sighthound123 31 Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Is it possible to have a decent ferreting terrier and one that you can also dig with? or does this cause more trouble than it's worth? Quote Link to post

BOF 9 Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 iv had dogs that will do both but they have never been the best digging dogs, get you a fox all right, but had to be relistic and not get wound up if the dog failed, depends how serious you are on digging. Quote Link to post
sighthound123 31 Posted August 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 i've got a lurcher that can do the ferreting side of things well enough, so i think i might just keep this dog for digging. He's out of good stuff so want to use him to his full potential! Quote Link to post
