LOOSING QUARRY


Recommended Posts

Man, I've had the same thing happen. When I was younger I used to really egg the dogs on to go to ground or check a scent whether I knew something was there or not. This is one of the worste things to do. The dogs learn that going to ground and barking equals praise. That should not be the case. Only praise your dog after quarry is dispatched. Not saying that's what you've done but that's how I got mine doing that.

Take someone with you that knows a bit more than you, he might be able to shed some light on whats going on.

Sounds like he's sitting back to far away from his quarry, if the earth is shallow enough to sit + listen to whats goin on underground, do that! Listen to whats goin on underground, listen for differe

is there any signs he was at the quarry?sounds to me that its sitting well back or could be false marking!

Thanks for advice lads, usually dig to him mid tube, but it does look like the quarry has been scrattin on but seems to be goin on a long way if there at all but the last few have stank of Charlie, but I am inexperienced myself so not sure [bANNED TEXT] the f**k is goin on, and only 1 terrier between me an a mate it's a proper novice situation

Good to see some sensible advice given for a change (apart from the odd numbtee) this is how it should be for us who are starting out, much better than asking a question then raking through post after post of abuse for not knowing, hope you get the result you need, good luck with the dog dude :victory:

If your wee dog hasnt done much there may well be one in there, being mid tube I would say things could have been getting tight for the dog and hes just not keen on pushing on through the tight part. All we can all do is guess though so best thing you could do is next time sit back and give your dog plenty of time. When trying holes with him dont make any fuss at all over it(Dont egg him on). Have you dug him before with a fox infront of him?

This is really startin to do my head in, when I have given my dog chance to settle in then start digging, when I get to my dog there is no quarry in sight and sometimes I can't dig on to see where it's gone, even though it stinks of fox, dunno weather it's dug on and dog can't get to it or he is bayin on scent or not, I have only had a few with him so maybe inexperienced I don't know, but it's gettin very annoyin

 

Any suggestions apart from a new terrier ???

give the terrier time to settle more its all about knowing your dog and when its ON
