I dug up and down the country with ken that was normaliy on invite to see his dogs work and the comments where only good .no bleepers in them days all you had to dig to was bumps and grunts some times 2/3 hr or longer to get a mark .the good thing was only 1 hole to dig thanks john 3 Quote Link to post
snizle06 202 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Those dogs must of taken some hammering with no locators Quote Link to post
donnyc 1,203 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Those dogs must of taken some hammering with no locators Does a locator cover them with body armour? LOL Quote Link to post
fat man 4,741 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Those dogs must of taken some hammering with no locators Does a locator cover them with body armour? No but at least the terrier if its a hard type can be dug to a lot sooner than pre-locater saving it unnessesary punishment.I know what its like to be crawling about hands and knees listening for the faintest thump or sound,droping bar holes and ear to ground listening,the locater has saved many the dogs life. 4 Quote Link to post
snizle06 202 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Well if he was mute I would imagine they could only of dug the shallow places with him pre locator. Quote Link to post
tripodcrest 4 Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 hi snizle 68 no mate it did not matter how big or small or shallow or deep the dog was entered the only ground that was not liked was ash pits as you could jump on the top and hear it give way father down and smother your dog john Quote Link to post
tripodcrest 4 Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 snizle68 just a quick one but how do you knowe the depth of the dig before the dog is entered to say deep or shallow john Quote Link to post
pablo esc 1,598 Posted March 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 snizle68 just a quick one but how do you knowe the depth of the dig before the dog is entered to say deep or shallow john snizle68 just a quick one but how do you knowe the depth of the dig before the dog is entered to say deep or shallow john youd have a good idea looking at it but woudnt know if it's always like that, unless it's a very small size and depth. Tripod, I'd say the task was no push over and you probably couldn't pick ,choose ,many Burrows ?? Quote Link to post
