digger. 615 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Tools in the bag I think is the word, well maybe not tool, but handy dogs for different situations. More people should think what they need for the places they work their dogs. ie bi places, tight places and type of ground, just like a lurchers work as well, you wouldnt choose a saluki to bush with, dogs for jobs. Just like the 10 minute wonder, worth their weight to a lot, then you get others who would waste their time. Something like that could actually save trying to dig an undiggable place if you were to enter a dog that was a stayer, whereby would save you from the chance of loosing a decent dog. I hope this make sense, im not pissed, and am sure the more experienced lads can see where im coming from. makes sence Quote Link to post

valerio 32 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) One of the jagdterrier I've now is 40 cm tts and about 13 kilos and is limited in is use.He will try every thing to get there but sometimes everything is not enough. I've another five dogs and the biggest one is way smaller than him,most of them half the size,having quite a big pack I can have him and only using him in the right places. I think most of us have seen big powerfull dogs mouled by quarry simply cos they cant move having pushed them too tight Edited February 18, 2012 by valerio Quote Link to post
