JUST FINISHED 8FT DIG TODAY

[Simpson10 50]

Hello all

 

Got a call from a friend, him and paul fitz off here had took there young pups out for a couple of digs and got a mark at 12pm ish and put a 12 month old dog pup his first proper time ground and they got a mark of 2.6 they just started taking the top off and the shovel snapped so they rang me i was out with the dogs only about 5mins away so i headed over got there about 2pm and the dog was still roughly in the same spot so i started digging nice easy digging sand and soil a few roots got down to the dog at about 8ft in a very tight spot struggling to get right in so removed the dog and tunnelled in as much as possible with it being sand didnt want it to collapse in still not sure if he was on but u have to go with the dog i had a good listen could here something digging on so cleared out and opened up abit and put dog back in on a lead just incase he pushed on and locked on so i cleared it out and opened up a bit more i could see the fox so managed to pull the dog out and dispatched the fox and let the dog pull it out to the hole it was a nice dog fox, for the dogs first time to ground he did well about 4hours to ground not bad, so let the pups have a rag and let the lads do the backfill you have to let them do something as normal i took a few pics but my phone has no flash the pics in the hole were no good and quality not so good but here you are cheers for reading

Not my dog for a start mate and can you tell how deep every earth is when you enter a dog not allways funny enough that earth normally allways produces a quick bolt but not this time, things happen mate

Sink or swim mouse.

 

And how do you know what an earth runs to?

 

Just because you have dug it at 2 foot in the past doesn't mean you will dig it at 2 foot everytime.

Exactly mate, you can only try and find easy ones but doesnt allways happen, it would of been a different matter if it was a quick bolt but thats the sport

did your mate not know how deep it was before he put the pup in.we never know every earth but if starting a pup its in a place i know inside out for the pups sake. .theres a time and a place to start pups.you can never guarantee a bolt mate.
