it is legal and humane to let a bird catch and kill which in my opinion would be a slower and more painful death than with a dog. And anyone with chickens lambs etc cannot dig them on there land! it is only so the the big money makers can protect there big money on there estates. Favouritism!! The countries a fcucking joke!!!
taking it out stock breaking and getting it used to scents in my eyes is a must. being new to the terrier game i am just wondering what can wisen the pup up.things like ragging a tail or carcass and watching digs. i was told get them to rats when there adult teeth are in then others say rats and rabbits ruin fox dogs. whats your opinions?
Thanks guys, that's the kind if thing I'm talking about ie ragging the tail and stuff. The clay pidgin club is a good idea to as I will use him for beating aswell
Has anyone got any tips for bringing a pup on from an early age? I know you should let a pup b a pup but what can I include in there play to help bring there instinct out and give them better chance to hone there skills for when the time comes to enter.
Ok fair point, the argument was whats harder to catch. I was saying to catch a fox properly I would say that a neck or shoulder bit takes more skill and technique than catching a rabbit anywhere although the rabbits are faster
I'm talking about ones that grab by the shoulders or neck not ones that grab the back end and shake from there. What I'm saying mate is in my opinion I like a dog to grab it's fox top end and take the least amount of punishment, that's what takes more skill n technique. Hey they not all do it and if your happy with the way your dog does it good for you.
Some rabbits that have been lamped lots are like mini rockets, seen some take off at amazing speeds. The dog needs quicker reactions at a faster speed and to strike anywhere will do whereas on foxes the dog slows down a good bit to time his strike and it has to b placed precicely orvits a sore face for him.Different techniques are needed for both. But both as exciting as the other
I thought there would b alot more said about them, I wonder what percentage of the terriermen use them compared to other breeds and what makes the other breeds better then?
