it takes a dog with a very good nose and a good brain, and 3 or 4 seasons of working rock to work them proper mate

It takes a dog that was bred for rock to work them and there thin on the ground not seen any for a very long time as most rock piles i know have been taken over by badgers

This is an interesting thread. I have been working some dogs in the sides of some very rocky hills in central Texas. I have no experience with this kind of hunting but enjoy it. I will say it scares me though. It is very remote and inaccessable, so it is to a large extent up to the dog. I have mixed feelings about it, but the area is full of game. There really isn't much doubt that I will loose some dogs here. I don't know of anyone over here that has experience with this type of thing so any advice would be appreciated. If I need to start a new thread I will. Thanks

A good rock dog will find in any earth, unfortunately, the same cant always be said in reverse.

 

 

For those of us who have had to get down in amongst it to possibly rescue a dog, and seen all the myriad of cracks and gaps all with wind blowing through them , which f****n one do you take ??, then the wind changes direction and your back to square one, thats how it must be for a good rock dog, they are a rare commodity, and should be treasured greatly, they deserve every bit of respect that they earn and then some.

 

ALL good working terriers deserve the highest level of respect afforded to them, its hard earned.
