zap 4 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 had a bit of luck last couple weekends last week at a friends permission walked for miles up bloody hills found nothing went back to landy over to other side of valley and find 2 foxes first one nice dog fox which we dug with my mates black bitch at around 1.3 on b+f second one was a back breaking 60 cm lol which we had with my black bitch i showed my pup both and she looks to be enjoying her new found sport ,Today we were on another mates permission and again 2 foxes accountaed for first one was around 1.2 on the box and we had that with a mates black dog then we got a mark at a little 2 hole place so i thought time for the pup to find its fox so in she goes like a bullet and starts up straight away i,m thinking right lets have a seat and let her settle got box out and another one at 60 cm perfect for pups first proper go she was baying away lovely and i got shovel and started to dig and out my pup comes ??????? looks about and back in baying lovely so i start again and out she comes looks around and back in i broke a hole through and she was sitting in close to her fox not willing to back off i gave her a min then we shot fox and let her pull it out and have a bit rag do you think she just needs to get used with hearing digging above her ????? what would you lads /lasses advice be leave her untill next season now or give her another go before end that saying we find another fox in next 2 weeks lol Quote Link to post
harddigging 42 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 how old is the pup? aslong as she didnt take any punishment id give her another go this season if the oppertunity arises expecially in them shallow earths but if not itll be next season before you know it you never said how old the pup is Quote Link to post
zap 4 Posted March 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 she is just over a year ,she had a couple nips but it just winds her up more and she pushes right onto her fox i do honestly think she just needs to get used with hearing us digging but doubt always slips into your head Quote Link to post
