iv owend at least 10 digin dogs mate from Lakelands to patterdals some wi good blood lines an some with out an the bitch that im using at the min as bin the best she's a little cracker. She will stop till the end wether its a 20min dig or a 20 hour dig. This is just my opinion I no everyone has there own standards of digin dogs.

Stay all day , straight in no messin about and will search and clear the burrow if nothing at home , good with other dogs around the hole, and I personly like a dog to mix it up bit 2 hard or soft but that's me , my friends like rock hard dogs and even one like only keeps pure sounders , but the mean thing is up and don't move it get moved about, and its hard to get one to do it all

A stayer a real guttsy sounder that doesn't give an inch if the truth be told but I admire a mute dog hard and fast every dig the basis for breeding in my opinion

you say it came from a pet home do you know its breeding might be bred out of some top dogs might not but unless you see them bred you never know as long as it works. and the only person it has to please is you good luck

To me good breeding is the start of the jigsaw, then bringing on a pup and getting it out amongst everyday things progressing onto out coupled up on digs as it gets older, then when you think it's ready letting it go and hoping it has the drive, nose, determination etc. to see the job through until it's dug to is what makes a digging dog. I think a dogs upbringing bears a big resemblance onto how the dog will turn out as the final product, not saying all dogs make the grade but a good upbringing and confidence in it's owner helps a dog to be a better finished article IMO.
