Zilverhaze 1,627 Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 how can you make a terrier run a place when it says no ? ,,,,, egging a terrier on to check earths your un certian are holding,,, that will confuse it and you end up with a terrier what messes around in empty earths,,,, i think you shuld always trust in the terrier untill it has been proven wrong if the dog wants to work it will find them a quick sniff at the entrances is enough for a terrier what no its job 9 Quote Link to post

Got to run the place to be certain Cheers, D. I don't get out with hounds often, whilst having my own dogs with me anyway. Any decent digging dog should mark without having to go and investigate what's below. Just my opinion Atb Quote Link to post
