Rock Dogs

[Apache... 2,585]

Ziggy, I'm not knocking what you do your a braver man than me to put a dog in them places but tell me do you purposely seek out these places to work your terriers or is it a lack of natural earths in you area, would you not rather have a dig to your dog and have more of a chance getting a result.

Hope ziggy dosnt mind me saying but the lad has got more digging to go at than the average person. 

I'm with you apache....  If had the choice I'd be going down the motorway for a digging. But I guess you like what you like don't you.

I think if you was wanting results/numbers you get twice as many from the rocks than soil earths around our area

Fox love the rock piles an hold most of the time loads of earth about me but don't use em much as the rock

Great thread - i think we'd all be surprised how often a fox is to ground in rocks and we struggle to mark him?

For me watch a fox bolt and skip across the rocks on to the hill is something special the only other place that gives me a simular buzz is hay stacks and bails

Surprising that tank!! You would think a dry, draught free earth would be more suitable than a cold airy pile of rock, maybe they know something we dont "cunning as a fox" no truer saying.

I’d compare rock piles to thick cover for holding foxes, just my opinion though.

Very cold day or the sun out you will find the fox in the rock piles

This is a bad spot were a few dogs were tried over the years. Unfortunatly the few dogs that were entered never came out.

Christ why would you put a dog in there
