Few years back I was stuck for a sire after my 6 yr old bitch lost a litter to my proven old black dog,I tried again next time she came in but unfortunately he was to old (13/14 at the time)there was only two dogs out of him that I had access to,one a full son to a very well bred bitch and his full sister.obviously I used the dog lol- now he self entered at a 12 months and was dug twice that day working like an old pro,used him a few more times and then put him away till the next season.when that came he was flying and didn't put a foot wrong-funny thing was I dug him with a few lads I didn't

Knocked the puff on the head after 25 yrs,f***ing shit holds you back imo,finally started filling out and put on half a stone in a month,never felt so good if im honest-won't ever knock anyone who enjoys it-just no longer for me-as for work?I f***ing love it!!!A break from her in doors and the little uns lol-done the whole chasing the money thing and it comes a time when your happiness got to come first,money's not everything.

if fox is your game you try and breed fox dogs-if the others tickle your fancy then you try and breed a dog to deal with them? So I think probably yes you would have the same percentage of workers/failures-that's my opinion Maybe someone who had the privilege of digging both when it was a respected pastime has a different theory? It was outlawed just before I was born,atb dc

You would be very silly if you rocked up in the forest these days expecting to drop one-way to on top-plenty boys been caught,they leave you a warning first time round and next time they crush your vehicle take your picture,and do everything they can to get you banned from keeping dogs-they have heard all the excuses-and as for taking them somewhere else-you must be f***ing lacking-forestry and police know the craic,stick to rabbits and rats.and what you get upto in your own head.atb dc

I'm happy with the dogs I have around me,they do all what is asked of them and without to much stick,always a bonus,.I've always been self sufficient and not had to ask others for a mating etc,but as time goes on and now I'm finally meeting genuine lads with the same aims I'm opening up to the idea of using something outside of my gene pool,maybe a good thing,maybe turn them all to shit,who knows-nothing is set in stone.atb dc

If you need to produce better than what you had,id not breed from them.I know some of the old lads are bullshitting romantics yet many i met i learnt an awful lot from,possibly why im a bullshitting romantic.I cannot believe nearly everybody on here as never had honest stewardship from an elder and wished to own a kennel of dogs like many of them owned,i was and am still in awe of the expertise and dogmanship and skills,mainly lost now,that many of our elders possessed.The facts are that many of the places the olde lads worked are left alone now because the dogs and expertise to work them is l

Thought the whole idea of working/keeping dogs was about being able to produce better than what you had? -best dog to best bitch?then imo the dogs and terriermen around to day are better than the old timers lol,like it's been said most the old boys loved to double dogs up-must be an over 50/60s thing?cant be arsed to let a dog settle so chuck in another?to lazy to dig?when the dog comes away-he does that when he's killed them-lmfao. I've met plenty that did it, and still do it now,don't get me wrong I've met one or two old boys you could learn a thing or two off.but (mostly how not to go abo

Having another dog present on couples can't hurt,don't think he ment doubling up it that's what you getting at?I agree with that post of Bryans,foxdropper how many goes would you give a dog to enter your way before you thought it was no good?genuine question?you must have exceptional dogs or maybe a lot of wastage? Curious to know not knocking everyones different, I personally tie them up and let them listen to a sensible terrier at work and then when i think they ready .i then like a young dog to mark ,go in and Find off its own back,and hopefully stay till dug.in 20 yrs I've had a few that n
