About the trade, any help would be greatly appreciate as I would never put my dog in unnecessary danger If you would never want to put your dog in unnecessary danger then no good using him as a earth dog , as every time your dog goes to ground there is always a chance you could be going home with out a dog or a badly hurt dog 3 Quote Link to post
timc20xe 73 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Go look at some active earths with your dog on a lead and see if he is even interested first if he is pulling hard on the lead and marking well then find somebody to take you out Quote Link to post
aaron01 737 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Get a good locator spade shovel and a bit of permission the rest is trail and error if your lucky enough to find game to ground and the dog digs it fill your holes well with a good mound on top to allow for the filled hole to sink there is no quick route to being a digging man because every dig is different and you learn a bit more every time your out wether it's your first season or your twenty first 5 Quote Link to post
