My Bushing Terrier.

[bryanm45 787]

Here's my lad now at only 9 months now, bought him as a patterdale but has grown to about 16" tall now and weighs a ton, I started by encouraging the traits I wanted with treats and not treating the behaviour I didn't want, I take him beating on a local shoot, the keeper likes him and gives us the blackthorn to work with the springers, can work him with any dog he is not aggressive as he is more interested in working, he's been my first bushing dog and even at this young age my two whippets have seen a lot more game and now wait outside where he is working for his alarm call, although to big for terrier work it has worked out fine for me as he has no interest in going to ground. Long may it continue.

Lovely looking dog would suit me too as im not into digging to much like hard work ha atb with him.

[bryanm45 787]

Digging not my forte either, when I'm ferreting anything over 3' is a cup of tea and wait abit more, only one other thought is damage to the end of his ears when bushing the thorns, does anyone else's dog have this problem, should I try and protect them or will they toughen up.
