Are you for real?
why put it up on a forum then , if the dog was up to the job at what ever age it was it would be still about today.
how old was the dog anyway?
think he proved he was up to the job by staying with his quarry til the end he had enough oppotunities to come out but this was a real terrier who stayed to ground unfortunately on this occasion he forgot to take his grafter to ground with him!so il take it your dogs go to ground for 10 mins then or even better dig themselves to the surface,listen mate my dog was a top dog so dont be slaggin it off u got nothing construc
