If you put the dog in a deep earth then 2 deep digs is more than 10 shallow easy ones IMO

yea but your not just putin the dog in and digging him out yuo want him to be looking and digging on aswell as digging him out a few like that then up the pace

as hedz 31 as already said dont really have set amount of digs for first season i have a dog and bitch ready for next season they will be 17 month old september which for me personally is right age to start them off if i got 6or7 digs each out of them i would be more than happy for the fist season

Spot on, i wouldn't give a shit about the deapth, a dog hasn't got a watch on, i would want him or her to see as many different situations and types of earths as possiible, ten 1 footers is better than one ten footer. If the game was as green as the grass or was digging on and wouldn't face the dog then would it matter how deep the earth was ?.

good question id also like to see a young un in as many situations as possible,if it was hard then it would need longer rest than others 8 to 10 digs would be ample for its first full season.

i started a young bitch last season and gave her 6 digs but she started too hard and was in sick bay for longer then id of liked.Id of liking one or two more but i think thats where iv fcuked up young terriers in the past.Great thread by the way kevin

any man thats into his digging has spoiled a young one at some stage thats fact but as like the dogs we learn from our mistakes

indeed kevin id be the first to admit iv spoiled young dogs but giving them too much too soon.IMO all it takes is dropping a young terrier in the wrong spot and thats him ruined

yes you dont now if its green as out and you wouldnt want to be diggin ten ft to a dog wat dosent no wat the criac is just sat in the tube wondering were ya man is. if it was only shalow you could open up and sort it out for the dog to dig on to it. and as we all would like to think the dog shud be diggin on any way

And any man that says they have'nt are liars.I brought a bitch from england in the late 90s and dug her the very next day,she was 13 months.Then i was perswaded to dig to her again 3 days later and she done her job but took a lot of stick in a bad place under roots.I gave her about 6 weeks off then but when i took her out again she did'nt want to know.A good bitch spoilt by stupidity.

it happens as there s a fine line between too much too young and two little as i think a young dog thats been molly cuddled and get s it easy for long periods can get a big shock when they meet a fiesty bit of game and think too themselves this aint what im used too and be out beside you just as quick as a young dog over matched at a young age. yes young dogs need too be entered sensibly but you need to be pushing them on a bit after each dig to let them know that there s going too be many days were there going too have too earn there dinner and also too see if they have the most important thing in my opinion DETERMINATION .

I'd give him around 6-10 digs depending on the difficulties encountered, if they get plenty of hardship leave of for 3 months or so and only work small game
