    I love the shovels from this company http://www.wwmfg.com/. Mudcat

    Yes, he still has his business. He was not bought out and he ended up buying out one of his partners. He was just up this week and hunted a few days with my brother. Speck claims I do not have a shovel that will fit his hand anymore:) Mudcat

    ya it was a good time when spec came up I wish he was still working the terriers. Speck was handy at a dig. He is now involved in match shooting. He has won 4 State Championships since he got involved in competition shooting. The boy can shoot! Mudcat

    I just ordered a copy and will give a honest review when finished. I am not a professional reviewer and have received no compensation from the author. Mudcat

    I had a friend who visited and dug in Ohio and he was impressed with the amount of game in the ground you guys could dig. Mudcat

    John dealt very fairly with me and was the one who helped me get my first terrier. He was really good to me and I will miss talking with him over the phone. God bless his family! Mudcat

    If you are wanting a small den terrier, I know some out your way and would be happy to put you in contact with them. Like Mosby said, they are not super hard dogs but they can get the job done. Mudcat

    I do not like digging earths that are directly under the entrance. I had much rather dig away from the entrance and especially if it is a one eyed earth. Worry about messing up the air supply. All dogs have their good and bad days. Mudcat

    About 8' is the deepest we have ever dug over here. We did get a mark at 16' feet this past fall, but thankfully the armadillo bolted! It was in a deep underground spring complex. We had no idea it was that deep. Sota

    Enjoyed the dig Pinave! The buried tool is our version of a gaff. It has a Bulldog spade welded on the end, or so I was told. I will try and get a pic of it up later. It is a very hand tool in the hard soil. Mudcat

    I was free casting in an area that I had hunted many times and watched my terrier as she headed up the branch and around a bend and out of sight. I waited for her to reappear, but she never did. I did not know of any settes in the small area I had last seen her, so I got out the box and it showed her about 90' away from the branch. She had located a coon in an underground spring that had its entrance hidden by moss and grass overhanging the mouth of the spring. It turned out to be on the longest running pipe that I had ever encountered. The above Jack is a pleasure to free cast, as s

    I dig small dogs here in the states on coon and woodchucks and they perform just fine. I have some in the 8lb range that do really well in the ground. Your quarry and pipe size is drastically different than what I have to deal with over here. Most of the time a small dog will realize that is small, and settle into a sensible working style. Just use common sense and the smaller dogs can account for game that would have otherwise remained in the pipe. Do not break thru on top of the quarry, it puts to much pressure on the quarry and it will take its chances on what is in front of him r

    I know of one good Border here in the states. She is a fantastic worker above and below ground. Always up for the challenge. It is a shame he cannot find a good working male over here to breed her to. Mudcat

    Mike, Give your dog plenty of time to recover before you hunt her again. Do not hunt her with a sore muzzle. I wrote this because you say you are new to terriers, not to be condescending to you, but to give you helpful information. Mudcat

    Mike, If this is coon, you are going to have small puncture wounds around the muzzle and head area. Use a good wound cleaning solution and follow up with Vetericyn wound spray or Granulex.. The ladies that dig with us use a product called Go-Dry that they really love. I believe it comes from Valley Vet and is Penicillin based. Use this on your dog at your discretion. If it is groundhog you are working, then the wounds will more likely be both on the muzzle and in the gums under the lips. Be sure to check this area well and flush out daily for a few days. We use Listerine cut with wat

    A small working terrier that fits well into groundhog settes is what we prefer here in the south. Since groundhog are a big part of our terrier work, we prefer the smaller terrier. For the most part, a small terrier will realize it is a small terrier and settle into a smart worker. I love digging the little terriers. You just need to use a little common sense when digging them. I tend to break through between dog and quarry, or slightly to the side. Breaking through on top of a chuck or coon will result in a lot of pressure on a 9lb terrier. I try not to destroy their confidence and dig

    A small red female bred here in the states. She was a cross between Booth, Nuttall and Gould lines. This little female had tremendous prey drive to get to the quarry. The times I got to dig her, she did the job as well as any I have dug. Mudcat
