I think everything should have a season but like yourself some have a job to do or else lose there permission but others use it as an excuse just to carry on then when the season comes around again moan that they have no quarry about.good luck until you finish up anyway.
