dog coming off

[terrierman taunton vale 82]

this is a good topic!

it just shows that the digging game ant always put a dog in and dig it out!

Knowing your dog and reading his body language is a important factor in the digging trade.

The dog sounds a good one, its a shame it almost fell under the spewing catagory because of somones ignorance.

keep thinking and listen to your dogs

 

all the best

Always trust your terrier.

Untill it lets you down, then consider your options.

If there is no trust, you dont have a partnership.

why dig to a dead fox,and why would you expect a lakeland terrier to sit beside a dead fox till you dig down to it,if they kill the fox and wait for you to rescue them then they are not much use,and how long would you expect them to stay in an undigable place with a dead fox,judgeing by some of you on here it would have to stay with a dead fox till it starved to death,or if it came out you would call it a jacker and kill the dog anyway,

you talk like a c**t it the name of the game to dig for the dog whot if it trap and plus you want to see what going on when you brack in call your shen a terrier man Edited December 29, 2009 by deakin

partnership is what you need with your dog and a man to leave is best mate down to ground is a wanker to me mate

Personally ,i would have been embarassed to have to dig that last two foot to prove what i knew already .Cant be the first time hes killed underground surely .Seen it too many times to get in a strop about it .Dog comes away with a mouthful of charlie fur and refuses to re-enter .To the 10 minute crew ,lol,this could be seen as jacking but it would be they who dug the last bit to disprove it .Knowing your individual terriers working style is as big a part of terrier work as the breeding.Do you want to perpetuate it ?I wouldnt use a killer in a deep spot personally but thats just me.

Once worked a huge bale stack with a pest controller that was being paid for the job .I entered a killer ,reason being either a dead fox or a bolt ,no middle road .Dog showed after an hour and i boxed him but the farmer went off on one not believing me .I calmly explained the situation but he was having none of it and who could of blamed him really ,he didnt know the dog but i did .A loader was sent for while i sat in the truck ,drinking coffee.2 layers down and not one but 2 freshly dead foxes were uncovered,3 meters apart.Farmer had to coff up another £20 ,bet he wished hed kept his mouth shut .

no one mentioned a trapped terrier,you cant be confident in your dogs ability if you have to dig down to find the fox everytime you use it, and it dosnt do the setts much good either.

If you dont dig down and see than you never know we can all make excuses when they quite and say the kill it or did they just quite i would never keep a dog that did not stay till dug no exeptions

mike how long would your dog stay with a dead fox in an undigable place.i just dont understand the need for all this digging for a dead fox or why .a dog would want to stay underground with a dead fox,either a bolt or a kill makes life a lot easier ..

i would never leave a dog i have had dogs in bad spot where i had to bring in help to get them and we always do and i know a day may come when i cant get to them it happens i know i couple of guys that lost dogs this year because they got in to undigable spots but i also can tell you this the dogs i have here will die in the ground before they would come out and i woudn.t have it any other way 1 i dug twice and she needed cpr and another time she was going in to shock and could hardly move from fighting so hard for so lond she has killed game in the ground and stays till i get there and if thy dont well boys its called culling and i think more of you should try it if it does not stay then you are only fooling your self into thinking it killed them game sometimes it might but then how do you know and if it did it still quite in my eyes
