Maybe he breed the dogs for hunting abilty souly in mind and breed so they wouldnt go to ground.not every 1 thinks a digging terrier is the holy grail of hunting.
Id not own another digging terrier,id not own 20 years of terrier breeding that refused to enter,would you?
If i was after a bushing terrier and this mans dogs were good at there job.it wouldnt bother me if 40 years of that breeding didint go to ground.dog is being bought as a bushing dog not a digging dog.
