well the picture was taken in July,no one in the picture has a digging bar or shovel,but they do have whips with lashes on.might have been that they were hunting on top with a "pack of terriers" like Lucas and came across badgers lying out in the summer sun,rather than actually having dug them with the Bedlingtons???

There's loads of breeds that resemble their ancestors.

Doesn't mean they work like them though.

Good points, and may be the answer but its highly unlikely for a billy to be out and about unless injured or other wise tempted from its earth, and that is a fact!

Not saying never but its not very common.
