Each to their own mate but I'd rather concentrate on the job in hand be that a seasoned worker or first year entry .Dogs wound up for any reason is not my thing at all and any noise just serves to give you away .Many lads been rumbled with terriers whining on couples and barking on the breakthrough .

I keep all of my terriers together,  always under supervision but I can keep the lot out all day without issue.  Calm and settled, no idiots tied up waiting their turn, you crack on and do it you

Spot on FD, don't follow that reply up because it can't be bettered.  I mooch around the stream behind my house with every pup I have, from 8 weeks old upwards they're given free reign to piss ab

In my experience on the subject ,the entering of a terrier should be carried out casually ,no fuss no winding the dog up .Each to their own but it's no coincidence the best terriers come from the  mos

I wouldn't take any other dog to a dig other than the dog your going to dig, it doesn't serve any purpose I know where RH is coming from but all the rearing etc should be done away from a dig, when there ready to go a train could go past them and they shouldn't flinch.

Your making yourself look a twat mate .Are you seriously saying there's no self entering terriers about or you just on the wind up .I've never egged a dog in let alone hole ended it .Plenty of stuff here self entering .

You seriously telling me that you take a young terrier from your yard and it works first time ??  No schooling at all ?

If a well bred pup gets plenty of time out in the country running about and hunting up and learning to use its nose it should ne able to enter on its own without needing to ne tied up on an earth listening to another dog working. ive had and seen plenty do it Ive even had them surprise me and do it before i thought they would.

I know that's true chum and fair play 

But Brian Plummer  (FD) ON the other hand is full of shit

In my experience on the subject ,the entering of a terrier should be carried out casually ,no fuss no winding the dog up .Each to their own but it's no coincidence the best terriers come from the  most laid back lads .Socialising ,obedience and generally getting out on a bit of mouching all leads up to the day when breeding is expected to shine through and nothing you can do from that day on ,apart from treating  them well and what they are shown  ,will influence how that terrier turns out. 

Those that havnt self entered of mine have been very few and were very noticeable in every day life leading up to entering ..

Take the young terrier to an earth collared up and let him wander not geeing him up on the first hole you want him to go in .It's never bothered me that the first few times may have been uneventful because I know just by watching the dog that his time  will come..

I want a dog to enter confidently on its own ,to want it ,not through any intervention of my own .

Get this right and you are on the road to breeding good stock ,only in my humble opinion of course .

Spot on FD, don't follow that reply up because it can't be bettered. 

I mooch around the stream behind my house with every pup I have, from 8 weeks old upwards they're given free reign to piss about and take it all in. At 8 month old upwards I'll let them walk over earth's (on a lead) just to see if they mark it. Maybe it won't be the first earth, maybe it won't be the first day, but within a few earth's or days I'll guarantee they'll be marking strong desperate to get in and investigate the smell that's firing their curiosity.  I NEVER take a pup onto a dig, every single terrier I enter enters naturally on its own,  no excuse,  no encouragement.  It doesn't always go to plan, we're talking about entering,  not working,  some are God given naturals, some are thick as shit and some take a season to put it all together. .............the joys of terrier work and the stuff that sorts terrier men from cannon fodder

 

Edited because my phone didn't like to say "piss"
