The website above made me gag. I cannot believe people will work hard ( terriers prone to fighting) terriers for days on end and thus ruin the sport for everyone. These people made horrid accusations how terriermen will never take their dog to the vet after an injury or how we are genetically deficient... I cannot believe that they would lump me in with these people. I do not use my dogs to shred game, their job is to hold or bolt not to pick a fight ever. Terriers should always be able to recall off of game... always no excuse...
I wish I could confront one of these people and have them explain to me what is wrong with using dogs for something other then show. It seems like all you can do nowadays is trot around the ring, there are even groups wanting to ban herding (beyond crazy).
I want them to know I do not hunt for sadistic pleasure I do it because my dogs find joy in it. I never force them to work they always have more then the recommended shots, I always have a first aid kit for them and I will always take them to the vet because they are my partner... not just a tool to use for the hunt...
