Benellisupernova 104 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Hi everybody. I'm getting my first terrier (patterdale) in a few weeks from a litter my mate has. He has 1 bitch and 4 dogs but not too sure what would be best as my first terrier. I want it to work foxes but can not decide what i should go for, would a bitch be better as she would be smaller? What are your oppinions? Cheers everybody Quote Link to post

What are your oppinions? Cheers everybody its up to you bud, ive seen some bitches that can be harder than a dog, etc, the only factor is a bitch comes into season x2 a yr, if she makes the grade do you want to breed from her. Good luck in your choice Quote Link to post

"Earth!" 503 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 i prefer my bitches but its hard to find a good one compared to a dog. Quote Link to post
Benellisupernova 104 Posted November 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 (edited) Thanks Blackpack, i had thought of her comeing into season but we already have 2 bitches and would probably be easier to get another one, although they will be kept seperate. I'm not sure if i would want to breed from her yet but if i do get a bitch that is also a plus if i do decide to in future Cheers Christian, think I'll probably go for the bitch Earth, do you think that dog's are more likely to make a good worker?

Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 I prefer to keep dogs, Bitches coming into season can be a nightmare if you've got dogs as well. Quote Link to post
wexford Pa 84 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 If u come across a litter of a long line of really good workers id take a bitch, if she works to a good standard u could have the option of breeding her and they could really make u a nice family of workers.. ....
