I thought the same mate , don’t think it was hand held , jmo
Ye it look a bit like some of the footage from that bbc Wales thing the other year. Now I’ve seen it again tho whoever filmed it did have hold of a whip so they must have known him fairly well

I thought it looked like someone might of had a camera hidden on them it wasn’t the best quality

Every time you put a dog to ground you take a risk same as every time you let a lurcher off the lead. But to knowingly put a dog your attached to into a place where if it goes wrong your not going to be able to help is not for me. I have never worked that sort of ground so no experience in it. But back when I did dig I would pick my spots wisely. Preferably braken banks and not oak woods lol
I suppose a lot of it comes down to experience and listening to those that have experience. There’s men out there that have done it all there life that learnt off men that did it all there life. There rock places that have been worked for well over 100 years and never kept a terrier over night. But if one of those men tell you a place is bad and to stay away then you listen. It’s not just a case of tipping a terrier in anywhere that holds a fox. To say if you work rocks you shouldn’t own a terrier is no sense to me spoken by someone that has zero experience working rocks

It’s like asking why would u out ur best mate in front of a train ? U wouldn’t do it
if I didn’t have rabbits where I live or near I wouldn’t have a rabbiting dog, if u got not sensible earths near u and not prepared to travel don’t have a terrier simple
Are you say lads that work rocks shouldn’t have a terrier?

Anyone else have problems deciding what pup to keep out of your own litter

Pg 600 definitely work when done properly. The bitches usually start ovulation early once they’re in season from it

Where’s the meetings going to be?

My Mrs has started a little fertility clinic in Lancashire. If the dog has an infection it will show up on the microscope and snyulox will clear it up and not make sterile. Same with a bitch when they do sightology they can see an infection in a bitch then and same again antibiotics while in heat with no problem

Right guys my little whippet Russel has finally come into season and I’m on the lookout for a stud for her as the dog I was going to use only produced one pup out of a litter he just sired. Ideally I’m looking for a 3/4 whippet 1/4 terrier.
All these fertility people that mess with all these fancy breeds are adamant it’s down to the bitch and how many fertile eggs are released that affects litter sizes

To be honest I wouldn’t really class it as a rescue more a lad had just put his dog in a spot and needed a hand digging. Me and a lad off here have done similar earths in a similar area at similar depths on our own. I think the fell and moorland say a dog has to be in 24hr before they get involved. Think the old boys doing the rocks back in the day wouldn’t class it as stuck if the dog is still working.

They haven't really slagged the F & M off, just said they had contacted several members who weren't too keen on helping or pointing in the right direction of help. I asked a rep a few years back for a form to sign up several times to no avail.
I’d like to know what rep they contacted because I know both reps that are near them and both men would off contacted me. I’ve spent a good few days helping out getting dogs out.ive organised machines and payed for machines and the fell and moorland payed me back. The lad himself has said the fell and moorland has failed us all. And the fell and moorland has let everybody down. He’s wrote this on the internet for everyone to see. He’s been going to tell us for days what rep has been phoned and wasn’t interested but we’ve still not had an answer. If you know who’s been phoned about helping get this dog out please let us know

New club?
Apparently a some lads went to help a kid dig a dog out the other day and 1 of them has started a new terrier rescue club on Facebook and been slagging fell and moorland off. I’ve only heard about it all second hand

There’s been some money spent on machinery just in them pictures alone. This new club that’s turned up reckoning to do terrier rescues. What happens when they have £3000 to pay to get a dog out. Think lads need to be careful signing up and paying subs if it’s just to line someone’s pocket

Dont think anyones using them for what the poster will think its just a case of trying it and letting the other dogs show it the way
There’s is a couple off lads out there using there dogs that way. And there is certain lines that are better suited to it than other lines

If there really good at it surely any has got the chance to make it ? Just buy ya pup and take ya chance then aint it all im saying is i dont think your best bet is with someone makes a living selling dogs.
Would you just buy any terrier pup and take your chance wanting it to work to a high standard or would you do your home work and buy a pup that’s bred out of dogs doing what you want it to do.

Pure gwp won’t be quick enough to catch, they will hunt like feck. We had two that hunted fox regularly. They spoke on sent too. Never caught on top unless half shot or something. Will mark them in no problem. They point plenty of feathered game too which will be a pain in the arse. I’d definitely have a bit of running dog in them for being all rounders.
I’ve been round a few GWP. I’ve seen them catch on top we put 1 up with 2 bitches a few week ago out off a bracken bed they went over the hill with it when we got to the top they had it caught. Seen them have long hunts and runs like a hound and catch them. Doesn’t happen often but they can catch. I agree they won’t catch like a running dog will but they’re not a running dog. I’ve brought my bitch up fox only and she won’t hunt any bird she’ll mess about a little bit on rabbit if there nothing else doing and she’s never even thought about pointing on anything not sure if that’s breeding or how she’s been brought up but it’s better for me
