box or collar could fail at anytime though how would you no if you aint done much digging because unlike you i aint stupid and know you can never rely on something that is electrical and is powered by batteries ever had this happen to you after checking your kit befor entering a dog ? Anything can happen when there under the ground,interference from power lines or the collar gets bit through which has happened me a couple of times.

READ THE POSTS.How could we have better quality because of the technology when a dog is located in five minutes. maybe so but to waste a full day on locating a dog and then digging him out equals one dog one dig th elocator now gives the chance for multiple digs in a day therefore the dogs are getting more game and in my eyes better tested the so called heroic old time digging men where nine times out of ten digging multiple dogs FACT Hunt could you explain how a dog in the ground for an hour is better tested than a dog thats in the ground all day,in my mind its time in the ground that te

fat man replied to martnmagik's topic in Working Dog Health & Training Talk
Did you not realise the bitch was in use,i had a lakeland bitch that would scale a 8ft chainlink fence to get to a dog when she was in use.Cant blame the mongeral you should have took more notice of your bitch,not having a go,and f**k me them vet charges are mad,its about 20euro here. fair comment mate i did know she was in use but my back was turned for less than 5 mins while i got some meat out the fridge.......and was the last thing i expected to happen especially in my yard that is hard enough for me to get into when ive locked myself out let alone a dog Ive often heard it said,sex -

When will everyone start for this coming season.We will start geting out in the next couple of weeks to get young terriers started,i know its still very warm but we cant change the weather.Then the older experienced dogs are out from september onwards.

Remember seeing that,she would not feed up until the male lion took the calf,then the lionness started to feed again.

Nice pics fish,but i think the wild should be left in the wild,not having a go jmho.

Box or collar can f**k up when the dog is in the ground through no ones fault.I have had collars bitten through and stop working.I once had a terrier to ground ride up beside a sub station and could get no signal at all,just constant tearing on the locator.I dug for many years without locator,would not dream of it now but would still like to think if it failed i could get to the terrier.

Will keep eyes and ears open in the westmeath area,know how it feels bud,hope you get it back. -
I know the terriers i use will not give a fox respect so they wont mix it for long,if they get to it they will take hold and thats the end of it.I wont keep a bayer type,and i also think a terrier should be well capable of dealing with fox.As a very experienced terrier man said to me last week,the only reason a terrier bays a fox is that its afraid of it.Was he right,well would the same terrier bay at a rabbit or rat,i dont think it would so there has to be some logic to his theory.

I would call that a real bonus and put hounds back in to try for another,lol.

I had a kerrybluexgh,very good on fox and bigger game,but he wanted to kill everything he seen,including people,when he had hold of a fox you would want your wits about you when trying to take it of him,lol he was a mad b*****d.

Sorry about your dog,but as the saying goes shit happens.Lunita are you trying to give ireland a bad name.

DHXGH ALSO WHEATONXGH,AND A GOOD FEW YEAR AGO I HAD A VERY GOOD IRISH TERRIERXGH THAT WOULD TAKE THEM FOR SPORT.
-
I would say the hardest bit of graft that bitch has done was whelping them pups,ffs.

Could be all down to what your feeding her,i find that meal or nuts do run them.I feed raw fresh tripe and red meat and they produce a good solid empty out everytime.

Have'nt used that in awhile neil too hard to get now,but i do like to fish after dark,lake all to myself lol.
