BRYKAY 2 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 IF A COLLAR/LOCATOR SNAPPED BELOW WHILE THE DOG WAS WORKING(had a few with teeth marks on!) THEN CAME OUT, HOW DEEP WOULD IT HAVE TO BE BEFORE YOU WOULD SAY "BOLLOCKS, IM NOT DIGGING FOR JUST THE COLLAR"? ITS HAPPENED TO ME A FEW TIMES WITH FERRET COLLARS SLIPPING OVER THE FERRETS HEAD WITH ME BUT NEVER A TERRIER THO..... "CURIOUS" THATS ALL???? Quote Link to post
CorkyJohn 808 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 If it was an old Deben not very deep unless it was easy going, if it was my new Bellman I'd be digging like a b*****d to retrieve it Quote Link to post

Aaron 3 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 (edited) first of all the dog shouldnt come out so you wont really know its lost the coller till you break through to f**k all, so its too late, obviosly you will probobly think sumin is up by then anyhow as there no banging or baying etc but id carry on the mark, and then go from there. im not sure what price the bellman collars are now but there a good days wages, depends if you can afford too loose a day dont it? it has happened to me digging (trying)to a mates dog. it went to qaurry and came out with out the coller on because he didnt put it on properly! dug to the coller at just short of 5ft, if it was my choice id of left the dog there!

Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Seen it happen, a mates bitch bolted a fox from an old tip and the bitch came out without her collor on, it was a ferret collor stitched in to a normal collor. my mate dug it out at 3 feet or so.

dev 227 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 (edited) it happened to me, the collar came off my young bitch in an earth, we were getting a steady mark and had started to dig, but we could hear the battle beside the entrance and then the fox bolted with the bitch behind him. we had to dig the collar, only 3 ft so not too bad. edited to say,it was a bellman and flint collar Edited February 2, 2010 by dev Quote Link to post
