the durham digger 127 Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 My terriers give a good solid mark if i take them coupled up to an earth. If you want a dog specifically for marking earths i would look into getting a hound or hound cross. Quote Link to post

bulljack 480 Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 you want a dog to find and mark not go to ground, so a good collie/hound is ideal once its stock broken which is paramount this time of year around sheep carrying lambs, my wheaten is bang on as a marker like a jcb on a hole but always a chance she could get to ground, its hard to beat a well mannerd lurcher to do the job. 2 Quote Link to post
