  1. Round Bales ?

    Not many places about me that you could work bales compared to other folk, but we've put them out of roofs of old houses on a regular basis over the years. They hold at certain times depending on weather conditions and temperature. I mind standing with my back to the wall of an old stone cottage, I was in my late teens with my 7/8s grey 1/8th bedlington I had at the time, wondering what I was to expect. Window to the right of me another to the left. Waiting on a fox jump out of the window, usually they don't but it's not uncommon, I wasn't to know. A terrier was put into the roof from the rear, nothing for a while but you could hear the dog searching threw the roof. You where told to be quiet even approaching the building never mind speak, took a few mins then the terrier was on, few barks and you knew there was hunt in it. A fox ran around the gable of the house towards me, a dog was already on its tail. I held up. Just as well. A fox came out off the roof right over the top of my head and landed right in front of me. We killed 4 out off that roof that morning, 2 out of the next roof less than 100 yards away down the same lane. Some crack at the time. You'd be wasting your time trying roofs at certain times off the year, as they only hold under certain conditions.

    Is it the same with working bales?

    They where good times. It takes a certain type off terrier to run a roof mind you, not all terriers liked being threw up into heights threw windows or floorboards or unstable crevices, not natural surroundings by any means.

    There's a hunting man in the North who with his small pack of hounds and lurchers accounts for 3 or 4 hundred foxes each season and if I remember correctly I think he told me a few years back that he had 30 out of roofs one year.

    assuming he would he have guns with him too Neil?

    I haven't hunted with them for a few years but always thought they had a gun or two out for those corners not suitable for a lurcher.
    Must be different men these lads I know don't like lads shooting them.
    would his name be s.t. if so he wouldn't have guns out no matter wat
    that's a fact
    S.T. Is out plenty with guns ,hunts 12 months of the year ,prone too exaggerate numbers caught and telling wee white lies ,but nobody will tell him that lol :D

    Nope, some believe so but I'm not one of them. There's a difference between hard and drive, I want a terrier that's full of drive and does just enough to get the job done, tick away all day until you put the daylight in then they can take hold. It's a fine line mate, it's up to each and everyone of us to make their own decisions and go with their own consionse.

    it is a very fine line mate , just think the more yappers brought forward the further back you end up .

    I've bred off iron hard, I still get iron hard mute loons but I don't want them.

    I admire the raw courage but I don't like to see my terriers getting hurt, plenty of lads walk around with heavily scared dogs but I cringe when I see them and I certainly don't like having them in my yard.

    I used to take the piss out of old Nicolas but as I've got older I'm getting just the same, I used to call him Beatrix.

    People seem to have lost the concept of terriers WORKING their quarry instead of going balls out for the kill.

    surely a hard bitch is needed at some stage to continue a " working" line jmho .

    The dig was to my old black bitch mate, they've both done a ton of graft and both are as steady as rocks. The RSPCA had the chocolate bitch for ten weeks a couple of years ago, I felt like I'd had my guts taken out.

    I think both arguments hold water, it's just a personal thing. The way I see it is a bitch is physically weaker than a dog 90% of the time in much the same way men and women are. So if you go forward with bitches that hold their own or work harder (not hard) then your on to a winner.

    I don't have all the answers, I've only had the one lifetime.

    If it goes right, "crow from the rooftop" if it goes wrong keep your mouth shut and hope no one asks

    ( not hard ) would you not breed of a bitch that was hard dilly ,, just wondering .
