Chid 6,495 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 fit a lamp shade thingy from the vets bet it cant get to ground then you will find it hard, easiest thing to do is keep her on a lead or put a locator collar on her and carry a spade .. Quote Link to post
shotgunny 39 Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 What's the cheapest locator collar as I'm skint at the moment ? Quote Link to post
artful212 394 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 il swap you for one that wont go to ground lol oj mate not something ive tried to do Quote Link to post
mudd dog 128 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 If your skint mate buy a few metres of cord from your local diy. Tie it to your terriers existing collar when it goes to ground. Then u should be able to get a mark on the dog. If that doesn't work, at least you'll be able to pull it out backways. or the vets lampshade sounds good as to me. Ha ha lol Quote Link to post
shotgunny 39 Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Hi mate the problem with the dog is that when she is flushing from a hedgerow etc she finds an earth and goes to ground.should I bring her up to an earth on a leashe and if she tries to go to ground her a shout or a little slap on the arse?

Chid 6,495 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 if i was you id get rid of the dog and get a dog that wont go to ground like a springer or cocker ... or a plummer if you keep the dog i cant see you stopping it going to ground , now i have seen a dog that wouldnt go to ground unless told to , how he got the dog to do this i aint a clue ... you will end up losing the dog again and if you aint got a locator on it ,it will probably be lost forever next time Quote Link to post
wexford-digger 1 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 if ur lookin for a cheap locator i know a lad in dublin selling a debin mk3 box n collar for 100 euro Quote Link to post
