vectis 0 Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Hello to everyone on the forum, I have just recently joined and have spent some time digesting the old posts. Great site! I would like some advice on how to start working my terrier. I have a Border Terrier pup (10 month boy) and am very keen to have a go at working him. I am willing to learn from the siteand books, and by have a go alone with him if I need to, but would rather introduce him slowly, however I live on the Isle of Wight and dont know any other diggers. There is a hunt on the Isle of Wight and their website seems like they welcome people to attend, would this be a good place to start and see if I could take him along? Not really sure how to go about this, if you were in my position how would you start out? Thanks in advance, Vectis. Quote Link to post
fat man 4,741 Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Contact the hunt and ask if you can tag along and maybe bring your terrier aswell.Get to know the terrier man for the hunt and try and help him out as much as he will allow and one day he may let you try your dog,but even the dog been tied outside an earth with another dog to ground is a learning phase for your pup,a lot more than you will learn out of any book or of here and you yourself will see 1st hand how a dig is done. 1 Quote Link to post
