I think Bob Scott has had *lots* of porky-terrier experience! :lol: :lol:
I know a number of terrier workers tha have had to retire dogs because once a terrier gets a face full, it often goes to war on the stick pigs, sometimes to the point of ignoring all other quarry.
Unknow to many people (vets included) is that dogs can die from a very heavy blast from a skunk in the ground.
When a terrier is hit underground we put them on an IV right away to flush the kidneys. They may be fine tomorrw but a day or so later can die from toxic shock.
Same as with stick pigs, some dogs have to be retired after getting skunked.
The smart ones are very obvious when the are in skunk avoidance.
Digging out a skunked dog is really a nasty job.
