i'm new to the site , do terriers get stuck down rabbit holes and have to be dug out ?? or are they just too big to get down in the first place ??? i know depends on size off dog and hole etc but ........??

personally myself i try 2 keep my terriers away from rabbits

[Guest Side by Side]

well imo u should not enter a terrier on rabbits as soon as the terrier has put a mark on the hole pull him/her away and its the ferrets job then....

 

happy hunting

Foxes when realy pushed may be forced to take refuge in a rabbit warren........generaly they dont get very far but a terrier trying to follow that fox may well get stuck.........every year lots of pet terriers go to ground in rabbit warrens and yes some do get stuck.

Most working terriers have more sense or experiance than to try and go down rabbit holes all the time.JMO.

Foxes especially cubs will seek refuge down a rabbit hole for a past time, it's almost bizare where they can wedge themselves.

Although Terriers can get stuck down a Rabbit hole, mostly they choose to stay there, totaly deaf, trying to dig on towards the Rabbit then you have the choice of sitting it out untill they get bored or digging.

Most dogs will have a go at getting down a hole if you encourage them!

The spanial at 15 yrs old and still game!

 

The spanial and bully trying to fit in the same hole!

thats [bANNED TEXT] we call bushing mate!! Its awsome sport for the terriers! You never know [bANNED TEXT] their gonna catch in them bushes.

 

p.s: The rabbits certainly are not for human consumption after the terriers have smashed them up, ok for ferret food though.

Thats a problem with my dog, he mangles anything he gets a hold of, did do the LEEEEAVVVE in training but in Patterdale mode he just seems to have a red mist come down, makes him deaf too. Little

my old russellxlake bitch would go to ground after rabbits. but i learned to tell the difference between her sounding when she was at a fox or rabbit. if she was at rabbits i'd walk on she'd soon follow out after me. problem was she was so small about 11 pounds and about the same in inches that she could fit down a lot of rabbit holes.

my lakeyxpatt marks rabbits holes but dont enter as he,s too big, he will course them above ground but just aint quick enough to catch them unless they stop. he does dragg them out of brick and rubble piles tho.

Nope my russell terrier retrieves the rabbits to my feet witout a scratch except for the head crushed.

 

fine for people...
