I don't know exactly how deep this was ( befor B&F )it went of the box and MORE THAN 28 FEET!

Everything by hand and took us ( 3 people!) 2 days

The deeper we got , the harder it became!

 

It was a dig I will never forget!!

imagine putting a terrier in there surely you must have had an idea of that , good work anyway

 

yis chancer

 

At the end of the day, what looks shallow could go very deep, even the earth which are dug for years can hold a deeper spot unknown of.

Anyone that isnt prepared to dig a good depth really should find another pursuit for follow :thumbs:

give me a high 5 pal :thumbs:

This is nothing compared to some digs on here, but it was memorable!

 

One of the lurchers ran a fox to ground late in the day, it was snowy and extremely cold, 6ish foot of solid chalk later and we got the terrier and her fox. most of the dig was in the dark, taking it in turns to keep warm! I have had a dig in chalk on a steep bank that was pushing 8 foot, that was tough, but the backfill was tougher! no photo's of that one im afraid!

 

Oh how i wish it was winter!

Its when your diging to quarry that has been dug before and dont want to be dug again thats when the dog is tested.Dog has'nt got a tape measure down with him he dont know what dept it is.

Agree with ye there fella but when something has been dug before and its at 3ft or 4ft the dogs obviously tested less than something at 8ft or 10ft ,the depth aint the factor its the time the dogs to its quarry i think the lads are trying to say :thumbs:

Dog should still hold its quarry until dug to,dont matter what dept or how long it takes,let it be 5ft or 5 hours they should still be there at the end.

 

i wiil take 2 of them lol

Eight feet, dug solo, at night, in a serious snow storm, on federal land, and not a hole dug by choice. The ground was rooty but not rocky, and the dog was fine even if my bits and pieces were pretty well frozen. It's not easy to see under such conditions -- there is the dark of course, and the light bounces off the snow flakes and is obscured by the fog of your breath.

My deepest last season was 3.6 meters on the b&f to a big fellow. First metere or so was easy enough then hit hard shale then a sort of iron stone. The bitch did well. I have pics but dont know how to get them on.

Had a bad run last season of deep and difficult digs. Had my little bitch in on a place that was relitivly small only 3 holes. Got a mark at 1.8, took off the top then hit solid slate. The slate shelf was about 8-9 inches thick and was a real b**stad to get through, got the bitch out after a few hours with a big un in the stop end.
