When you do, get someone else to lift the quarry away rather than drag it, before bringing the dog back for another look.

You say the dog won't re enter the earth after breaking through,at this point has the fox been drawn or despatched?Or is the fox still in the tube and the dog won't re enter?Some more detail needed here.Assuming the fox has been dealt with,the dog appears to be doing a good job,but would also agree with others that at some time in his career he's bound to get marked if dug regularly.I would sooner have a good strong bayer,that would only mix it after you break through perhaps,and as long as the dog is not baying to a fox more than a foot away then i'd say your mate has a good terrier,

Higgins.

higgins your on the money here! more details needed? i agree i like my terriers to get hold when you break through! the dog is only young and with experience will mabe get more confident and harder, i no a boy who whilst breaking through to a young dog accidently hit the dog with the shovel!! so every time from then as soon as he nearly broke through the dog wanted out! but after time he grew more confident and turned out ok,but like has been said more information needed, this is a good thread and some good replys from good terrier lads.( good stuff ) do you want to sell this dog mate? (only joking) good luck with him. mainman.
