BULL 74 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Ok lads I've had two adult terriers both not for very long they were gifted as they were adults both with extremely bad faults that couldn't be broke so they had to go back im seriously considering getting the best pup I can afford only interested in fox nothing else . What would you lads recommend as a very good line of foxing terriers that are available any advice or pms welcome cheers Bull Quote Link to post
busterbuster1969 313 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 I think it depends on what type of working style terrier you are looking for and what your going to use them for, earth work, bushing or both ? Quote Link to post
BULL 74 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 It would mainly be earth work to fox , I've heard a lot about various lines some good some bad was trying to find info on a Line strain or type that have got a good history of producing and good lineage behind them cheers Quote Link to post
busterbuster1969 313 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 My prefrence would be to go worker to worker preferably of dogs that you have seen graft and have produced some good workers already There are no guarantees in any line you choose but you reduce the risk of a failure if you selectivley choose your dog and try not to get hung up on a particular line as at lot of the big named lined dogs are bred for £ notes at an early age before they are proven to be bred from Good luck in whatever you choose 3 Quote Link to post
BULL 74 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Yes I was talking about working lines mate , I've not had much to do with terriers really , what i was asking was for the known lines that are working well to fox and are avalible to buy off of as I'm not clued up on the advice really mate Quote Link to post
Bosun11 537 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Bull, what BB is saying is that 'named' lines are not the be all and end all, in most cases they are a load of codswallop. Simply, take your time, do your homework, suss out someone who keeps a type to suit your needs, is out regular and go from there. 1 Quote Link to post
Tally Ho Hunter 60 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 a fox terrier needs to have a lot of time spent with it to make the grade i will say you dont want anything to hard for it so its easyer to break them from going to the opposite good luck matey 1 Quote Link to post
BULL 74 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Ah I see what your saying , wondered if there was a kennel that was known for selling a good proven line as a lot of the lads have bought local stuff which is complete shite .I get what your saying there's a few blokes I know down here who seem to have good types but keep themselves to there selves I'll have to give em a bell . Do you reckon all these well known lines are a rip off then Quote Link to post
