Ha! Don't say that, i thought that when i was out and told of what happened to a good man whowwarned others and he was in the dark. I felt okay in that Bit i was in , i could pull myself up and it wouldn't callopse on the sides. WATCH THE NO WEIDOS ABOUT, KEEP A DOG CHAINED UP

Lol I hope it don't happen and I think if your careful and look at the walls of the dig for firmness should be ok I deffinatley whuldent tunnle in or take Any risks like that alone whuld just start a new dig here's a question tho if you dog a square hole or you dig a oval shape hole what one whuld be less likely to give way ???

Would of thought, the oval one, if wobbly or a bad start. AT, MATE, NEARLY SMOTHERED up his neck, callopse, and the was a load of side above him ready to come down, deeper dig but badly started

Been doing terrier work with my dad and experienced terrier men for over 30 years and never heard as much crap about digging in all my life. I mean these were men digging to terriers about 5 days a week done sandy earths and eArths below the road and I can remember when the deben mark 1 came in . I seen us still at digs at 8, 9, 10 o clock at night when there were no locators and experience was the answer. That was terrier work

On sandy digs keep it wide and keep it square,and avoid working directly over the dog

Yeh I got one of those after a really really really long dig in sand, the dog didn't jack for a change & we were almost late for our sunday roast!........aah...the good old days....:-)

[neil cooney 10,416]

Good advice Smasher. Some lads wouldn't have any sport unless they done the sandy places but if there's plenty of sport otherwise sometimes they're best left.

The throw out should (but not always) tell you what to expect and as you say ,keep her wide.
