hi sj there quite a few terriers that come to mind being hound shy,well is it hound shy or inexperience.because i 've kennelled terriers in with the hounds and had no problems.it's the frenzy on the earth's that start's it off with the barking and people shouting. the terriers have overcome it, by being worked on they're own, away from hounds, once they start working they don't care about the hounds, but i've only experienced it in young dogs,hope it's not that russel mate

one of my best terriers made me look a right tit on an earth a few years ago because of hounds marking and men shouting and cracking whips,its just a matter of geting them out with them every week,she soon got used to it and has done her job for hounds to a high standerd for years ever since bit easier for me because she lives next to them now.whats up then mate them bassets crosses bullying your beddies?

The Russell couldn't give a stuff mate, it's my beddie Tag, he was kenneled with Hounds for 6 months over in Belfast so you'd think he'd be used to them, last week as you say, people shouting cracking whips hounds in the hole etc etc turned him into a shivering wreck, this week he slipped his lead and became the hunted, a big hound bowled him over and he just made it to the gate in time.. he is lucky to still be here to be honest, the rest of the day he was like a smack head without his fix, couldn't settle him at all... he's 2 year old now, seen enough on his own that you'd think they wouldn't bother him, but they do... as Woods said, makes you look like a right tit

bet that hound has put him off for life mate if hes that bad perhaps you should just keep him for out stopping, or on your mooching trips,but saying that will the hunting on top with your hound types fetch him on around the bigger hounds?keep us posted

I bought a John Cowen dog nip which worked great on its own till I enterd him with hounds first time work great till he came out went straight back in once he so hounds all round hole end and took over a hour for him to come out he was just like a popping ferret anyway tried him on is own again work well but when he came out I tried to pick him up and then he locked on to my hand gave him another chance out with hounds went in a rock pile again onces he so the hounds would not come out so he had to go which I gave him away to a far better terrier man than me and he is working great on is own onces he works he is just left to claim down and as never bit since .

The huntsman onces the terriers to ground goes a fair way away from bolt holes and lets terriers get to work with out much distaction from hounds whips and folk but they have to get used to all what goes on but like fireworks some dogs it is a big thing others dont give a moneys,

Good hunting .

ive known of a few cases, huntsmen not taking hounds far enough away generally, would you want to work with all that noise and teeth around you!

[mouse 282]

got to agree with winkhound here.if the terrier is working then huntsman should take hounds far enough away for terrier to do its job.should be done automatically if the huntsman has anything about him.

Didn't do him any good that's for sure, he was kenneled over in Belfast with the bitch hounds but always a bit odd with them, when it came to feed time he just wouldn't eat with them around, anyway we split him from them and put him on his own, he was fine from then on, didn't quite click in my head that he was hound shy, just thought he was a spooky fecker.. Out with terriers and lurchers he's fine, just get's on with it, minute he sees a hound he's bolloxed.. just have to keep him for Sundays and mooching callouts, he's not afraid of the dark or pointy teeth, just big dumb Welshys eyeing him up like a lamb chop same hair do as a lamb

I know how he feels

The ones i have seen have soon learnt that marking hounds mean one thing....Work time!!

Terriers that were petrified of "strange" dogs soon became not bothered at all about the hounds all ripping at the earth and deeply baying.

 

It only took a few times for the penny to drop...

if he gets to like work enough he'll soon forget about hounds.

I've often been out where hounds couldn't be kept well back and it never effected good terriers. It might make starting a young dog slightly more challenging but nothing stops a good terrier.

good luck with him,

Bryan

He's worked with hounds before, always has been a bit of a spooky fecker, he does enjoy his work, I will keep taking him out, just strange that he's gone backwards, went out this afternoon, had a red one with him.... in the ground. no hounds about.... he won't be out this weekend that's for sure..

I know accidents can happen but IMO a huntsman and whip should be able to get a pack back far enough to be safe, even with young hounds in the Autumn.

Not only can it have a bad effect on a terriers work but in this day and age it can get a hunt in trouble.

Look what happened a pack here in Eire last year when two or three couple got by the Whip. Their liscence was suspended for several weeks.

All because an anti bitch from Mulligar was looking on.

Swanseajack it sounds like you still have a very usefull terrier for stopping and your own days digging.
