jigsaw 11,875 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Talking to a mate of mine,he was out last weekend and put the terrier to ground.The dog is a well proven animal with many digs under his belt so to speak.This dog is an up and on full contact kind of dog so after 40 minutes of moving all over the place my mate was a little bewildered.He settled in one spot and they dug an easy hole to find him 2 feet from a cub no bigger than a rabbit.He was stunned and released it into the woods to run on.After checking the dog his front pads on his feet are shreded from diging up to the cub.The ground is like flint still and way too humid for anything deeper than a fast dig.The dog is ruined now for the next few weeks but finding a cub this late was not expected.Your thought on this please if you have any?

He may keep on top of those feet, and watch out for infection or it'll be longer than a few weeks Seasons are fvcked up anyway, rabbits were breeding nearly year round last year as it was mild Quote Link to post
