CorkyJohn 808 Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Owned and worked a jack Russell a lot of years ago the dog worked well to fox and would stay till dug to we were checking out a farm we had just got permission on we were walking along the bottom of a very long steep banking when my terrier put his nose down and away he went he started to go up the banking through gorse were we lost sight of him went to the last point we seen him and yes you've guest it an earth two holes about 30' apart with a lot of grassed over spoil outside both hole so we knew it was an old and well established earth we listened at both holes not a sound tried to marked the dog with the 15' locator turned up full bung not a click from the box we decided to wait and see if we would get a bolt sat for a hour nothing we decided to trench in between the two holes as we opened up the hole the banking kept slipping very dangerous any way we dug for 3 days the dog eventually came out him self. Well after that I made sure any terrier I owned would come out of the ground if I wanted it too. If you have a terrier and you need it out of an earth for any reason and you shout it and it refuses to come to H.M.V. Then that fault lies with the owner of the dog. Unless the dog is stuck This is just M.H.O Can't understand why anyone with any experience would allow a terrier to be running free on land they dont yet know or have recently acquired....asking for trouble Can I ask how long you have been digging foxes?[/quoteLong enough to know its a bad idea letting a digging dog hunt up on unfamiliar ground....

CorkyJohn 808 Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Mole it happened to me with my first digging dog, I thought I knew the land and let the bitch off on way back to motor. She dropped into a small place under a tree with no collar on. After ears to the ground I quickly dug 3ft to an unhurt newborn litter, located the dog again this time breaking through to the adult. Quickly back filled whilst being watched from 200yds by English Heritage visitors....mistake I vowed not to make again 1 Quote Link to post

I take great pleasure in training a pup and at the end of it you've got a terrier thats a pleasure to work. Quote Link to post
