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 ...

did you try same earth with a tryed an tested dog was ther something in there to start with sometimes its hard for a terrier to find in certain eaths thats when a good nosed dog comes in to its own, and wouldnt recommend doubling the dog up tho i must admit that in the past ive done this but i admit its not a good idea has dogs can get killed doing this all i can say is keep taking the dog to earths and sooner or later the penny will drop and the dog will start finding .

sometimes showing a dog too many stop enders can get a terrier interested in the shovel too much rather than going to ground and finding for them selves just my opinion like ive said before natural born earth dogs are few and far between :thumbs:
