    Benefit of the doubt yes, but if kids are involved I wouldn’t give it a chance. I’d keep a dog like that outdoors, especially if you had any doubts.

    Alright lads, I’m looking at getting a few new collars, had strong stuff and swear by it, it’s decent gear but mines getting worn and just fancy a few leather ones. Who makes decent leather collars for terriers now?

    Agreed, I wonder how many dog lads voted labour up to the ban because they’ve always voted labour and they didn’t like the conservatives for what thatcher did. This happened in my area, everyone voted labour and still do because Of the coal mines yet they don’t know what they’re actually voting for.

    Always has been hot around garstang and Barton, the ribble valley is that way now too, shame as it’s a cracking spot for the dogs,it’s the result of plenty of well off people moving into a farming area. Most of the lakes is the same too.

    How strange??

    The cheek of some people ? asking for permission on here. How about get off your arse and ask for it, plenty places around lancs where the farmers are no bother.

    Cracking stamp of a terrier?

    A good vindaloo will do the trick. ? works for me.

    I was told to go for the racing greyhounds for breeding lurcher rather than the coursing as they don’t have too heavy of a frame and less injury prone. Don’t know if there’s much truth in it but it’s worth a thought

    What happened to the bob dog, heard he went to some lads Wirral way?

    Id find your first statement completely wrong. Nearly every dog will work something in a stop very well, but 90% of those dogs won’t enter to ground because they don’t want to, it has no relation to the wanting to go to ground and it doesn’t give you an indicator of if your dog will work or wants it.

    I’ve been sorted more than a few times due to this site and it’s members. Just because don’t tell you doesn’t mean otherwise.

    I’d be careful with the ivermectin stuff, I’ve had this one tub for years and it does the job https://www.hyperdrug.co.uk/Easivet-Benzyl-Benzoate-Application-1L/productinfo/BENZYLEASI/

    You get the odd goodun in any breeding same as you get the odd bad one. My whippet wasn’t afraid of the cold or the bushes but wasn’t anything like a beddy whippet
  16. rob284
    Had the whippet and ran a few whippet crosses, whippet crosses are a lot hardier and more rugged, the whippet was very biddable but didn’t have that terrier attitude!

    Had a 19” whippet bitch catch a few hare, only in small fields and poor hares though. She baled into a few bolted foxes but that soon stopped one day when she got the sharp end ? also know a lad that kept a beddy whippet bitch, it did everything, from rabbiting to a bullx job.

    Heard someone say racing greyhounds are better in a lurcher than a coursing greyhound, what’s your opinions based on experience.
  19. rob284
    Mine used to flush them well ?

    Drop him in a shallow spot you’ve dug before. If you haven’t got any spots like that you’ll have to find them, you can have a good guess as to what’s handy or not.
  21. rob284
    What do you mean by take a rabbit? How will it be working for a rabbit, a whippet cross terrier would beat anything when it comes to that job, and would take rats with ease.?
  22. rob284
    I’d steer clear of a patterdale as you have a higher chance of getting a driven dog that won’t settle unless it’s given hard work. Then again a lot of working terriers and some of the best are laid back, but this can be down to the fact they’re worked. A border terrier would be a handy dog for what your after, often calm around a yard and are handy ratting bushing dogs, cracking pets too.

    Here here. Some lads like to glorify the past and slag of the youth, but they forget the past practises of some brought the restrictions we have today, something the youth have to deal with and there’s a lot of young lads out there now conducting terrier work to a higher standard than what was deemed the norm yesteryear. All you can do is do right by your dogs and your dogs breeding and the rest should follow

    The locator hasn’t allowed the tracksuit brigade to dig, they would be at it regardless, that’s more to do with having social media for a platform. Yeah it’s harder without a locator but given time anyone with something between their ears should grasp the concept, the art is in the deep spots. Before the locator there where big gangs of hairy arse country folk digging Setts no deeper than a metre doubling up, using the long handle builders shovels, shooting all quarry and leaving the holes open, now that’s fair rough in my book, but I wouldn’t put it down to anything other than there will alwa

    Just as many clowns were at it before the locator! Doubling up, trenching in from the entrance and the use of draw dogs were common practise amongst them. Yes it’s simpler, but progression has made it a lot safer for yourself and the dog, and if you really wanted to test the dog like you say, you can always sit back for a few hours before you dig.
