A Small Day

.

Sunday was a small day in the field with Beth K, with one groundhog bolted up a tree and another groundhog dug to under the roots of a black cherry tree. This last groundhog was very well positioned, but after a little sawing and a little digging we got to him.

The dogs located in a field sette at the beginning of the day, but due to a defective collar we could not locate the groundhog until the dog came up and we switched out the collar. By the time the dog got back into the pipe the groundhog had dug away and we could not relocate it in the soft dirt.

In the pic above, Beth demonstrates the most important attribute of a working terrier: an owner that will take the dog out into the field for a little work.
