Trying New Dogs In An Easy Earth ?

[andy26 618]

We dropped my young dog in a spot nearly 5 weeks ago we classed as a easyish spot We dug it a couple of times last year when we first got the land but this time we dug it at the other side of the earth at 2.6m bar work all the way an nearly 3 hours later we broke thro to the young dog working well but very hard it was only the dogs 3rd dig an he's just finished healing this week ready for this weekend hope he's learned a lesson

Dug one earth twice last season (or one before ) 1 dig 9ft, other one 1ft. Just depends where foxy is when you enter a terrier.

 

Cheers, D.

I know a place an old tip filled with hardcore. I have dug it a dozen times at different depths usually it turns into a hard dig. I've dug it at 2.1 with great difficulty but it has been 1.2 1.8 and sometimes less at times. Ran it one morning expecting an all day job 0.4 under the spoil. Never thought it could go so handy, not a place id run a pup, knowing my luck the pup would end up at the deep side. When running a young dog on I try and keep it not too complicated so the pup can get a few hunts over them. The day will come that the pup enters a place you think is not overly difficult and it turns out a whole handling session. That's the time you know whether it has the makings of a good dog or not.

I totally agree with you,i always try to keep a youngster winning every time its to ground in its 1st season,helps them build confidence,in saying that sometimes it dont stick to the script and what you reckon is easy turns out to be a grueller but the terrier dont know what dept it is so its up to the owner to get down to it and get it out.

Dogs marked a place on Wednesday, mate said do you fancy a 10 footer, my answer - why not we're here, dropped my Russell dog in, got a steady mark after about 5 minutes, dropped down to him and a vixen at 1.1 said I was poxy for some reason

Dropped my old Russell dog in a big place two weeks ago worked it many times before and dug it last yr at 0.8 this time box said 3 meter first Meyer no probs then hit solid stuff bar wouldn't even go in a mil ended up getting farmer mate with machine to come took him three hours to do two metres eventually got thru to old lad and quarry dog in total of six hours not bad for a dog nearly twelve , going to retire old boy after that go out on a high that's what I say.

Tell your mate hang his boots up if he's ringing tired men out of Bed for 8 foot

 

You done many 8 footers on your own

1 word answer no. I'll stick to ferreting, If I had a 8 footer I'd ring fell and moorland f**k digging that depth any more than 3 foot is a rescue
