terriermaniac 12 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Hi folks I've just noticed lately that , good quality traditional sounders are gone scarce , well around my area they are! I know there a must have in the uk , with all the regulations :-), but I find it's easy enough to pick up the harder bred dogs but the sounder seems to be gone scarce, I'd like to here other Irish members views about this !

terriermaniac 12 Posted June 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Glad to here it Lowry, I bred mine down to small size as well but still with enough balls to mix it when needed, and I can go a couple days in a row every week without been down terriers! But out of all my digging friends I'm the odd one out , they keep the big hard dogs , but sometimes they can't reach there quarry and half the time when they do there out of action for a couple a weeks to recover :-) Quote Link to post

From what i and my diging partner seen of the diging in finea last year by the ballymacad's,it was not very impressive,mind you if the young chap was left alone to get on with it id say he would do the job no bother.
