1 HOLE ONLY.

[Guest E.Mc]

I've read a lot on here about GOOD dogs and dogs that

are 100% at their job. How many of you have dogs that

you only have to dig 1 hole to free them?

most of the time it is one hole to get dog and fox out.then the odd time i mite break through and the dog mite have phushed on a bit then i mite have to dig a second hole or ternch on . some lads dont give the dog a chance to settle and start to dig to early then they have holes all over the place and plus they probaly as you asked have shit dogs that cant hold the game .i myself give them pilty of time before i dig if i know the earth could be tiet.but their is always the chance of a second hole mite not be the dogs fault.

like top terier man says it should only be 1 hole but it can take another hole or a quick bit of trenching on which you cant blame a good dog for but most of my old mans dogs are all 1 hole but then thats why he has so many terriers as the sick bay can fill up pretty quick

there is a BIG difference if the quarry is educated or not.

its always a good idea imo ,after youve found your dog on the knocker box ,make some noise where youve marked the dog ,make the quarry aware your nr,give it 5 if there still there set off digging

usually works for me

good digging .

I've dug to dogs plenty of times with just the one hole, but also had to sink two holes a few times to get the game, sometimes it's the dog to blame for letting the game past at the crucial moment but IMO if the game has been dug before or it has seen off a few dogs then if it wants to be past it will...as long as the dog sticks to its guns then thats all you can ask JMHO...

every earth and every situation is different, i have manys a time dug to a hard dog holding its game mid tube so when we broke the dog off the stuff pushes on up the tube, hence weve had to drop the dog and dig again in a different spot. as someone else already stated educated game that doesnt want to be dug will sometimes take a 2nd or 3rd hole before the job is done, especially if there is 2 or 3 in the pot all pushing at the dog and wanting out. as long as the dogs stays and keeps the pressure on is all that counts IMO

Funny enough our last dig was wierd,dog marked so off he went we waited 1half hours was just running the dog round and round weve only ever hit a stop end on this hole once and usually they bolt,because the earths massive! Not today,the earths nice and big inside and its perfect for the terrier because hes some size too but fox gets round alot quicker 2 and half hours later dogs caught up with him got the mark of 4ft now this wasnt a stop end so gave a few bangs so the dog can hear us comming and he took a good grip and held the quarry in the tube untill we got there!

 

Usually one dig if its stop ended but held up in the tube may need another hole or a quick trench!

it depends whats to ground and also how much experiance your dog has and depends on the ground your diggin on and if your terrier is hard or if its sensible and the depth of the set aswell so thares alot of things you have to think of before you say you have a good terrier

if you know what your doing you should onle need to dig 1 hole....

 

if you dig too early and lets say it;s a 4 foot dig and your only up the dogs arse, well your going to have to move down a few foot to beable to get to the fox :I

Sorry i dont agree all terriers are different workers and all earths are different!

Also if your talking about a stop end here dig down,pull terrier out and block off the enterence to the rest of the earth and mr fox will bolt,or be shot,or be drawn by another dog!
