If the dogs from good working stock then it should self enter , what work has the dog done ?

[mr t 1]

He has seen a fox and he went mad and he can trail a fox but has done don't below ground

Whats the breeding if you dont mind me asking

[mr t 1]

Russell x bull x red fell

If its in his blood then he should self enter , get yourself a locator and a tidy round nose shovel . Do some research on digging to terriers to learn the basics and learn the rest on the job , a word of warning though dont enter a novice dog in rock piles and other undiggable places cause it can turn bad very quick

Ya it's mostly ditches and bank where I live. Would it be a help if I gave him a fox to rag

It would help if you could go out with someone who has done this sort of work before, incase something happen's that you did'nt expect, good luck.

Try and get out on a dig with someone that knows what they are doing and that has an expierenced dog and you and the dog will pick it up
