  6. iceman your right catching a bolter is important,, but most quik dogs can,,, its not just marking either,, its the following round of the action underground,, its as if there talking to you,, cos they know far more than the owner as to whats happening and where..,, when your on your own , and the dog understands what you want and need, you could be in an akward place,,,, but the dog "gets it",,,, it understands.... as socks has siad in the past,,, lots of dogs go ferreting,,, but not many dogs are ferreting dogs

  9. that bit of film, was from earlier this year end of feb,, early march,,, she was 6 this june,, she doesnt always get behind a hole evrytime,, that particular warren was just 3 holes, but spread over a large area, somtimes she will be infront of a hole.as she hears it rumble up the tube and grab it out the entrance ,, theres a clip further down showing this. i honestly couldnt say how long it toke for her to become a yousefull ferreting dog,,, not perfect,, but usefull, but i wil say i think its a big MISTAKE taking a pup ferreting with other dogs,, the pup is always going to be bossed
