I don't know exactly what do you mean by "mix", it means to bite ? If it means to bite, they are more barkers than mixers. Betty, the left one on the pic, is my best jack (10 badgers in 5 hunts this

Why does the French terrierman like a big dug hole?

Because he always digs with a pickaxe and so he needs a big place.

On the other hand, he spots the dog with a bar. It's not always very precise. A large hole reduces the risk of digging in the wrong place.

Moreover, he isn't hurry and he isn't alone in digging.

Over here, a very good dug hole is : rectangular, straight walls, sharp angles, broken behind the dog or just above. The best is flat bottom at the bottom of the gallery before taking the dog. One search, one dog, one badger.

Honestly, We don't dig like this each day.

If you trust your dog, you have time to dig, not a small hole like a cone. Great confidence, big hole.

Probably different in other countries due to different way to hunt.

This is the end, middle of january. May be one or two hunts more and stop.

Badger hunting is closed during births until weaning.

as a rule of thumb 4 foot depth  then 4 foot square  6 foot deep  6 foot square  thats the way we have always done it iam a big ol lump so i need room to move

But you need a 10ft hole for a 4ft dept mate or else you dont fit in yourself lol
