very nice mate. My bitch of around about the same age went to ground first time this morning but noone home either -
Cheers chaps I recon i was over encouraging her....getting myself more excited than anything! at least i know she will go to ground so thats one step in the right direction There is apprently meant to be some colder weather coming in the start of next week so il leave the place quiet until then

Found this yesterday and thought it may be useful to others on here. You may already got your own permission letter drafted but its worth having a look at at least http://www.earthdogrunningdog.com/community/twp.htm Cheers

Good morning! well i went out and was there just as it was getting light. Didnt notice and fresh marks outside the entrence but collared the dog up and let her in. She went to ground a bit causiosly (this was her first time ever down a hole) and had a wonder about but seem more intrested in trying to dig down in the entrance to the hole! Anyway i kept encouraging her and she did go further down and gave a few barks and growls but that was it. Now i dont know what to make of this....was there someone home and was my bitch being useless or was it just excitment and a bit of caution?
-
cheers everyone! Matt11 thanks mate, im gunna go for just after light and see whats home
-
cheers Matt11 im bloody nervous!

i thought that but foxy had certainly been back since yesterday and the place was covered with pad marks

I would say so. When i found this hole yesterday she was down the hole as far as her lead would let her whilst i was just looking for pad marks

I aint gunna be able to get much sleep tonight! What do you think the chances of someone being home are in the morning?
-
Ok heres whats happened...... Yesterday i found a single hole earth on a small bank next to a shelter belt of conifers. Nice hole, not to deep looking and dug out with pad marks around. I smoothed the spoil down and threw a bit back in the hole. Returned this evening and guess what.....dug out.....pad marks going in....STINKS of fox. I didnt even need to poke my nose down to the hole! Ok....also today...B+F come in the post so spent all day playing with it.

good stuff. Just try to keep her at it and get her introduced to fox! out of intrest where abouts round the harbour was it? Not found any holes by me and i live right near lychett bay. To wet down my end!

cheers chaps Waz, i found that little trick out whilst having a play, the arrows do seem a bit misleading and id have to agree with Donnie, following the numbers does seem easier! But still, its early days yet
-
well i sold out and decided to buy the B+F set up. I had the money so thought id get the best i could afford. First impressions are good, the transmitter was a little bigger than i had expceted but it sits well on my bitch. Collar looks a good strong type aswell. Only had a quick mess about with the box searching for the transmitter on the living room floor but it seems easy enough to use. Will mess about with it on the dog later on though. I shall get some photos up later hopefully of it on my bitch. Thanks to those who gave me advice on other alternatives aswell

how old is she out of intrest mate?

cheers everyone whos replied and sent PM's Think i found a few holes the other day on some ground iv shot over for a few years. Worth looking at when its cold

I used to think my fell bitch was leggy but as she got older and stronger she seemed to bulk up and muscle up a bit more. How tall is she standing now
-
good work and well done gypsy! First of many i hope well done
-
cheers dog fox :thumbs-up: Leveller, it is the South Dorset and Portman Hunt which seem to use every square inch of ground down here
-
Bllody hell thats small! Good luck with it keeps us informed! Do you have any photos of the parents we can see?
-
cheers Spiff im gunna order my locator over the weekend hopefully, got to check my accounts tomorrow haha. Got plenty of books that iv read time and time again and none of them make it out to be easy!
-
Thank you for replying. Shame about your bitch getting robbed! b*****ds! I cant wait to hear the sound of my bitch to ground working!
-
Thats exactly why its a daunting prospect but one im more than willing to take on if needs be! The more i get into terrier work and hunting ect, the more the ban gets my goat but thats a different subject all together :censored:
-
Cheers mate. I got plenty of rats for her down the farm next to me but i swear to god this farm is the only farm in the whole of Dorset without any fox holes or foxes! Iv been travelling out and about asking but alot of the ground i ask about has the hunts over it
-
Thank you for the reply mate. Im 22 at the moment and im very determing to get my bitch going. I know she will do it, shes from proven working parents and i owe it to her to get her going! Just ruddy frustrating!!!!
