I have a couple but due to work commitments they haven't been getting as much graft as I'd like. Dug a few foxes out with them. One is untried as of yet and the other is a bayer but due to only having been down at half a dozen or so it is hard to really say what she is like. Iv heard some stories that they are a very hardy breed and sometimes to hard.

Surely there are some people on here that have worked them?

What is trying to be said is there is no sport in the shooters who drive around shooting vast numbers of foxes in a season without leaving the comfort of the veichle. Noone can say shooters in general aren't hunters. The person who knows more than any fieldsports enthusiast about fieldcraft and hunting skills in my opinion would be the deer stalker! I take my hat of to the decoyer who spends the time working out flight paths, setting out the perfect formation and perfecting his hide. The rough shooter being ever alert who works along side his spaniel or other breed to flush game to him that he

Are there many of you's on here that have had much digging experience with border terriers. are they classed as a baying breed or the hardened kind that go in an aren't afraid to mix it up. Just would like to know what there general working abilities are like from the guys who work them or have worked them in the past. No talk about show dogs allowed just workers!

The most annoying part is from my experience gun men look down there nose at the lurcher men! We"re poaching b******s to them but the majority of the ones I kno have short memories as they we"re out with us and the dogs and out poaching with there air rifles before they got there fire arms. It's as soon as that certificate comes through the door and they get there needed permission then we are the bad guys in there eyes. I must add not all shooting guys just the many in my experience!

I know of someone getting rid if a very handy dog due to giving up the sport, iv seen the dog work numerous times and have been impressed with it. It is just past 5 year old and I was wondering how long a career does it have left? It would b mostly used for the bushys? Is it worth taking at this age?Just looking for your opinions guys thanks.

Whereabouts are you mate?

Totally agree with yappydoo. You spent the time on training and getting into the way of working together with your dog and the excitement that comes with taking him out. Watching the thrill of the chase and not knowing for sure if hel get it or it will get away. My mate shoots foxes with the rifle an he asked me to tag along one night, I went and held the lamp for him. Noone left the jeep the whole night as as soon as 1 was spotted the rifle was raised and it was dead in a split second hunt over!! He got 4 in the space of an hr n half and I was bored shitless. I don't see any excitement in it
