Butler 396 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 After shooting the fox you should of re loaded and shot the dogs no point in wasting a good hole. Quote Link to post

Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Well it was the first time the dogs have been dug too, both are still young and very green, hopefully this will serve as a learning curve for them both, and they'll work better and improve as time goes on. It wasn't ideal but for a first dig it wasn't a disaster either, I enjoyed myself and it was a pretty big dog fox, hopefully the two terriers will learn from this and improve from there. All the best for the season. PS. Can I add that none of us will come on here and bullshit about our dogs like they're something they're not, if either of them don't improve with time then they'll not get the space in the car and they will be replaced.

dev 226 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 sounds a bit of a mess but yous got the result, hope the young dogs improve Quote Link to post
scent 509 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 it was their first time being dug to and they done the job after a bit so fair play to you for being honest and as for shooting the dogs ,GROW UP they are only young they will learn the trade Quote Link to post
Guest miller1989 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) Well done lads,you cant expect too young dogs which was stated (NEED BRINGING ON) to stay till dug to,great honest bunch of lads after reading the topic! Good luck to both dogs next time! Edited January 14, 2009 by miller1989 Quote Link to post
Guest miller1989 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 ask yourself that question! WHY? some do some dont its the luck of the draw it comes to them in time! Quote Link to post
fellman 116 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 to be bluntly honest ( and trying not to be a t88t) its not a great start and if a dog has found it should STAY........ if it cant find thats fine lack of experience etc etc ...... but finding and comming away is a long long slippery slippery slope ........................... hope im wrong but i doubt it yis fellman Quote Link to post
gazza01 0 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 i have found some young dogs come out when you start digging to them I'm not making excuses for the dogs but iv seen this happen in the past iv just encouraged them to re enter not ideal but you have to give them a chance Quote Link to post
Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 The Black dog came out without a scratch on him when he showed at the entrance, it wasn't like he was running from any sort of chit chat with the Charlie, he just doesn't know how to work these earths properly yet. When he eventually got up next to his quarry he didn't flap or back off he had it backed up baying at it, until we broke through and pulled him out. Hopefully with how things went this time he'd of learned something and will continue to learn, if he don't and carries on messing then as I said he'll be replaced. It was unconventional to say the least but the job got done in the end. All the best for the season. Quote Link to post
