[gnipper 6,426]

Try it when another dog has marked the earth and its definitely holding.

A question for those in the know as I also have a terrier doing stuff above ground but wont enter 15mnths old from top lines in this country. does it help to give them a look at the fox when its dug to? Ill be give blackbucks surgestion ago next time we dig a fox ive been very patient and not tried to forse him in any way but our season is about to start again and it would be nice if he had a go.

Have you let it rag a dead fox yet .if its in there blood and head theyll self enter out for a walk terrier disappears then you wish he wouldnt go to ground lol only joking but others need a a wee bit more schooling if they wont enter so give it a spin in a blocked end even when the other terrier is working the fox below ground it should wind him up but put the shovel infront of the fox and if he starts smelling round it lift the shovel and seee what the outcome is and if you dont have another terrier just keep on trucking and hopefully something ill click in the dogs head good luck

Just because it smells to you doesn't mean someone's at home..

Its a bit hard to give advice without a bit of information about the dog.

Have you had it from a pup??, what age is it?? if bought in as an adult, did the previous owner try him and discover him useless?? has he seen another dog work fox?? there are far more questions that need asked before anyone can realy pass comment or advise.

And please dont call a dog that pokes his head in a hole game, your doing a lot of genuine wee workers a discredit.

 

hope all goes well with the wee dog, but put more info up.

another know it all-what you digging to pal?probably f**k all-if you cant help the man out keep your mouth shut if i was you pal i would try the above mentioned-tie him up while digging to another dog and let him listen-show him 1 behind a shovel-but for f**k sake dont let him scream into it it could do more harm than good then try him on his own next time 1s home.be patient and happy digging.atb bobby

[BlackBuck 655]

Agree. Bobby Some super know it alls on here , super bullshitters more like . If the wee dogs only 18 months don't panic he's still young . Any opportunity u get to let him hear or see another dog work will do him world of good .
