ask the man yourself if he wants to bring his dog for a dig and see what reply you get mate the best way id say. as you say its your mates mate and he dont no if he would. bring his dog..

we did 2 new earths last week, the first was in the middle of a steep bank, it looked deep but we put the bitch in and the tunnels all ran along the bank

[Guest dee mac]

if asking someone out on a dig and you ve a few bigger places in mind then what i think would show your genuine is too toss a coin heads your own dog goes in tails the guests dog goes in then they ll see your willing too enter your own dog and not trying too pull a fast one ps i ve been asked out on many occasions and have been asked too drop a dog in some hairy looking places but nice feeling when you get the job done .

If i had someone up for a days diging,i dont think i would take them to an earth that we would be stuck at all day,what would be the point if say they had maybe 3 terriers with them and you wanted to see them work,nothing wrong with 5..6footers when there is guests.Every man knows the deep or awkward ones in his area,and if we are all truthfull we tend to stay clear of them,there's testing a dog and there's been stupid,why put a dog at risk for the sake of a big ego,there is plenty of 8..9ft holes about us that we dig,but we know them and have dug them a few times and the diging is not bad,but we do them when we are out ourselves.jmho,atb.

[Guest sparky]

It's new permission and we've only had one dig there last weekend, there plenty to go at there. We could have asked him on our old permission but it's very hit an miss, so I thought as he's had a bit if a journey I would go to a place where we would have more of a chance of a dig!!

 

fair enough..

[artful212 394]

ive been out with felas that pick and choose holes for there terriers and i dont mind

it means as il drop the dog in and test my own dogs...atb artful

It's not finding the difficult earths that are deep or have few stopends that are the problem, it's having the dog to go in the places and get the result IMO...

[lonedigga 22]

A few years back i took some visiting lads to a spot that had never failed to hold but could be a bit of a b*****d as the quarry was always on it's toes.Due i think to the fact that the farmer always had a few russells running about the farm and they were having a go when they felt like it.On this particular day 3 of their dogs were tried and all failed to get a result,Comments were made about taking them to a bad spot,So i felt a bit of a twat but knew that it wasn't somewhere that i'd avoid with my own dogs having dug it many times (and failed a couple of times) So when they went back to their b&b i returned to the earth with a dog and dug it successfully.The photo on my phone later that night when we had a few pints went down like a lead balloon...

At the end of the day if its digable and on permission you drop a dog in !! if he dont want to then there dogs proabably aren't up to scratch. Should be no excuses?? You can only find out if its a hard earth or not unless you try it. some run straight up and are easier than you think.. no point going out unless you try it..

[diggingmad 1]

have you tried you dogs there if not why not

if you dont know how deep the earths are i think not

what sort of digging is it and does the man traverlling have anything to prove

a pity fatman every one had not got the same opinion as you alot of people invite lads out to see dogs fail in holes

that they would not put a dog in them selves its my opinion that if you bring a chap on an ivite to a deep place at

least have the honesty to put your own dog in if he does not like it.

other wise afew digs would be ideal so different dogs can be worked

[the_stig 6,614]

done em both on invites 4 easy digs in a day 1 long hard fecker -- if your dog performs well for you thats all that matters .

[diggingmad 1]

I agree with most of the comments but I would like to here if there is a reason for the man not being keen on is mate working his dogs in the earths at this place

Has marshman worked is dogs on this land

If your mate picks his earths then I would not want a pup
