Quitter?or a bad day?

[valerio 32]

on monday morning I decided to try a two holer less than 500 meters from my house.This small set goes down under a big rock and is undiggable as 90% of local earths are.My russell Tappo give a certain mark and was soon in and baing well.he bailed in the same spot for 20 minutes or so than I heard the sound of battle started and the quarry moved but didnt bolt and the dog started baing again and a new fight started.to my surprise the dog come out with some minor damage I encuraged him back in,he went back in and real fight started but no way he could bolt his quarry.After 10 minutes or so he come out again and didn't want to know more.Now the dog his 3 years hold and has allways done what I asked from him,he has been down with hard quarry up to the 3 hours mark in rock and has taken much worst punishment.All my friends rate my dog as a good one so I cant understand why he quitted so fast.as fast as his wounds are solved he will be back to action.

Im interested in your opinion,can a good dog became a quitter in this way?or it was only a bad day?

Hi, maybe he thought "job done" and there's a dead polecat or fox under that rock now?

Might not have been a charlie???? If it was you'll get a better idea the next you you hit with him.

it wasn't a fox,that's for sure,harder quarry but he has been succesfull many times.

i agree with Targa, my terriers will kill at times to ground, but once the fox or watever is dead they will come away, have very litte interest.

if the earth cant be dug and the quarry wont bolt, then eventually the terrier is gonna be sickened anyway, but maybe he killed is quarry, or maybe the quarry had moved on and the terrier could'nt get ?

something similar happened to me the dog found in a tough spot to dig the quarry was hard got him self in a thight spot behind a big rock my dog took a bit of a hiding as he could fit behind the rock with him he came out after 40 mins so we entered a more experainced dog which just sounded at it until we dug down to move the rock then he got stuck in two weeks later i dug two with my dog theres a different dog for every hole he s still young and its all experance
