lukey 1,620 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Any pics of these steady dogs that dont take too much stick then? I think pics of the steady dogs that see plenty of work will look the same as the pics of the hard that see a few digs a season if you get me. 1 Quote Link to post
Hunting Lad 49 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 i was out yesterday with my old dog we bolted 2 foxes 1 of witch took some shifting and we dug another with him hes not got a mark on him and he could work today no prolem Thats the type of dog you want mate imo no good if they are laid up for weeks etc Wouldnt say a dog was no good if it had to be laid up for a couple of weeks, maybe not ideal but far from no good imo Dont get me wrong mate hard dogs have got there place. The dog in my avatar is on the hard side and when I say hard i mean hard! Only got 3 digs out of the dog in his first season becasue he was laid up that much! In a away yes that is no good but of course you have got too respect the heart hard dogs show but for me I would much rather have a steady bayer in the kennel which can be dug too week in week out Regards Ben Quote Link to post

Alli 923 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I totaly agree with almost everything your saying if not everything, but when you've had a few and your getting a bit older and wiser you tend (or i do) not to abuse the trust of a good terrier but to use it as and where suites the dog. Absolutely. I'm all for testing dogs to their fullest, but the mark of a good terrierman should be to know when they have had enough before they have. They all have their limits, as do all animals. Why do people see the need to prove a dogs limit by making it chuck it? FTB SPOT ON FTB Quote Link to post
wherestheman 0 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 whats all your veiws on this thares lads all over the place that seem to think hard terriers are better terriers i think its just stupid whats the point of haveing a terrier that can only be worked 1 every 2 to 3 month when you can have a baying terrier that can be worked 3 to 4 times a week well to me i would rather have the baying dog myself i have a old terrier dog thats 8 and he has done a fair amount of graft over the years but folk seem to think becouse hes not got chunks missing here and thare they dont beleve he works this used to piss me off but now a just dont give a shit as i no myself he works and has been a good littel dog for me over the years a bit of boffff// Quote Link to post
Daniele Santoni 6 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Hello, I think that terriers (and lurchers) should be evaluated according to the work that must be done, and the territory in which they must work. A hard terrier, for example, can be "functional" in my territory but not in a territory of another sportsman, or can be a good working dog with the "animals" that I hunt, but not so good with the animal hunted by someone else!

POSSUM 13 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 This is only the difference btwn a terrierman and a hunter... To answer to the question a hunter will not need a hard dog or will think it is useless as he wants to hunt everyday. A terrierman is not really into hunting purpose but more into working his dogs and have fun with them. He will like the hard one and will enjoy to have a big heart dog at his home... And like said someone else with no hard dog you loose working dogs at the end. It is also usefull to many reasons but don't have the english words to explain sorry. WTF are you talking about.. I think you should spend more time hunting and less on the Deadgame Message board!!! Here you go, I fixed your post because this is what you have learned from Todd Fulford and his crownies on his Booth Board!!! This is only the difference between a "baiter" and a hunter... To answer to the question a hunter will not need a hard dog or will think it is useless as he wants to hunt everyday. A "baiter" is not really into hunting purpose but more into "baiting" his dogs and have fun with them. He will like the hard one and will enjoy to have a big heart dog at his home... Too much emphasis is put into if a terrier is hard or soft or finishing ability..How about will the terrier do what is most important, find/locate, enter earth, and stay until dug to?? Truth be known a hard one will spend more time in a kennel healing than in the woods hunting..FACT!.... I prefer a smart, good finding/staying, mixer..Not to say that a hard terrier doesn't have any purpose or use, just that THE MEASURE OF A WORKING TERRIER IS NOT IN HIS FINISH BUT IN HIS FINDING AND STAYING ABILITY.. ALL THE FINISH IN THE WORLD DOES A TERRIER NO GOOD IF HE CANT FIND ANYTHING TO FINISH. A journey must begin before it can end. all the best..P.S. Tell Toddy-Boy I said and ...LMAO!!! 2 Quote Link to post
