REAL DEAL 0 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) about ten years ago we was walking some dikes out with the terrier an it flew to ground 14 foot an baying strong .we only had one shovel so we raced home to get a bit off man power then went back .it was still in the same place so we started digging an dig we did. we finally broke threw to find no dog but it was still locating so we had a dig about a bit only to find the locater off the collar(deben).it had been chewed off the collar .we was gutted to say the least.no sight or sound off the dog so we went home sick.a week later my mate seen his dog in the local paper in the found section .the old ladie said she thought it had been fighting with another dog .just another tale from my many days out with tony foston R.I.P MATE always thinking about you Edited January 29, 2009 by REAL DEAL Quote Link to post

Birdboy 2 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Just thought i'd post these pics, first one is of a 9ft we had to finish off last season. The second one is of a 10ft we had through sand stone took 5 hours to dig with a few collapses along the way. Very dangerous when we hit a layer of sand then hard as feck when you hit the rock!

Guest E.Mc Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Deepest we had this season was 7ft, not easy digging ground was like concrete took us 4 1/2 hrs to dig dog was to round for 7 hrs. Quote Link to post
victor 10 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) f**k! thay are some massive digs guys, the deepest we have is about 2 and a half foot, were luckey. but once it was just me and ben ( friend with terrier) we dug down soodeep we didnt evan reach the dog or the tubes, we gave up. called the dog out, and sat a net on the hole, we knew we were ontop of the fox so he stood above the net and i jumped up and down oin the hole we both dug. it came out but wouldnt classify it as a dig cus we didnt reach out game..
