YOKEL 2,122 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 altho some are running to ground at an early age, 12mths is still young so i would'nt be to worried about it. as others have said, you can't beat a ready working terrier to show a young un the ropes. i'd advise against being over the top in encouraging him to ground willy nilly, as this can get them false marking just to please you, and digging a great hole for f**k all will give the the severe hump. slowly slowly catchy monkey, if it's in the dog it'll come out sooner or later...
