I received a call last night from some people in the city who had 4 groundhogs living under a wood floor tool shed in their backyard.They wanted them gone as did the neighbors.

This morning I loaded up little red and went to check it out.The entrance was tight even for a 13 lb dog.

Of course he settled under the toolshed.I trenched a few feet in to him.One groundhog accounted for and 3 bolted out the back.Landowner was happy.

Fair play to the dog, that hole looks tight as fk.

Amazing how tight a driven terrier  will go....good result

do those groundhogs try and dig away from a dog or face it and have a go???

In my area once a terrier makes it around 2 sharp turns the groundhog will be waiting for him.Our ground is hard so even a groundhog can't dig fast.Usually the groundhog digs away when using too large of a terrier that takes to long to get there or the terrier gets stuck.
