I got myself a lurcher to work a bit of cover and mark any occupied earths. I'm curious how you all train your lurchers to become useful tools for a days digging foxes. 

thank you

Best bet is to go out with some lads who have allready got good solid marking dogs so you know from there Mark that there's a very high chance someone will be home.

Study and watch your dogs behaviour and see what he does to show you his mark on the allready marked earth's. For a couple of outings then take him himself 

Some dogs give unmistakable marks and others alot more subtle which comes down to you as a owner knowing your dog.
