Big ego why the fork for that wee handy earth 

Don’t go a walk out the hill to dig one earth, and I’m afraid not every one is as simple as that

with age come experience so the more experience the deeper more difficult the earth should be the rule

sure thats the way it is for a terrier if only young terrier lads had the same thought process then there might not be as many failed first season dogs

I’d put my terriers in most places but only a fool will go looking a deep earth for me I like nothing more than being able to listen to a terrier work and given it time to settle and then making the experience all more enjoyable

Everyone loves a shallow one now and again but nothing like going home with a smile on yer face after the dog has put in a good shift in a hard place like DC first pic there, a lot of dogs will do a couple of hours and it’s the deep hard ones that let you know what type of dog your keeping

Agreed tho them deep hard places will come to us all at some stage. I suppose it’s all down to what type of dog you keep to dig these hard places 

[milliken 791]

they all learn there trade in theses places be they mixers or hard types and they don't need all be deep know a few rangy places with very few ends it takes a good dog to dig them
