Zilverhaze 1,627 Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 all this has come from you saying Can a dog tell if an earth is occupied from smelling at a hole? Can it feck witch is not true it obviously can because thats its job..all these diffrent scenarios your now offering still dont change that fact a terrier dose not need to travle a earth to tell if its ocupied no matter how big or how small they just no and if any one has one what needs to travle evry earth to tell if its occupied its not worth a wank 5 Quote Link to post

dytkos 17,604 Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 My point was that you can never say there is nothing at home without giving the dog a chance to enter. The dog may be right but conversely, it may not. 3 or 4 holers or so yes, but a fox might be a long way from any hole and as I said earlier a vixen at this time of year can give of little or no scent for any dog to detect. Go Figure. Cheers, D. Quote Link to post

matt1979 766 Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 I don't know about earth work as I don't do any, but if a fox has been about near any of my dogs on walks and when out bushing etc it is blatantly obvious, so I would have thought a dog breed for the job can be trusted. When you say a vixen gives off very little or no scent this time or year, I am can honestly say they give off plenty enough to follow a line any time of year in my experience atb 1 Quote Link to post
foxbolter 447 Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 How does a good hound mark a hole without being entered some terriers will mark true like a hound on the lead on a entrance of hole 2 Quote Link to post
fireman 10,795 Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 A call out i had the other weekend,first place a bout 8-10 holes spread out over 30 yrds or so,dog showed no interest what so ever in any but two of the holes at one end and entered in one showed at the other rentered and bolted a vixen which was shot,next place small little 4 holer 75 yrds from the big place,dog didn't want to know at the first 3 holes then i felt the wind on my face and i thought about the natural ventalation of a earth so i tried him at the last hole down wind and he flew in faster than he ever has and the dog fox was soon delt with .Some holes hold scent some don't and you just got to learn to trust the dog in saying yes or no and that takes time in team work but i have known some terriers that did cartwheels on the lead when getting close to an occupied earth and they never lied when doing so and we often wondered how the hell they knew when still 20 yrds away from it??? .. 2 Quote Link to post
