waz77 15 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Yes its last years young being turfed out to make way for this years young,they are venturing into new territory and crossing roads they prob have never crossed before.Shame to see them dead on the roads.Take care when exercising your terriers as they may be laid up in earths and drains that are never normally occupied, can catch you unawares with a few dogs off the lead Quote Link to post Share on other sites
