pocket terriers

[cathunter 8]

i have done search's on here and can't find any thing on the type of terrier i've been thinking about.

the job's that it would be required to do is be a sounder/bayer/bolter on foxes and rabbits.

the reason behind the idea is because some spots i have found are very inaccesable for digging and all i'm after is a dog that has minamal trouble in and out of hole so no digging required.

 

the dog is only going to be used for bolting for my running dog pup

 

i know i'll get told to get a ferret (i have one)or just cop flack becouse it's not conventional but any way

any idea's would be much appeceated

 

PM's fine also

i was planning on being able to call out the dog if needed, and only if needed.

so you don't think i'd be able to get consistant bolts on rabbits?

No but you have oh no your keeping them

[sallie 67]

complete with pink bow and you have ordered one

Mate,you're dreaming if you think any terrier no matter how small will consistantly bolt rabbits without getting into trouble,they will dig themselves into a coffin,once that soil gets mounded up behind them then you're in the sh*t,I once had an 8lb russell in the 70's that was a complete pain on rabbits,she was only 8"tts and I would lose her regular in rabbit warrens and drains,etc,she did bolt rabbits now and then and she could catch them in cover but she was a liability everytime we went out and had to be collared (locator) everywhere we went and you could be hours at the first occupied rabbit hole you come to,stick to ferrets,atb,wirralman

Thanks for the info wirralman, i'll have to rethink this idea, thought i'd be able to do it but i really don't like the idea of loosing a dog under ground. yes i know it's a risk with any dog that gets taken out, i just thought i smaller than average terrier would have less trouble

STUNTMAN has a thread on the go right now about Den Terriers, thats the size you want for your rabbits Id guess.
