  1. so are they types now then or breeds? throw a pic up to I get a peek!
  2. the private packs I have been out with here in NI are mostly a mix of beagle x springer x terrier or harrier x beagle x terrier, from years of self bred yards great on fox and can do a mark don't run off miles and easy handled, I have seen a few fox hounds work our patches on invite....feared of the tight thorns and brambles and useless on fences...
  3. had stuff direct from this line/ breeder! 91/92, not for me.
  4. I rarely read books and detest crufts,the facts are that many a terrier was bred to graft and then bred to be breed specific to its location and the nearest thing to a Patterdale is a Black and Tan terrier and not a Black un,something i never learnt from a book,Middleton and his mucker recounted that to me in an Ale house,i paid the beer tab for my education.The amount of Russels about now that are breed specific and owe more to their Black and Tan Ancestry,something else i never read yet learnt in the same pub that Middleton sold one of his white Lakeys to Gouldy.Ive visited many a village,it
  5. from books?? no disrespect intended but you sound like crufts, don't listen to the name why terriers were named, what would a village reverend infused with the whole KC beginning know about terrriers when he bought his superior stud dog off a milk man! do you really think patterdale is a new breed? named after a village or place? as I said they are types not breeds I have terriers here far superior in stature and more relevant to their ancestors than was at crufts in the terrier section I call them russells and they look and bark like russells but there not pure russells! My da has a wee westi
  6. anyone who thinks the bedlington was ever a breed...has been living in the romanticism's that terrier work just doesn't need....the bedlington the fell the Russell the lakey and now the patt are not and have never been breeds! there all terrier types, and Morton your sounding like you have something special when in reality you have a type you call bedlington, which is just doing what every other type with the word terrier at the end should be doing! which is going to ground and enjoy working fox! Only terrier men understand that a terrier is for work, and work to a terrier is going to ground t
  7. LOL.... some of the comments on here are really unbelievable... have yous really been turned into zombies by the computer and lost all your morals and empathy? THL at its finest ill tell you.... a bunch of clowns who sit on there computers all day talking about dogs...not out working or walking them it seems that's if half even keep dogs... know the true story or any part of it because they read it on facebook!! What I have just watched was a fekin disgrace, and will take me a day or 2 to get that image out of my head! That man whoever he was has family and im sure they don't want to hear or
  8. nobody wants to be a polermic cxnt but the weather has been very mild recently. plenty a sun..... them drills look to have frost pools in them! im not sure that pic was took today was it?
  9. that picture was actually took in Sweden do you think were stupid? FD!
  10. if this has happened I don't doubt it one bit, folk on here think if a dog barks at a fox he will be intimidated and bolt run away afraid ... foxes grow up around dogs all there life from when they are up on there paws, its there territory and hunting ground may it be the farm yard collie or the pet pooch down the lane.... you think a wild fox up on his or her paw's, especially feeding cubs is going to worry about a yappy tea cup... that's 72 hours of protein that's all.... that fox will have watched that dogs routine and know he doesn't yap when squatted for a shite, struck and been success
  11. was out with hounds 3 seasons ago with a WTC from NI....doing a glen with big bankins with all just old fill and hateful silo bags babred wire the lot, fox was run in so a dig was on out came two old chasis from a tractor a wing from a van and a few door lintils.... but it didn't go back in!
  12. to be honest id say id was probably just a wheel with a few runs with bails for jumps on, to keep them fit and socialized during the summer months and also use this as a meeting place for like minded men to meet..... I could be wrong though.
  13. foxbolter lifes not fair...but if a farmer shot hounds on his land for worrying or what he justified in his own mind at that time on his land to be worrying sheep then he is well within his rights to shoot... it doesn't have to be LAMBING season its when there tipped also is the most important time... if the hunting man knew his land well enough... he should have at least approached the farmer a week in advance and made him aware a hunt will be hunting the vicinity and will do the best they can to keep dogs and hunting of any sorts of his land! If things go wrong at least you have tied up all
  14. the men shouting burn down farms and battering farmers are not hunting men and if approached by a very angry farmer 1 on 1 would probably put muck out all in his pants because there not with there 25 strong cover posse...they are men who do a wee bit of hunting. First off its the FARMERS land who allows honest respectable folk onto his land who he has built up a TRUST with he will know them and can often ask them for different favours as we can often ask thm for bails of straw eggs whatever and im never charged...If I see fallen or injured stock on his land ill go help and if it needs treated
  15. whippets 100% correct that needs shored... sure if your down that depth and everythings going well and have time to take pics...another hour or two to shore up wont hurt, yes I agree the welfare of terrier and quarry is forefront.. but when it comes to human safety... all stops need to be pulled out for the men in the depths... as in safety of man on the shovel is worth more than a terrier surely?
  16. had two lads over from Scotland mid season... took them to two spots where we were successful twice and always have a dig in each place at least 3 times a season every season one was 0.9 and the other was 2.2 when terrier was on they asked me you ever dig this.... I have been digging them at least 15 years.
  17. fill it in with the natural clay or whatever landscape your digging in,,,, that way everything is organic and natural. livestock wont tramp it in and tractors wont bust a link or slip a drive if the dig over it.... it cant cave in if filled in properly?
  18. what the hell is a bridge one of those make shift twigs or stones over the end you have just dug? if so that kind of stuff is for beginners who read books... a nights rain would cave that in if deeper than 4ft.... when you leave and even after a fortnights rain you want a bump in the field where you had been digging not a depression..... theres enough of that on this site....
  19. many reasons why they don't backfill correctly.... as has been said already its easier to put back in than it is to take out.....so the 1st main reason is LAZINESS...2nd... No Permission and have chanced it, got the fox then bolted themselves without leaving the place the same as they got it... simple logic would tell them that if they had no permission and farmer comes on them he is less chance of flaring up if there tiding the place correctly... 3rd they opened a few pits never got there fox and like there dogs were just not up to the job and said flip it leave sure who gives a hoot ill sell
  20. Listening to some drunk eejits giving me flack at an irrelevant to myself dog show that is helping to promote terrier work as honestly as they can.
  21. excellent pics.... love a bit of ratting with the terriers when I get a good spot and the time to hit it right, me da has a wee westie its 8 now and been kenneled outside all its life a good wee guard dog...for barking and alerting him if someones about, and treated like a terrier, not a working terrier but a terrier if you know what I mean, hes a wee tank hes had quite a few rats in his day and will kill them no probs and has seen a fox or 3! lol no he didn't do well or act like his ancestors 1 bit at the foxes he seen but none the less he done ten minutes twice.... that was took him 2 m
