Pinave 80 Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Hi, I'm new here and new to earth dogs, but not new to dogs. I've worked with protection dogs for about the last 10 years, but have been interested and researching working terriers for a couple of years now. I'm in the US, so it doesn't seem near as popular as it is over in the UK, but I'm hoping to meet others who hunt with their terriers. I just picked up this little guy, who is supposed to come from all working stock. The people I got him from said I can hunt their land anytime I'd like when he comes of age, and I'm really looking forward to that, but for now, just letting him be a pup and working on obedience. In the mean time, just trying to learn as much as I can. 13 weeks old and around 8 lbs, I believe. Just picked him up today, and he was very confident straight out of the crate. 4 Quote Link to post

Accip74 7,112 Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Welcome mate & good luck with your pup..........what's your main quarry likely to be? Quote Link to post
Pinave 80 Posted July 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Thanks. The people I got him from said the last 5 gens have been worked on possum, coon, groundhog, and fox. I'm hoping he will eventually get a chance to work any/all of those...and of course rats. We'll have to see what he enjoys most, I guess. Quote Link to post

Pinave 80 Posted August 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 As far as I know, there aren't any laws on docking tails or cropping ears here. I don't know what her reasoning would be. Quote Link to post

Pinave 80 Posted August 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Just a short little video. I don't normally play tug much until after the adult teeth come in, but he wasn't letting go. Really fun dog so far. Quote Link to post
