Getting permission for terrierwork


Recommended Posts


knock doors and be prepared for a few knock backs.....try and get out with some tidy lads,show them your trust worthy and ffs don't be pulling your phone out and start snapping away lol......sheep,dairy farmers and chicken/game farms always a good start.get some public liability insurance and a few cards with your details on  them,can leave them with the folks you try.be patient could take some time......good luck mate and always do right by your dogs?

If you happen to meet em in the pub, give it time wait till their drunk even buy em a drink or 5, then strike take full advantage and pop the question. It's an option if fairness.???. They may not recall what you said or may not even recall who you are the next time you meet but it's worth a shot. Or do it the easy way just call to the house an ask em if he ain't there you may get to bang the wife ,one good deed deserve another, that's also another option, you've got so many options who knows what can become of it.

knock up some permission slips on the computer. I get the landowners to sign them stating what I'm there to do.your contact details, vehicle reg etc on the back,if I'm parked up on side of the road then I leave one on the dashboard saves the slippery keepers thinking your a wrong un and slashing your tyres(has happened in the past ?dress smartly and just keep knocking doors.20181203_183608.jpg.efa055c46c51d2c25b6a7b53f53cee20.jpg

Hi What’s the best way to find permission for working terriers on ?  Thanks ??

Go beating it’s a good way to show you are sensible young man that can be trusted let loose in the country side,once helping out on the shoot you will hopefully get abit or ratting & rabbiting & dogging in which should go a long way towards some fox work.regards public liability insurance this usually comes with your house insurance,for years I was a NGO member mainly for the insurance but it came to light when BASC members were trying to claim that you can only claim off one public liability insurance at one time and as most folks have house insurance the BASC insurance is abit of a waste of money.

I haven't done any terrier work for year but I do bit with the runners and permission is hard to get And easy to loose.

best advise is what dc said,and stu, get out beating,offer your service to local farms .

you might get lot knock backs but only takes one to say yes and then it's down to you and your juck to prove yourself to landowner.

good luck

Good point about the beating, second bit lost me?

Cheers, D.

Lol DC mentioned public liability insurance which is a fair point, I was just trying to make the point that public liability insurance comes with your house insurance so for most of us it’s a waste of of money taking out a separate insurance.

      Hello lads, merry Christmas and all that. I’ve got a terrier in my kennels that starting to test my patience. 
       
      Great dog, keen as mustard and all that but time and time again I’ve broken through to her steadily baying away only to find she’s sat with something mid tube on one occasion I broke though and there was nothing there however last week I said to myself if I break through I’ll clear the tubes up and pop her back in to make sure it isn’t my fault rather than blame her. Lo and behold it was sat about a meter back from the open end of the tube and eventually bolted itself - Happy says, a nice morning out (I only dig on my own and keep it private).
       
      However today we popped over to seasoned place, in she went, which was an incredibly large earth with multiple holes spanning across a bracken bank. Straight away she sat at 2.4 baying away well, too many entrances to net I kept an eye out for the bolt but nothing was to be seen. For the next hour maybe two she barley surfaced and worked the entire earth sitting and baying on occasion but shortly moving on and covering a great distance. Eventually on one occasion when she popped out, nose down looking for the next way in I picked her up and sat her back in the truck as I didn’t want to be sat there for another hour trying to get a mark. 
       
      my question is simple, what am I doing wrong? Or is the bitch at fault for not working her quarry to a stop end and staying. She isn’t massively experienced however for what’s she’s done I’ve found she’s intelligent and very safe often comes away without a mark. Please don’t recommend PTS or moving her on, I understand many terriermen wouldn’t tolerate this however for the times I have dug to her successfully it has been a great pleasure. I’ve had a conversation with a lad local to me and his response was “she’s not hard enough to hold them” which made me think one man’s preference may not be another’s. 
       
      all the best & happy new year

      Morning lads,
      so I’ve always had black fell terriers and work them to ground. But for a few years I’ve noticed people starting work slightly broken coated very short coupled terriers that are little savages. I never really get a clear answer to what’s in them but I really like the look of them.
       
      one chap told me he’d crossed his Sealyham with a Russel and it turned out a good little worker. Just wondering if anyone else has had any experience with this breeding specifically for earth work? 
       
      thanks

      Good evening Gents,
       
      Using this platform again as I find it a great way to reach out into a pool of knowledge and great experience.
       
      Now I don’t work my terriers to hounds here in Ireland, but more than often will find myself having a wonder about my permission and trying the terriers in some common spots. However, I have noticed I’ve drawn more blank days than good and wanted to know what those who don’t work terriers under hounds provide consistent work for their own, how do you go about your day out to guarantee an earth will be occupied and how do you feel about drawing blank days.
      I worry by doing so my terriers will go flat and maybe cause a negative impact on their careers as working terriers. 
       
      Go stead, 
      Oshea
