sounder 9 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 right where do i start!! well as afew know on this site i was greatfull to scent awhile ago to get a dog from him that i call waterford anyway after afew pm's phone call, i had invited him to come up for a dig when his young dogs where ready, so today was the day as dig were far a few between in his side of the country, he got here at about 9.30 with two digging friends, a quick cup of tea and off we went , i had 2 earths lined up that i never done in years , the first one was dead as was the second one i was getting worried at this stage so we moved on to the next one where scent tryed one of his young dog, in mins he was on and was at 1.0/ o.9 on the bellman, we dug to it, where it was stuck to it. a great start to it's digging life, the game was let run and off again,we got to the nexted earth where scent entered his second young dog right in it went and again was on we found him well up along a wall and left it afew mins so we opened up it was 1.1 on the box i think, but he moved up more before we broke in so we dug again there was a stone blocking the tube so the dog could not push up but was still only a foot away from it game we change terriers to give it a pocket, where it work well , again the game was let run , he has some good young dogs coming on well i hope today will be the making of them, so off to the next earth where i collared up waterford in a earth that i never dug before, in he went in a few mins he was on barking away but was moveing alot this place is big ,alot of tubes deep in one side. we had him at 1.8/ 1.9 on the barryvox where we started digging as we broke in the dog was just behinded us and a tube to the left and right try the dog up again where he went left and right in and out but could not find it we entered him a good way down again where him had no interest till he self entered on hearing a low bark i looked to my left and out bolted a big fox across a little river he jumped and off up the hill to run another day , so as the we came away happy enough we said we go up the road and try a handy stop we knew i entered waterford again again he we on where he was only 0.9 on the box 9" !!! we dug into the side of the earth wall where he was jaw to jaw to his game where the game was let run again. so with three digs and a bolt i think he was happy with the day.as his young dog have a good start for there digging life, and i wish him the very best with them, hope to see them next year for afew more dig's i would like to thank him and his two mates for coming along way up, and to sounder jnr, richie ,danny and bing from here for a good day . you welcome back anytime scent,and feel free to add anything i miss out on, cheers sounder here photos of our day , scent add afew photos of yours as i was too busy digging Quote Link to post
