go back a few days later if he shows no interest then,it could be that there was a strong smell of fox

and he was checking.It happened to mine,although mine had shown no interest in other earths,so i went back

two days later this time he didn't enter the earth and when i looked round the entrance there was a dead fox

so it may have been down,

is the pic from today? if there is no one home the liklyhood of a cut nose is slim

if you are entering the dog then its best to have a dog with "know how" to run controll,if not you won't know if the dog is doing his job or not.

good fun though isn't it bud? its great to see a young dog coming on.

 

a good looking dog by the way.how is he bred?
