folly terrier foot 1 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I was wondering how many people on here use more than one dog at a dig site. I have noticed that when I have more than one the first keeps digging in and the second pulls dirt back out and cleans the tunnel. When I have only one dog it keeps digging and all the dirt gets left in the tunnel and then when the dog wants to come out it has to dig back out. I'm scared to hunt one dog now cause I don't wan it getting stuck. There is no way they would ever be able to pull something out of a hole cause they can't dig in reverse, unles the original hole was allready big enough for them. But I hunt jagds on fox so they have to do some digging. Anybody else have this kind of experiance? What is everyones thoughts on more than one dog in a hole? Thanks, Sheldon if your terrier is digging on trying to get to his fox why the f**k would he want to turn around and come back out if he done the job right he would be their till he was dug to with the fox. if he gets stuck dig him out.doubleing up dogs is a fools game.their a two diffrent type of digging men the lads that live for terrier work and will test their dogs to the last to know for sure what they have in their kennels.and then theirs the fools that dont give a f**k how many dogs are in as long as they get whats in the hole sadly their are alot of the wrong lads around thats why good dogs are so hard get because you have lads breeding shit of theses doubled up dogs Well said tt, and if you send 2 dogs down the earth the back one will push the front one into the fox and causinging him to get ate alive!!!!!!!

ASBO 8 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 causes too many problems and unessaserry punishment for the dogs plus the dog at the back will start biting the backend of the other one and thats just for starters Quote Link to post
sawtooth 0 Posted July 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 Okay I guess its a bad idea. The only time I had two dogs digging they where after a squirral. The only reason I would want them to back out is to drag the fox out saveing me digging. But I,m new to the whole digging game. I have jagds because I hunt more of other game that russels or pats wouldn't do for, at least like I would want. Thanks for the advice guys, I take it as doctorine. Quote Link to post

Get yourself a baying type terrier & set of nets if diggings not for you. Quote Link to post

I hunt a lot of tree game and run jagds with my hounds. They need to have a good nose and be open on track and have a ton of gritt and drive. I'm not saying that a russel or pat won't work for me but I have jagds and I like them, not going to switch just so I can hunt ONE of the many game better and chance suffering on other game. I would like to do more digging and am just trying to figure out how its done. I figure it will be fun to do when there isn't anything else to hunt. Quote Link to post

jpnixon 7 Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 i could be wrong here but is it not illegal to work two dogs at once in the same set i think the law is that one dog to bolt a fox to waiting guns for the protection of game birds and livestock, correct me if am wrong. So i think this topic should be closed now. IMO Quote Link to post
