Lee if your only dropping one hole to him then don't sweat,there will come the time when he maybe required to stay longer-until then I wouldn't lose any sleep over it,he may even suprise you ;)personally I would keep the faith until he does let you down-or not ?only time and experience will tell.just be honest with yourself if if don't work out.atb dc

Feck me don't ya get jumped on,on here lol I'm not saying I only want my dog to stay for 2 hours just saying I wouldn't worry if it were the case coz it wouldn't mater to much coz most spot we go to wouldn't take that

I had a feeling you didn't mean it literally Lee and I totally agree with not putting a young dog in where you are uncertain .

Surely the length of the dig depends on the type of dog that is working the gear. You may have a dog that will stay for hours, and be lifted taking very little stick. But that type of dog that some say is only fit to breed from May come a croppa if the quarry is full on. It's horses for courses, it's the way your dog works, not the length of time under the sod that makes a difference

Man o Kent that's why a lot of people like to see a dog/bitch being bred from with a good few seasons under their belt, that way if their worked regular enough they should of come across all sorts of different scenarios and if they shine throughout happy days, but again (and people may get bored of hearing this) it's all about honesty, honesty about the dogs performance and the honesty of the man who owns the dogs to give a truthful interpretation to all who wish to know

nothing beats seeing for yourself how the dogs work. Usually get a few excuses when you ask ?

[man o kent 269]

That's fair enough, but if you have a dog that's a bit hard, why put it through a lengthy dig just to prove a point, and then have it in sick bay for weeks. Ending up only having been out a couple of times in a season. if it does exactly what you ask/expect it to do then don't worry about this fixation with long digs!

[Squirrel_Basher 17,102]

Lol or excuse why they can't come .

[timmy k 593]

I've never been one for looking for the deep digs, I'd much prefer a couple of 3 or 4 footers but every season your gonna hit a deep spot and when you do and you know for a fact it isn't a problem because the dogs been their before and proven itself, hard dog or not it should stay or don't breed. No ifs or buts

You just keep doing what your doing Lee your on the right track mate that's for sure ;-)
