I'm a young lad and done most of my digging with lads my own age some have been idiots and some been as good as you could want I've also dug with older lads and had same some idiots some spot on... I currently dig with a lad my age and I couldn't imagine digging with anyone else we have the same aims and attitude towards working terriers... Would also like to add I've had some great help off older lads over the last few years we all learning at all times so its always good to listen
