Was he digging tight to cubs AT? Thats usually the problem this time of year digging to strong dogs, they push up too tight. I lost one this time of year about 8 years ago. It's not nice.

he was 8ft,first foot easy then 6ft of solid clay he went quiet 2 ft to go I knew something wasn't right,box read 1:8 ft he had been quiet 10 mins still same spot my mates saying he might have hold but I knew something was up we just started to dig in to him made a hole size of fist through luckily right on top of him could just see a bit of his collar my mAte squeezed hand through and lifted him out of sand he was lifeless his quarry was right there in the sand with him, got him out he was ice cold I cleaned airways cleared his mouth etc and he inhaled a big Breath I wrapped him in my fleece put him in rucksack and carried him back to keepers place put car heaters on full gave him bits water etc and just talked to him and rubbed him etc he came around after about an hour,was scary stuff , my vet just checked him over again today says hes ok atb At

Well done mate I'm glad it turned out alright for and your little warrior. A terrier is one of the bravest animals on the planet JMHO.

Good to hear mate. When we dug my dog the quarry was dead too. Totally blocked off the air.

Haidhelliwr theres 100% cubs about. My mate has dropped on 3 litters and another mate dug a Vixen the other day with cubs in her. Also a mate in NI has dropped on them too.

Dug a vixen on Monday when opened her up Cubs were size of a runner bean, few weeks off here . lad I work with snared a dog and vixen in same midden opened her up she was either barren or to early to show

Yeah I think there few and far between atm. Had 2 Vixens last week with no signs of pregnancy.

A mate of mine dug some 2 weeks ago and he said they were a week or 2 old and another mate dug cubs Wednesday. So it's about time for me to pull the plug

I agree Shane any signs that will be it apart from lambing calls which unfortunately we have to attend

Dug a litter last Thursday that unfortunately the dog killed .About 7-8 inches long so born early by any standards .Only time to get on the ground in many places so will carry on .

We are coming to the end FD the list is nearly complete! Scent was excellent yesterday hounds were flying! None put to ground but found three at home all seperate and two were vixens no visible signs on them of being pregnant! Probably only going to be a matter of time! Lambing is starting to gain momentum and we have had one call already! Our problems really start when the adults start feeding the cubs!
