The bulldogs are fair quality but can snap on the joint between the blade/shaft,the best thing to do is cut it purposly on the joint and weld a solid steel bar inside it,it makes it heavier to carry but the weight makes them a much better tool to dig with.

I broke one and my uncle welded it back up like this,i used it for the best part of 20 years.In the end the blade was so thin it split,probably a good bet to cut the blade down a bit as well.

don't bother with a bellman and flint shovel they snap off where the shaft joins the blade , i use a cornish shovel or some times better known as a grave diggers shovel , long handle ...no back breaking lol

:thumbs: second that used em for years a bit conspicuous when mooching though :D

If youve got a "Wickes" store near you they do similar ones to the silver line jobs,think i paid 14 quid for mine,narrow bladed digging shovel,they do the rounded one but its to big,blade needs cutting down a bit imo,personally for terrier work i would round off the small one ive got,unfortunatly i only dig footings with it these days,but its a good strong tool for the money,bit heavier than a bulldog no need to put a steel shaft in it.
