Poxy Place !

[THE GENERAL 1,977]

Nice 1 I used to dig a place like that for years always held and a good test for a dog, worst I ever had to dig out or around was paving slabs, kerb stones and a builders blue tub half full of mortar.

Theres a bank on some ground i do that holds a 5 holer that is pretty sprawling and now 20 ft deep but was once just a puppy spot .In the years ive known the place its had rsj's ,asbestos and block rubble on it as well as a decent capping of general farmyard waste topped off by at least 6 foot of blue clay .About 5 years back i took a lad out with his mate to this ground and unknown to me he went back with the mate to "dig" this spot .From what i gather the dog was picked up days later roaming when they realised the depth and left it ,scroats .

Cleaned me dog up then myself and then had a couple of these lol not a bad start to the new year !

NOW, you're talking my language ,LOL.

Had a dig on Friday and was wondering what was stopping my shovel, plastic was, a load of it dumped on an earth about two foot under the soil.

Many years back two friends of mine, both dead now, were following a pack of Staghounds and to get a better view ran over to a pile of scrap and jumped onto it.

They bolted a brace of foxes.

Marshman in regards to your dog being harder. Ive always found that dogs are a lot braver when in un-natural or man made surroundings for the fox such as bales, drains, rock piles etc as the dog feels more confident as opposed to being underground where the wild animal is at home. Ive seen a few terriers that look like world beaters in drains etc but are poor in earths.

Thanks for the comments lads ?

Just checked my dog over this morning and he looks like the furs been shaved in a couple places, must be where he's pushed past something sharp in the dump .

Iv'e hit all sorts of weird stuff on the way down, old cars, bed frames, the old mattresses are a b*****d if you don't have cutters, but the one i really didn't like was an old ash tip, looked easy enough, but a 3ft we hit asbestos sheets, and had to smash through 3 foot or so of them, the keeper could have mentioned that first but he wanted shut. Don't get me wrong it was soaking wet, so no dust, but i weren't happy about it

[neiluk 24]

Well done man & dog.

good lad

Well done, all part of learning and then sorting these problems when we encounter them. I think we take for granted our soil earths sometime. Good post.
