    He looks a cracker mate hows he bread??

    Thanks mate, he's of Wheeler blood but is one of the larger sized Patterdales that are bred now, usually I think they get the spade as too big for digging but he works well for me bushing, I get plenty of shit for him as it's not "proper" terrier work but he doesn't care so neither do I, he's never dropped in and as I've got a glass back I'm glad. Cheers.

  2. Looking good bryan, how are the runners fella hope they are all fit and well and how did the pup turn out good i hope. Was out for a mooch earlier only an hour or so as my terrier has come into season and so iv'e been told they are not supposed to over do it. She wasn't her usual self today she seemed to be a lot more laid back than usual mind you she did catch one so can't grumble. I think i'll leave

    it now till her season is over, it's a shame as it's a lovely time to be out and about with the dogs.. atb daywalker.

    Yes thanks the pup has come good, after her birth I was told by a vet to have the left rear leg amputated as no tendons or bones had formed properly, got a second opinion at 10 months old and told as she is in no pain let it ride and see how she goes, and walking she is abit clumsy looking as she hops on it but when she runs you wouldn't know there was a problem, she is catching on with the bushing and has caught a few so I'm happy, she give me 100% every time I take her out.

    Pics is from her first lure coursing trial and has now competed in competition, she's not going to set any records or win anything but she's running, cheers Bryan

  3. Bushing is hard physical graft for the terriers, I am asked all the time how I keep mine fit, how long does he do on a slatmill how far do I walk him, all I actually do with him is take him out and he bushes can't keep him out of it, no on off switch for him, and he goes everyday and would go all day aswell it would be no problem for him.

    We don't catch a great deal but if I take one or two on a mooch its great, I do it because I love to see all the dogs combine there skills that end with a catch.

  4. Well there's a thing, "the devil within" what you worried about, I think get yourself and your dogs to these shows and tell them what you do and why you do it, let people understand what goes on, how the law makes you jump through hoops for pest control, once people understand they might sympathise with what you are trying to achieve, I think once people see a half eaten sheep that had got stuck on its back still alive might be something to stick against anti's, just a different view on it.

    I'm bushing with a donkey sized Patterdale and has been good for us so far, been in the beating line a few times, works well with other dogs good nose on him, and despite his short coat he goes through cover well.

     

    I'm sure you've put this up before bryan, but I can't remember - how tall is he?

    He's 16"tts, enough leg to go all day, you can't seem to wear him out.

  7. I would give it a go mate, mine doesn't go to ground but he rats, ferrets, bushes and comes in the beating line with me, he works well with spaniels on the shoot and he bushes for my two runners, I have to say he gets plenty of exercise so he doesn't become bored, find the right dog and have a go mate, make it your own.
