We out on Sunday past again and had 2 digs to a mates dogs so all going well so far.

Lozzer would you work your dogs without a locating collar on.I understand that blaise has to as its the law for some strange reason but why there is such a law is beyond me.would it not make more sence to put the dogs safety first and use a locater.I worked terriers for some years without but they we're not about at the time but soon as they came on scene I made it my business to get one. The whole point in working terriers is to reach them as quickly and safely as you can but by dropping holes all over not alone are you f***ing up a good earth but you are also putting your dogs life on the li

Money root to all evil but as has been said people starting to cop on now that they are not getting the real deal with pups turning out shit and so on so the trade for these dogs is starting to slow big time. How many that say they have that line of dogs can prove it with ear tattoo and micro chip straight from ac yard not too f***ing many. Some may have his blood line in their dogs but he did not breed them and still his name is used as a sale pitch.

The terriers and terriermen of Ireland!
fat man replied to DigDeepIRL's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
The working of terriers in Ireland has gone too money mad I reckon. I can remember a time when almost everyone in the game was willing to gift a pup or help a lad out but not anymore there is so much jealousy in the game now that the fun is gone out of it. I used to dig with lads from all over and if a dog worked we'll everyone was happy but if a dog failed we'll you just carried on regardless but nowadays some lads would love to see other lads dogs f**k up. I like to see other men's dogs work as it gets boring digging your own all the time so something different is a nice change. Their was so- 101 replies

fat man replied to DigDeepIRL's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
Now that's real good coming from you.I have told you over and over again that the ped you have for your pup is total bullshit and you then turn about and call me a liar. Some of the lads on here know exactly what I have bred in the last 3 years from my dogs which comes to 3 pups 2 of which were given away and 1 bitch which is still with me. My advice to you would be forget abound the PEDs and just enjoy your dogs and if you don't want to do that then go to the chap who bred your pup and let him give you the proper led and leave me out of it thanks.as for us working our dogs what would you actu -

Con man of the highest order but what I can't understand is how did he get away with it time and time again from the so called border terrier club he started and robbed lads blind to the present day.I will say one thing for him he has a neck but when I had our little dispute you would be surprised at some of the lads that stuck up for him but in hindsight I really wasn't I should have known. -

fat man replied to DigDeepIRL's topic in Earthdogs & Working Terriers
He actually had a magazine on the go near enough same time as the book was been done countrywise I think was the title to it just out of curiosity did all who subscribed actually get their copies. He also got a black terrier gifted to him I believe here in Ireland and low and behold a couple of months later on his website which also was called countryside he had started his very own line of black dogs which lasted about a year and then it was Russell's jb is a con man no more no less and a lot of lads fell for his bullshit.I disagreed with him on a subject on his website and because I would no -

Wrote by a man who wouldn't no a decent terrier if it bit him on the are.he seen one mans dog work once while over here and suddenly it was the best working terrier in Ireland and that's not having a go at the man that owned the dog as he told me himself it was a stupid thing to print.bluck did not give to flying fucks about any man in that book all he was in it for like every other scam he started was money end off. -
What if the original owner refuses to let you take a swab from either parents say 6 months down the line

Lol stop end sussed again for what he really is a spoof even lads that know him all his life say he's a messer not a dog man everyone can't be wrong.

The pic you put up not that very long ago stop end of a lurched drawing was that for historical or educational purposes lol talk about stones in glass houses.

The thing about giving someone a service is if the litter works then it was a good choice but if not its always the dog that is branded a cur even though it may have produced with a different bitch its never the bitch thats to blame.then the dog even though he is a proven worker gets a bad rep and so on. Keep it tight among mates and you won't go too far wrong.

Cream used on a cows teat for mastitis is good I use it on both the terriers and the gundogs works well and easily obtained.

When he had that site of his own I disagreed with him on a certain topic and he spat the dummy straight away banning me from the site mind you a few lads I know stuck up for him but then again they were been made famous in the book.

I personally prefer bitchs to dogs and always have. I have at present 4 reliable bitchs and 1 old fell type dog.I think and its only my opinion that good digging bitchs are way harder come by than dogs. I've often hear lads chatting about this dog and that dog but very rarely do you hear about good bitchs and I also believe that their should be no difference work wise between both dogs maybe a bit stronger but one should be as eager as the other to get a job done some will disagree but that's my take on it.

Probably would have ran them on as we had very little at the time and as they were kept among ourselves if they didn't work out that was that and they be going no further.

I'm not exactly with you on what you wrote I don't know which bitch your talking about. I have only bred the one bitch and as I said she is gone 8 year old and has never let me down.
