staff/patt X apbt is my guess

If a european badger was confronted with a sounder pre ban would it ever bolt? I know a NA Badger would probably dig away

So a traditional approach would be to use sounders and hope for a bolt... If no bolt then use the T bar to help locate... Is the T bar driven directly into the tube occupied by the dog and fox? Then remove the T and listen?

I'm wondering if there are any folks who choose not to use electronic locator collars and instead the old ways. At first thought it seemed irresponsible to send a terrier to ground without a modern locator. But then I got to thinking, people have been working terriers for A LOT longer than there's been locating collars. I just got to wondering if anyone intentionally opts out of the modern equiptment in order to hone more traditional locating skills/techniques... Much like a traditional bow hunter might shun high powered rifles with scopes, etc for a more traditional approach- knowing full wel

I never met Bob either, but as both a fellow Kansan and terrierman I am saddened by the news of Bob's passing. Rest In Peace Bob

No, problem. I'm sure you'll have many wild adventures with Darby!

Darby's dam was a regular sized English Bull Terrier named Cleo.

Well, I have a retriever and something is wrong with it. The damn dog won't stop retrieving things. So annoying! I think I'll give it away or maybe kill it.

Nice looking dog. Here's my 50/50 a few weeks ago @ 19 lbs

By creosoted the kennels what do you mean exactly?

Just use a monthly flea and tick treatment. The dog will still get ticks, but they will be dead. As far as in the kennel- use cedar shavings for bedding in warm weather and a perimeter spray if needed.
