Ace Boone coon 648 Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 Never worked a rock pile like that before and was wondering if the dog is way down and inside the pile how do you get to it if the rock is to big to be removed by man or situated in a tight weird position that could cause all to cave in by moving it and I'm gonna assume you really need to understand the Rock's, meaning how to move them so they don't cause more of a problem when being moved. And what kind a dog would you use for Rock's? I would think a real strong Bayer maybe I would think a banger could get himself in a lot of trouble 2 Quote Link to post

rob284 1,678 Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 I have done but I wouldn’t do it anymore either, but there’s some sport you walk past if you don’t. Few rock spots at home and the lads who braved them would be getting many more foxes than the lads checking earths. Respect to the lads who do it! 1 Quote Link to post
Rat face 1,655 Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 An old fella near me says if you like getting foxes work rocks if you like your dog’s don’t lol. my old man worked rock all his life and only ever lost one dog, I’ve dug two dead this month in earths! Just goes to show you can loose a dog anytime you put it to ground. 6 Quote Link to post

justdigit 180 Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Lots of different types of rock places. Some can be only 10ft deep and next to impossible to help the dog if anything goes wrong 4 Quote Link to post
