SHOW US YOUR PATTERDALES

[Mixedgrill 704]

Every earth is different and every time you enter a dog you expect he or she to dig it we could go on about this all day long but my terriers only have to suit me

it's everywhere around the 1 area we dig mixed with big chunks of flint,horrible stuff if there's been no rain.....when it's been dry,the quarry seem to search out the deeper spotscan be hard going then

All the upper ground round me is chalk with sand on the lower .Nice pics S .

The beauty of chalk is ,you are fairly certain quarry ain’t going nowhere given a steady mark .

Few ash tip round us too ,usually bits of iron work to contend with .

sand I hate with a passion,would happily  walk past it given the choice   ☹mixed with that chalk dust, the older dogs suffer terrible  with their eyes stuffs not digging on to far in that chalk...local in the Welsh valleys it's all coal ash and shale ,we call it  duff ,can collapse like sand,known plenty dogs come unstuck in relative easy spots not that deep☹then right by me are old tin mines....run stuff to ground and a little rabbit spot from the outside opens up into places you can stand up and run down in places

Brought up digging sand so know how to deal with it ,no pissy little holes ,no jumping in and no tunnelling on .A deep dig is daunting though

Nail on the head bud, do a bit with sand too, can guarantee it’s lying in the deepest sandiest place every time and I always tackle it, couldn’t sleep at night if I walked away from it

The stuff here in kk is hard slig we try to avoid the hard places but eventually keep going back to place that hold year in year out they maybe hard digging and I mean seriously hard that you what ta give up and each year you repeat I'm never coming back here but each year we lie to ourselves. But a dig is a dig and be glad of it.
