[higgins 75]

old nog get up early well before it gets light,get your equipment checked(take everything you need,don't forget torches)try to get there as early as you can after first light and slip your dog in,take notice of what's going on and be prepared for some digging!Best of luck and let us know how you went on,

Higgins.

Good morning!

 

well i went out and was there just as it was getting light. Didnt notice and fresh marks outside the entrence but collared the dog up and let her in. She went to ground a bit causiosly (this was her first time ever down a hole) and had a wonder about but seem more intrested in trying to dig down in the entrance to the hole!

 

Anyway i kept encouraging her and she did go further down and gave a few barks and growls but that was it.

 

Now i dont know what to make of this....was there someone home and was my bitch being useless or was it just excitment and a bit of caution? shes seen foxes above ground and was mad for them and when she had a few barks underground she didnt come running out she just kept buggering about in the entrance!

 

hmmmm a little bit of a concern. I dont think il try anything again until i find someone to take me out with experienced dogs so she can learn because i dont really think she knew what to do!

Hey up old nog , told you that the bitch would remember the smell and enter on her own ,but thats just the start the rest will come with experience and time ,bit of advice though never encourage your bitch unless she has definately made contact !! or you will wind her up and be digging to a rabbit or worst case nothing at all. Good luck only time will tell sooner or later you will come across the right earth where the bitch will bump straight into charlie and then its up to her..

old nog she might have gave a few barks because there was still a fresh scent of fox out of the hole .The fox may have moved on yesterday or even last night .You will meet on to ground soon enough pal plenty or rain and wind and they will in the ground

Cheers chaps

 

I recon i was over encouraging her....getting myself more excited than anything!

 

at least i know she will go to ground so thats one step in the right direction

 

There is apprently meant to be some colder weather coming in the start of next week so il leave the place quiet until then

Try & leave it for a few weeks , as the scent of the dog will linger in the hole & put mr reynard off until the scent of the dog has gone .
