    Really?.why not? Anything is a possibility. Some lurchers are tunnel vision and chase anything thats in the beam. If that terrier crosses the beam its a possibility that a lurcher could try and pick it up. Not worth trying it out. That would have to be one dumb fecking lurcher,do you own bull x types?.
  2. morton
    Yes,try and get a terrier thats capable.

    Id chip a big lump out of the cliffs at Dover then scratch a big fecking x on Susan Boyles doorstep,if they broke into her they would never covet another dog again.

    I find many a fox,especially around these parts,bolts before a terrier ever gets to it,some terriers thrive on these situations,another time the terrier will block the fox and then its terrier versus fox,then its shovel or dead fox,a useful fox working terrier will have the ability to draw the fox to a bolt,or finish it. Could just be a regional thing mate but could you explain a terrier drawing a fox to bolt ,not familiar with that . Few modern bred terriers have the knack of baiting and drawing a fox,stand off and the fox goes backwards,bait it and antagonise it and it will be drawn tow

    That mop will see more honest toil than the average Bullx bred and owned now .

    At times we all stray into our "pish take mode" even at the expense of what may have been a good thread,working lads humour and all that.

    The reality of terrierwork and terriermen is that some of them have the luxury to put a time limit on their season,others have to wait for the shooting season etc.,to finish before they are asked to enter certain land,or lose it.Hunting,especially with terriers is not the romantic pastime some would have you believe,at times.

    Id not have terriers bushing at night,its hard enough to keep control and eyes on in daylight,in some locations i could see the benefits,a risk to far for me though.

    I must be fortunate then as my Beddys are line bred and ive yet to produce an arse wipe. More power to your elbow Morton, dogs bred for purpose and working out, result. Any chance of any pics of the hybrids?? Got me intrigued now! Atb I don,t have a clue how to put up pics,if i did i still would not.

    Beddy/Greys can be the most honest and enthusiastic of lurchers if worked to their breeding and potential,as an allround type hunting companion i found that they lacked the next step up to become a tad more useful in the field.Id not own one expecting an allrounder,id own 2.

    Your smiling whilst sitting down,you can,t have done.

    Pour the cider down the sink and go to bed mucker.

    Impossible to tell from a pic,as many of the dog where higher on the leg then it may suggest bulk,that was seldom the case,very seldom.

    You don,t know Dean or Blod then.

    I just want a woman,or one that nearly looks like one,that my muckers don,t wish to farrow when left alone.

    Size mucker,modern terriers are far bulkier than their working heritage made them to be,Dales and Fell dogs were bred to work the terrain they were born to,thus size was paramount and big was useless,as was mute and full frontal.Lakey,s,Fells and black uns now are grafted away from their heritage and are nearly useless going back home,i find this an utter travesty that folk now recognise as the norm,modern norms are olden culls,for a very good reason.Fit for purpose is nothing to do with modern breeding or work ethic,it was the norm then.

    you were robed mate What in?, a little slinky outfit with matching earings or a robust and manly camouflaged two piece. K'inell I've got to go to bed on that thought of Ken and Lloydy in slinky outfits Each to their own mucker,im more Joe Brand.

    The reality of a terriers working life in some parts of the country,especially were the Fell,Border,Bedlington,Lakey etc. were founded was rocks was the mainstay of their working heritage and breeding,the same reality now that i have issue with is that the majority of these same terriers now are ill equipped to work the places they were bred for,their conformation and working character as been basterdised to suit a shovel,a collar and the average terrier worker about now,the majority of modern bred uns were culls not to long ago.

    Id not put a collar on a dog in rock,its not the collar that snags its the electronic pack and ive had dogs snagged because of it in rocks,it certainly restricts their ability to squeeze through the limits of their frame,at times.
  25. morton
    Some of the rocks ive put terriers in you never hear a muff,ever,You excavated until you did or waited.The amount of rock piles around here that are known by the time it took a dog to come out,4 day hold,9 and 10 day hold etc.These names have gone down through many generations of terrier folk,at times more modern.
