Single holes

[OldNog 432]

Iv been cutting gorse on my brothers shoot for the last 2 weeks and have come across about half a dozen single holes that have been opened up fairly recently.

 

I know that there are black and whites about and some of the holes were pretty wide like a badger hole.

 

Do pigs ever dig single holes and then live in them, and if not would a single hole earth if its a fox be a good one to start a young bitch on providing its not overly deep?

 

I have a photo of one as soon as i get it onto my laptop

 

cheers

single holers can be tricky mate. because the dog has got to stay and fight the fox but if she gonna be an earthdog then she will hopefully stay or bay which ever you have brough her up to be? what cross is she mate?

 

cheers

yeh brock will use single hole earths,and yeh it would be a good earth to try a young terrier on a fox in as long as its not over deep.

both her parents were fell types....mother a black dog and her father a red fell dog, both good workers.

 

I can imagen she will be a sensible dog to ground, she certainly aint afraid of anything and can look after herself. Shes not one of these horrble snarling creatures that fights anything it can but if something has a pop she will stand her ground and fight back!

ya they use single holes.it would be a good place to start your dog off on fox.but not all one holers are handy can be deep dug an earth one time with one entrance was 8ft so be careful with the young dog mate.

I find that single holes with hair around them are most productive!

[Guest silenthunter]

yeah billys use single holes bud and yes its also good for training your young bitch but some single holes are deep bud last yeah i dug 5 single holes to charlie everyone averaged around 7ft dig plus it will help your terrier out because it is defo going to come into contact with old fox witch will see if she has got to mix bay or push the fox back and stay with the fox dont be pissed off if she come back to the surface every so often just let here go about it here way theres to many people now days telling the dog what to do if she dont take much intrest take here away and go back in a weeks time then try here give here some time she is new to digging and the main thing is always make sure its fox down to ground not billy ie fresh footprints,signs of fox hair fox smell like really strong amonia and fox shit because if you put here down there bud and she meets old billy boy she be in a war anyway all the best with her bud and let us no how she goes on all the best silenthunter...

If as you say there is fresh kickout, it would be worth looking to see if there is any pad priints, this might tell you if there or what there is at home. Also have a look around the fields close to these holes, the hokings a badger make in the ground are easily spotted.

single holes can be very tight and if theres a small vixen in a small earth

your going to be asking a lot off your first time bitch if she dozent want to

push and on up

BEST OF LUCK

once worked a single hole in the flat of a wood,hardly any turn out so thought it wouldnt be too deep or go along way,found the dog evenyually some 30 yards away and about six foot deep,so you never know.
