stiggy 6 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 hi read lots of posts on here about digging and just wondered what sort of depth we talking about?? are holes normally shallow or is it a mix of everything? do rabbits / fox dig down depending on the soil or is in the steepness of the bank they burrow into that means a deep dig? dont dig myself but just wondered as digging any hole is bllody hard work!!!

jpnixon 7 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 differant sets diferant depths you cant really tell until you run it or dig it i've done sets that i'd swear where deep and got them shallow and same in reverse and dug sets that run deep but got shallow, the thing that matters is that when a dog is workingit you dig it doesnt matter how deep or hard the set is.
