samearl14 11 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 im quite keen on getting a terrier for ratting and being in the tractor etc. But i wouldnt want him to go to ground. Will majority of terriers go to ground naturally if they find a hole? :-/ ATB Sam Quote Link to post
Bryan 1,363 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Terriers have a habit of doing the very thing you don't want them to do, wether that's going to ground or walking out Quote Link to post

DUCKWING 302 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 HATS OFF TO YOU SAM !! YOU MATE .............ARE ONE OF THE FEW LADS THAT HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT THEY WANT IN A DOG FAR , FAR TOO MANY SO - CALLED " KNOWLEDGEABLE " DOG MEN BUY OR BREED PUPS WHICH ARE SPECIALIST ANIMALS THEN ASK THEM TO DO A JOB FOR WHICH THEY HAVENT BEEN BRED ....... HEY HO ......... 12 MONTHES DOWN THE LINE ANOTHER PUP UP FOR SALE DUE TO OWNERS NOT HAVING ANY "COMMON " ??? SENCE GOD KNOWS HOW MANY LADS ARE RUNNING AROUND THE COUNTRY TRYING TO MAKE A WELL BRED COURSING DOG INTO A FERRETING DOG OR A DIGGING BRED TERRIER INTO A BUSHING DOG ............ YEP .......... THERE ARE INDIVIDUAL DOGS WHICH CAN AND WILL DO BOTH JOBS , BUT THESE MY FRIENDS ARE LIKE ROCKIN HORSE SHITE ........... FAR BETTER FOR LADS TO HAVE A DEEP DARK LOOK AT THEMSELVES AND THE AMOUNT AND TYPE OF HUNTING THEY DO ......... THEN DECIDE WHAT TYPE OF DOG WILL SUIT THEM BEST .......... MAYBE THAT SALUKI SATURATED COURSING DOG WOULDNT BE BEST FOR FERRETTING IN WOODLAND ??? OR THAT COLLIE CROSS MIGHT NOT BECOME THE DOG YOU WANT ON THE BLACK LANDS OF THE FENS ?? , OR WHAT WORSE FOR A DIGGING DOG BRED OVER GENERATIONS NOT TO GIVE UNDERGROUND TO HAVE HIS OWNER GOING OFF ON ONE OVER HIM DOING SOMETHING AS NATURAL TO HIM AS BREATHING ?? YES MATE HAVE A GOOD LOOK AT WHAT YOU REQUIRE IN A DOG AND MOST IMPORTANTLY DONT BULLSHIT YERSELF OVER WHAT YOU REQUIRE .................. IF YOU DO THAT YOU WILL HAVE DONE MORE IN THIS GAME THAN MANY HAVE ......... ALL THE BEST DUCKWING Quote Link to post
