SHOW US YOUR PATTERDALES

[Squirrel_Basher 17,104]

Training is apart from entering though mate would you agree .You cannot train a pup to enter .

Always brought a pup along on a dig can't see the harm , as soon as I see it making a drive for the entrance I will try it the next outing. Often works and on the issue of a dog jacking if you happen to have another terrier on a dig which we always do ,and the dog jack's and you dig the same quarry with another terrier no excuses should be made but each to there own some will put up with it some wont

I know of a bitch that was entered over 20 times and failed 19 of them that has went on to become a very very reliable bitch that has seen a serious amount of work and hasn’t put a foot wrong once she started proper.

the bitch done well to get 20 chances

Indeed she did. Lol. It was actually more than 20 but I just rounded it off to that. Lol. I had her for half of the failed attempts and a successful dig then give her back to the man that breed her and he just persevered till she eventually clicked and she’s never looked back.

That person has some patients I'm not for one second saying your lying but that's like winning the lotto. I'm glad it worked out but a cat with nine lives would have not got that. So dogman just curious was she on quarry 19 times and failed and then clicked after that

Experience and knowing your own stuff, that's what it's all about dmd.

AHH come on would you give a terrier 20 times to ground before you call it a failure experience also can show that can be an awfully waste a time and that time can be put into other terriers showing more sign.

I personally probably wouldn’t but it would depend on the circumstances. To many lads try them once and get rid instead of giving them a few runs after all you have them for a year and a half what difference will an extra month make. If it works out all well and good if it doesn’t it’s only a bit of feeding. To many just to quick to pull the trigger

True it's finding a happy medium Shane. Alot can be said for holding on and coming good with a terrier but also the same for spotting a joker and wasting time. It's 2 to 1 and half a dozen with the other.

A terrier not wanting to go to ground 19 time I can see people having patients but a terrier going and failing 19 times I would find extremely difficult to keep.

There’s lads I no keep getting bad pup after bad pup like they say. But if u ask me it’s all down to entering right in the right places at the right age. Don’t over face them and keep them winning there first season. In out as quick as u can then second season u can start putting time over them. Some lads will never have f**k all because they don’t no how to manage three pups. I’m not saying my way is the right way but it’s been good to me over the years. And the same lads doing all of the above still have nothing in there kennels 

[howdeeposxxt 1,449]

Same carry on here in the premier.

Some get confused when a dog may  look physically ready to when it's mentally ready knowing is the difference 

[howdeeposxxt 1,449]

That's why I say when a dog is looking to enter only let em and if they are not keen hold em until ready
