Fact is though that a fox will only bolt if it wants to or is forcibly bundled out by a slightly tougher type.So the type you're talking about although handy for some is in reality just a a dog that isnt good enough for digging with.

Like said the bitch is NOT a digging dog you need dogs for land you work , I'd say most fox want out when a terrier is at em that's way lads want dogs that don't let the fox past , push fox in stop end or hold fox in tube ??

Anyone breeding any small types this year after a bolting dog I had one and don’t know why I sold it worth it’s weight in gold any help or leads will be appreciated

Try a teckel mate, the majority of them stand of and bay so They don't take much stick. I have a bitch that I use mainly for bushing but she's bolted loads of foxes, she's in and out baying for 10-15 min a time usually gets them to bolt

A dog frustrated by not being being able to get to its quarry is very different from one with it though mate you would agree .

 

Although it better not make a habit of it.

Got to love THL with its tiny, narrow world views, and repeated arguments lol.

Sometimes a dog that stays till dug, aint ever coming out.

Sorry sheep chaser but I've got to say, it might seem heartless but I'd rather dig a mighty warrior dead than look at a coward behind me whilst I'm half way down to it( or so I thought).I treat my dogs like kings, feeding, exercising and housing, but it comes with a price, they have to work as I expect them to.

No ...... you miss my point. Some places you aren’t digging that dog, dead or alive.

Im not really a digging man at all. But all I’m saying is those little dogs that will go in but not stay forever DO have their place for some people on certain types of land.

I can respect that, but it's not for me. I don't do rocks, and on my perms I've never seen a place that couldn't be dug, difficult yes, impossible...not with a few good men on the spade, it may take a while but if the dog will put a shift in then so will the men.

If you think that a dog comes out an goes back in is shit well I'd like you all do a season or two on rock piles see how many hard digging dogs you will have left any one want to try this holds most of time

[timmy k 590]

That would scare the life out of me, but fare play to the Lads that do it. Thankfully theres nothing like that where I go.
