gav22 24 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 make sure you want to do it first and get out with a few experienced men offer as much help as you can , carrying spades, walking the dogs, let them see you want to learn dont be loud and messy your not just out for a laugh your out to work and dont be afraid to get stuck in with the digging if you could get a season or two with proper men you will be set they could help you with your dog and give it the best chance of learning off there dogs dont be in a rush to get out digging without them and you will do ok atb good luck Quote Link to post

Nothing is better than experience but a good book is David Harcombe's THE WORLD OF THE WORKING TERRIER, that mans an ambassidor for terrier work and to follow his attitude towards digging, terriers and your quarry is only a good thing.
