you left the dog there all night?????? is that a normale thing to do? i know nothing about fox digging but that sounds a bit harsh

Bullsmilk its not the best thing to do but had no choice my hunting buddies where away i had no help the tree roots where as thick as my leg and the bank was full of large stones wasback at the hole next morning 8.00 with bars chain saw and help we had him out about 9.45 . Its not that unusual to leave a hole with the dog still in he may get out later that night himself and if you leave the terrier box beside the hole you would get him there in the morning . this dog was lost to ground for 4 days when he went to ground when i was out for a walk in july

Lost my terrier in an earth for 72 hours once, a horrible experience. The dog chased a fox to ground during exercise and I didn't know which earth she had gone down, no collar on either. Got her back a bit thinner, bitten and sore but not a nice experience.
