    Of course You can. I don’t see any change being my point. The dog you keep depends on the work you do.

    I don’t know how it’s changed, you have a fox dog for foxes and a badger dog for badgers. The dog you keep depends on the work you do.

    What happens if they come across other quarry in the rock piles? I know of a few piles up north like that, will the dogs just leave them?

    Not worked many rocks apart from a place near where I was brought up. My father used to go to it and it always held and still does to this day on the first heavy rain fall. A big slab of rock with two small cracks as entrances and goes deep, a wirey dog would be used as it dropped to over 20+ ft. My father said he once returned to the pile when a local lads dog was lost in the area, when a guy crawled out of an entrance with a head torch on and said he found a dead dog at the bottom of a ledge with a fox sat up high.

    Yeah terrible in snow, had a dog that would have snow balls collecting on its fur that would get so big she would struggle to move. A clay dig was even worse.

    I find they’re all over the country but in small pockets. A small area of a couple of farms may be lifting with them but a mile down the road and there’s none. I put it down to the boom in buzzards. It was a rare sight 20 year ago to come across a buzzard now they’re common place and will hunt in urban areas which must be ruining the rabbit and hare population, anything that moves is dead.

    A lot of earths never get damp as the tubes run under a layer of hard ground, that’s why they’re used. That being said, anyone ever come across some earths where they’re soaking wet at the stop? I often wonder why the quarry would lay rest in them.

    Good dig on your own ? Much rather the hard ground, dig steady away with no rush and more enjoyment, whereas when the sand goes real soft i worry a little.

    I would apply for a license also and then I’d collar the dog up, as there’s no reason not to, as far as the dogs safety is concerned.

    That’s all well and good if your culling everything you hunt, but if your releasing game like people did this side of the channel, the stand off dogs will leave you with plenty of holes and not one of them successful. I respect a dog which doesn’t take any punishment but I also have respect for a dog that won’t move no matter what is thrown at them. I have even more respect for an animal that outsmarts the dog. Talking about those injuries on this thread is a bit careless as they can be sustained with legal fox hunting and doesn’t indicate that the dog has worked Badger.

    Grand easy digging in shropshire, they soon go deep though! ?

    I find it terrible how you can’t take an opinion without spitting your dummy out. It’s absolutely brilliant how you can still hunt the way you hunt but it doesn’t mean your way is the most effective, personally I don’t agree with tongs, which you use, doesn’t mean I’m right or your right, different cultures and different rates of progression I suppose.

    Don’t be soft, no need to threaten to end a thread due to a someone's opinion being viewed.

    The hardship digs are the ones you remember. How you break the shovels?
  16. rob284
    That pup is a crumper ? something to look forward too!
  17. rob284
    So you was shovelling shit with a lad wearing a collar last night was ya ?
  18. rob284
    What wife? ?

    I doubt they’re digging more than one hole due to a mismark. Your usually pretty bang on the money with the ear and a bar. I’d say it more to do with the type of terrier they’re using. I’d rather be in the french lads position though ?

    I’d have to have a few to drink to even contemplate putting whatever that is on a dog ? what is it btw?

    Tried to message you apache but you can’t accept them, your inbox full?

    Black or white, I’m from the north of England so I’ve always been around black fell types but I’ve seen a couple of decent whites whilst over here and was impressed, so I would be over the moon with either.

    Rather not golf in the winter though, I’d end up looking for earths on the course!

    Lads, anyone planning any litters in the future as I’m looking for a wee bitch pup. Had offers this summer from a couple of lads with bitches lined but due to bad luck, Mother Nature has decided they’re not to be. So I’m back to square one. My dogs getting on now and I think there’s only a season left in the old lad, I’m just after moving over to Ireland so I don’t know many lads and the lads I do know don’t have anything to breed off as of yet. Any help would be appreciated. Failing that I’ll take up golf haha cheers.
