satan and todd 125 Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 had a discussion the other day with my pal he reconed some dogs are too scared to go deep into some earths even tho they know quarry is down in the depths but i said how does the dog know how deep it is? he just said some dogs are shite and wont go deep into earths think he was referring to mine but didnt want to upset me and say mine just generalised really lol, mine cant find a fox in a dustbin never mind been scared of going in the depths for quarry.....what are others thoughts do terriers know the depths of settes and wont go deep? or could it be lack of nose like mine i think well thats my excuse anyway hes a fine looking specimen and i love him so he stays till he does find try keep silly comments to yourselfs its a genuine question im intrigued on what others think of this, cheers in advance Quote Link to post

marshman 7,756 Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 A dog doesn't know how deep it's gone ! but I've seen dogs have trouble of multi level earths . Of course a dog should find no matter what but some search more than others and will slip down deeper than others. Funny because I've even had ferrets that will work deep while others tend to work more shallow . 5 Quote Link to post

colliexgreyhound 119 Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) If its his first season i would keep him away from deeper burrows especially if he is a hard dog. He could get badly bitten which could put him off completley Edited January 1, 2013 by colliexgreyhound 1 Quote Link to post
pinguu 169 Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 I had a mate who had a pup go to ground whilst on a walk the earth was well deep we had to get help recovering him by way of a jcb, he was stuck way way down further than you could hand dig on an old quarry site, daft dog was down there hours it was only a pup never worked but followed his dad buster but as my buster came out he carried on lol.
