stop.end 4,079 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Cheers guys. Stop end, ....Hot spring/early summer + no substantial rain at the time = HARD GROUND. Surely you can understand that? My main permission is the commerecial shoot my brother works on, a job needed doing so i had to go do it. Bitch is 4 and half i think and was slow to start. Being my first terrier i probably didnt help things along much and most guys would have binned her before now im sure. I coulndt really give a monkeys about depth, deep or shallow doesnt worry me, all i care about is seeing the bitch work and getting a good out come. Got nothig to prove to nobody Simples. right different horses for different courses...... but ill tell u this you have a lot of dreaming to be done if she 4 and a half and her best dig is 1 hour odds.... ill save dis quote for when you mate her then ehhh Quote Link to post
snizle06 202 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 i wouldnt judge a dog by its time to ground but more by its performance when in ground. ive seen terriers in ground for 2-3 hours only to be 6 or 7 foot away from there quarry or to let stuff by just before you break in. also seen them crawling around all day through tubes after quarry and not getting a result. is a dog that takes longer to bottle up its game better than the one that does it straight away. 3 Quote Link to post

Granted for her age she aint been tested as much as other dogs are, but unfortunatly i work 5 some times 6 days a week, I train for boxing in the evenings and have sundays off. Like i said, ive got nothing to prove to anyone. A dig is a dig to me regauardless to depth to me, im happy enough with what i get. Having permission on a commercial shoot doesnt give me free reign as and when i fancy a wonder about with the dog How about now you go away and beat your chest somewhere else because i couldnt give a monkeys what you got to say about anything to be honest 1 Quote Link to post
wulf 32 Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 the time spent to ground is just as much an indicator of the digger as it is of the dog Quote Link to post
