All day long Dotty! When I see a terrier that has a knack for making critters come out its getting bred.

what to another bolter?? or a digging dog??

If a red boy gets caught up the wrong tunnel, no matter type of terrier is to ground it can't and won't bolt.

If a real fox slayer is to ground, and is chasing a fox that has an escape route, it will get the f**k outa there sharpish (the fox that is).

Difficult one......

I wouldnt want anything else.

 

Oh ya, forgot to add though that I dont wanna hear em make a sound either.

theres no doubt some are alot better at bolting than others, just comes naturally. i see no problems with breeding from these to get a type, i have seen it work consistently too. horses for courses.

agree with you there mate, some foxes dont want to stay in with a hard terrier and will get out sharpish, and it doubt theres a "bolting" dog thats bolted every fox its gone to ground on.

not so sure a dog that only bolts rather have seen the dog dug to and fully tested for a few seasons first

If it stays till dug to then it aint a bolter,and if it dosent and comes out then its a quitter.I dont think there is any such terrier as a fox if not in a stop end given a chance will bolt from a hard dog same as a sounder,and if they dont bolt then i for one would not be impressed with a terrier coming away.Some lads like a terrier that will do maybe 20 minutes to ground and if no bolt come away and move on but that is not terrier work in my eyes.I would much rather get a dig no matter the dept than to see it bolt.

spot on

A fox will bolt from its own shadow most times ,even a hob ferret will do .Any terrier or any dog for that matter that can fit down a hole will bolt a fox that can get away .A dog that stands off its fox is the one that gets most bolts ,something i detest.The terrier allows the fox the freedom to move and charlie will use that everytime .IMO its the road to ruin when breeding from two of this type .Bolts happen no matter what you do apart from stopping in .My advice to anyone working terriers is to savour the dig at every opportunity and treat bolts as a hazard of the job and deal accordingly.We should be keeping the digging qualities alive rather than a cowardly second rate yappy excuse .
