Mole Dogs.

[Moll. 1,769]

I know you lot will probably think I'm mad, but has anyone else ever had a dog who will locate where a mole is active underground?

One of my dogs is mad keen on moles, he can show me where tunnels are in places i would never have found, and i have yet to miss a mole in places he marks!

I dont even need to check my traps, he goes around them all and lets me know which ones have caught...i kid you not

I had a cocker that used to mark moles, but sadly she cashed in her chips on the 171 whitby road gutted

my pal had a sheep dog that would hunt for them in verges and stubble it used to pounce like a fox in the snow and dig like a bugger, dam thing could catch as many as me in a good day lol

I had a golden lab that would follow moles underground, and when they stopped she would dig a hole in the run and use her bottom jaw to rip up the run until she got to the mole, funny to watch, but you couldn't let her near a bowling green

It's the weeing up the marker pegs i find annoying

I had a Lakie that would find and kill 'em Moll. I remember it got it's first as it was coming out of it's hill and forever after the dog would mark and dig for 'em.

one of my labs come out moling on farms with me for company, to stop her being in my face while setting traps I sat her down while I set on each mole. After a couple of times she runs the field finds fresh molehills and sits down waiting for me to go over!
Come in very handy in long grass where spotting hills is tricky

I only started taking him initially to fields with no access via vehicle. Some of them were 3 fields away over steep hills. Put panier bags on him so he could carry more traps for me, meaning less trips back and forth to the car. He loves it, unfortunately one of the reasons he wants to find moles....he wants to eat them, and when the farmer wants to see how many moles you have caught it can end up as an expensive dog chew

My little teckel,will hunt around and stand over a trap if its caught,the whippet will too but not as acurate as the teckel,

she will go mad if she senses one under ground,but she's dosent seem quick enough to catch them,
