Good looking dog uru. I hear alot about nuttal and how the quality of his dogs has gone down. But I've also heard that the working ability is still coming from his yard. People speak in a disappointed tone about the man but I ain't seeing many other types of patterdale than gould and nuttal being shown off. America has alot of different types of hunting and if nuttal can produce the right type for an area... power to him. Tiny dogs aren't the common out here though. Uru's looks the type enough! Good luck with him.

that's an entire season's worth of coon out this way. G2G Nothing better than young dogs getting going. We've been giving some very light work to some of our young ones. Nothing more fun.

If your dogs are an outcross and then bred brother to sister there is no other breeding that will give you more diversity in a litter. Recessives and dominants can all come out. Cheesy example but the real popular breed cross is the lab with the poodle - so called labradoodle. When you do a first cross you will get dogs that look very similar. The dominant traits align to create a litter of similar confirmation. When you then breed the brothers to sisters of that cross you will see a wide variety of types with qualities from both the lab and the poodle in varying degrees. Coats could be smooth

Doc, You have shown yourself to be no better than a schoolyard bully. You attempt to promote yourself as an authority over other hunters and members of this board through rude language and open ended threatening statements. You are represantative of a group that plagues the hunting world like a cancer. This group creates a set of unwritten laws and expects all others to live by these fabricated morals. Those who do not live by these rules or promote these ideals are slandered and belittled. You and your kind are the most eminent danger to the dog-mans way of life and the future thereof. Y

surely if its a good dog in the hands of a clown, itll end up a shit dog reddawn. I seriously believe that who raises the dog matters when it comes to it reaching it's potential. However, a dog that is worth buying should show it's stuff and should perform to a certain standard. Unless it is being beaten by the guy who is trying it, I don't see why it should fail to perform. Other than being beaten or poor health I am having a hard time thinking of any reason a good dog could be "ruined" within a trial period. The dog I recently tried I believe may have made something if he had been

I've got shy dogs that are great workers. Some won't be picked up by others or go near someone they don't know but I have leant my dog that is most like that to people before. They lead him to where he needs to do the job he does it. They get him off the game. They don't need him to want to come to them. Yes I have seen dogs that take a few days to acclimate. You take them out a few days they don't go. But it shouldn't take weeks. It just should not. I haven't seen it take longer than a week with a bit spent with the dog each night working with it in the yard for it to become what it will with

If you liked how he did keep trying him. If not, why waste time. I tried a dog a while back. He consistently did terribly. I just couldn't believe how terrible it was. No dog that bad should have been offered to another hunter. I gave him several more tries, nothing changed. Fact is, it doesn't matter who is working the dog, if it's good it's good. As far as no good dog being sold, I wouldn't say that never happens. Sometimes a dog just isn't the style one hunter wants.

Had two litters this year. 9 pups in all only one male. I was breeding to get a bitch and damned if I didn't get bitches. I have heard it depends on when you put the male over the bitch. You get more bitches if you breed early in the heat and then leave her without a breeding the rest of the time. Supposedly the x chromosomed sperm out live the y. So when you breed a bitch before the eggs have actually dropped and are ready for fertilizing the y-chromosome sperm die off and all that's left is x-chromosomes when fertilizing happens. May be a wives' tale but it worked when I did it.

Sounds like she's just for brushing. Just a boys first dog. I think it being handleable is probably what's most important to the kid.
-
Most dogs even bred by hunters are only so so I have found. I'd try one if they were local. I only know of one guy in america who has been said to own two good ones. Not much of a pot to choose from.
-
By the way... these kids ragging on eachother may be real but my buddies and I used to get onto the big game hound hunting sites for we americans and would start all sorts of fights instigating eachother just for fun. Both of us got booted from coonhound central. ha ha

Nice. I used to brush for stuff like that with an air rifle and all. Get yourself a rig set up with a bicycle hitched with a gun rack on the handle bars and a milk crate for a dog box and your livin high and mighty. I like the bitch. I've got a pup just like her here coat, undershot jaw and all. Your pics are pretty cool of the rabbit catch too.

Awesome

Not sure how to show pictures. My buddies and I worked a couple fox/fell crosses. They were colored but the sire was white. My friends would likely have become one of the best dogs I've seen but sadly drown last year on a coon, only his second season. The one I kept was a fire cracker for his first few months. Then all of a sudden he just wouldn't go. He never got ate up or badly injured while working. He just stopped. Gave him months off but he remained too soft for my liking. A buddy who didn't mind his style took him and he's still catching coon, just not to the level I prefer.

Agree with you Bryan. Shows don't ruin the dogs. Dogs are ruined when hunters stop breeding them and giving them to other hunters.

Why I call it a white dog and not a jack russell is cause I'm sick and tired of people thinking every white working terrier is a jack russell. Jack Russell was how many years ago? How many strains of white dog have been before and after him? The pup looks like a jack russell but there are questions as to whether there is bull blood or ebt or rat or feist. I don't know what "breeds" are in the pup. I know there are working "types" as Kaw said in the blood. I've got black dogs here and some red ones and some black and tans. Most of mine aren't any "breed" they are types. Last I heard fells/pat

Ha Ha nice alan. I don't really know. It is out of hunting stuff. A group of friends has had them for thirty years and they were an established line they got off another guy before that. They're on the hard side. I've had some buddies who have had em and said they loved em. So I'm trying one. The pup is very manageable compared to my jagd/fell crosses.

Got myself a white pup. I'm loving the little bugger. Tries getting the cat every chance he gets. lol

Like I said, It would depend on what the situation is. With someone just getting into terriers I haven't expected anything from them because they have no background to base an expectation on. I guess the point I've been making in the last few posts is - make what is expected known in no unclear terms or you just end up getting screwed and losing friends. This is where Hoss' question comes into play, "what are you protecting?" Generations of work. It's not so much that I'm afraid of someone ruining my line (nonexistent at this point) it is that I want to accelerate the process of breeding to g

It is nice to expect that a shaking of the hand will be respected. I've got a buddy who gave several dogs away across the country. I don't know the guys who ended up with the dogs but the agreement was that if ever they pass the dog on that my friend would get called first and he'd have the option to have them back. Previous to knowing this I was offered a bitch for free and I went to get her from the guy. He made it a major pain in my butt to get the bitch and then when he gave her to me after my 10 hour drive in to the middle of nowhere, the guy says not to make a big deal of getting her on

Holy crap. didn't realize I wrote a novel.

"I don't give dogs out on breeding terms, thats the sort of shit pedigree puppy pedlars get up to." I agree with most of what you've said buster... Except for this. This is actually what would solve the problems with people breeding shite to the dogs they obtain from you. I Had to think a bit when i bred a few litters this year. I knew I couldn't raise all nine out of the two breedings but I knew that keeping only half the group of pups would only give me half the options down the road. Not to mention I just wouldn't be allowing each dog to reach it's full potential by keeping every one of th

Noticed on the Border topic that prices are outrageous for a border. One of the guys mentioned that nobody bats an eye at spaniels and springers being priced at rates of 4-500 pounds, so why do terrier men gripe. Well for one, I don't know about everyone else's neck of the woods but around here terriers and hounds are owned by the working class and poor folk. Not too many of the white collar business men in the sport. On the other hand bird hunting is much more a wealthier class sport. If a terrier has a high price... if any price at all... the guys here not only can't afford it but woul

4th year is what I've seen.

Dock my own pups. I can't stand how short the tails are on some terriers.
