woottonsheart 214 Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 lol cheers mate and the reason i wanted to know other peoples views was .. i bought a terrier he was a lakey russell pat mix .. left him alone and he was bringin rats to the patio started from 5 months on his own accord .then as time went by he was marking under the shed having loads of them wich i thought mm well he is keane .. then i had to replace the neighbours cat as it came over the fence n the dog nailed it .. as he got to about 15 months old i took him out on a dig with a pal of mine at the end of the dig the dog got stuck in and he put time in .. so a few weks later took him out and he jus would not go to ground dont know if there was something i done wrong along bringing him up but he just would not have it pop his head in then turn back n run round earths ...
