dannsmith97 0 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 I'm an apprentice keeper and looking to get a terrier that will be fit for work when I leave my current estate, I'm not overly experienced in terrier work but I know lads who are, I could use some advise on getting my first dog, and generally setting myself up cheers Quote Link to post
Bosun11 537 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 My advice would be to study the terrier forum, find the true terriermen on here and you'll then find your dog. Quote Link to post

dannsmith97 0 Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Thank you, they have dogs but its more trail and error for them to find a dog Quote Link to post
david901 162 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Hi mate, You need to decide what you need from a terrier. That will be difficult if you have limited experience........ Some terriers are good at bolting foxes - good in difficult to dig places. Some are good at killing a fox, and others will stay with the fox until it is dug out. You should speak to as many blokes as you can and figure out what you require, then try and find someone who breeds that type of terrier. Cheers 1 Quote Link to post
dannsmith97 0 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Realistically a dog that can bolt as fox is best as it means it reduces the time spent in certain areas and around me their are quite a lot of people and do gooders, I'm not looking for a hard dog that will kill the fox just something small and handy really Quote Link to post
trapliner 92 Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Said it yourself really get a little bolting bitch so u can get round plenty of places in a day especially if there is a fall of snow worth their weight in gold to a keeper when time is short little Russell bitch ideal if u can find one.

dannsmith97 0 Posted June 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 So just something smallish but big enough so it doesn't get knocked about? Quote Link to post
