LOOSING QUARRY

[Peter4190 55]

This is really startin to do my head in, when I have given my dog chance to settle in then start digging, when I get to my dog there is no quarry in sight and sometimes I can't dig on to see where it's gone, even though it stinks of fox, dunno weather it's dug on and dog can't get to it or he is bayin on scent or not, I have only had a few with him so maybe inexperienced I don't know, but it's gettin very annoyin

 

Any suggestions apart from a new terrier ???

maybe your blocking the quarry off when breaking in

Take someone with you that knows a bit more than you, he might be able to shed some light on whats going on.

Is it mid tube or stop ends you are finding the dog?

try an experienced dog when you break through

is there any signs he was at the quarry?sounds to me that its sitting well back or could be false marking!

[Waz 4,210]

The dog maybe baying at scent, & by digging to the dog you are rewarding it.

After finding nothing when you break through have you let the dog have another look?

have you dug too the dog before this??? surely you would know if he is at 1 or not....ie.. sounds banging difference in bark slight movement as you dig????..and if you have dug to the dog more than once and this is happened...only way to put your mind at rest dig 1 ,,,put it to ground go to the van get your terrier and try...that way you know exactly what is going on..and if he walks after ten he doent like...if you dig him and quarry not there right with him you know he laying off his quarry...really up to you what you do with him then...hope this helps atb ..stopend

Good move mate, I think all the numpties that post shit on here and only ever reply on topics with stupid remarks should be removed full stop. This would probably mean about 90% of posters though lol.

does he just bay or is he mixing it up abit?

Thanks for advice lads, usually dig to him mid tube, but it does look like the quarry has been scrattin on but seems to be goin on a long way if there at all but the last few have stank of Charlie, but I am inexperienced myself so not sure [bANNED TEXT] the f**k is goin on, and only 1 terrier between me an a mate it's a proper novice situation

try and get out with other lads near you and learn a bit more as they will help you learn a bit more about your dog

Sounds like he's sitting back to far away from his quarry, if the earth is shallow enough to sit + listen to whats goin on underground, do that! Listen to whats goin on underground, listen for different pitches in his bark or if theres a bit scuufle goin on.. If u dont hear scuffling leave a good while, when u do dig and u break through and still see no quarry, pull ur dog out and let an experience dog run it, he may give u the answers..

LOL...u sure outside the hole not stinking of fox and u trying him to rabbits???... if your inexperienced it can easily happen ...not having a dig by the way
