a quick dig


Recommended Posts

my mate phoned me today after putting a fox to ground i took both my russels. i knew the earth well which is only a pulled out single hole rabbit set about 3 ft deep and only about 8 ft in length (i've ferreted it plenty of times).

i decided to enter the younger russel jack as he's only had a couple of piss easy digs so far and this one was'nt going to be any hassle.

as soon as he entered he made contact and all that could be heard was chomping not a whine, bark nothing, i thought he had the arse end, any way the box read 3-4 ft so we started digging which was nice and easy, then about 1/2 ft from breaking through the dog moved, he was coming back, now i was thinking the worst as this dog is very unexperienced but after listening at the entrance i knew he still had a grip, i still thought he had the back end as he still had'nt made a sound but i was wrong because he was drawing a very big fox which turned out to be a vixen, he pulled it completely out and it was virtually dead with minimum damage to him.

i was over the moon with his performance and i think he's going to make a handy little dog ;)
