Digging

[Cajunrules 8]

Got chatting to a fellow on a driven shoot today (yesterday, did'nt realise the time!); anyway we got to chatting about terrierwork and I told him I had a young terrier about ready to start but was struggling for permission, and he told me to speak to the shoot captain afterwards as they were looking for someone to do terrierwork earlier on in the year. Well I spoke to him afterwards and I've got me first digging permission. Absolutely chuffed to bits and can't wait to have a crack at it, will be starting on my own and without anyone to show me the ropes but not going to learn any other way. Cheers

not being smart but if you know feck all about digging you better find someone that will take you out and show you the ropes, you won't keep that permission long ,from what it sounds like you not got a clue!!! i could be wrong , now fair play to you for for putting the effort to get permission and bring on a young terrier ,but it not about just putting a dog to ground there alot to learn, try and get out with someone that will show you,

best of luck

Good on you for getting the permission,is the dog a good worker or is it the dog;s first time?Also do you know how deep the earths run,if not it's best to have someone help you to dig, as you never know those easy looking earths can be the worst,good luck with your permission,

you´re going to learn the hard way, but thats better than not learning at all.

you´ll find out that you´ll need another terrier pretty soon and you´ll have a lot of surprises coming your way.

we´ve had several digs this season that has gone as good as they can, but at the start of each new one we realise that know f#ck all, and i think we´ll have that feeling for as long as we keep going.

best of luck!

My bitch is nearly 14 months, never worked fox yet only rats, so we both green to it. As regards earths the fella who put me on to the shoot captain used to do the terrierwork there and he's gonna show me around whats where; but he is getting on a bit so no chance of him actually helping me dig, but at least he's someone who knows the land and can tell me a bit about it. Cheers

Go on the National Working Terrier Federation website and find out your nearest terrier club join that and learn from experienced terriermen they will also help if you get a terrier stuck remember the only reason we can still legally work terriers is because of the fight put up by the Federation.Good luck.
