    ??? Thought bull dogs were not s'posed to be bayers lol My pointer bayed up black bears in BC and drove a sow and cubs off the work site, it dosent take much balls to bay at a bear, most dogs will do it DnN

    Thanks for the reply mate, its always nice to compare the traits of these crosses, as there are now so many types and strains being used, each with their own credits. All the best DnN

    Fair play mate, do you hunt mostly groundhogs or other stuff too?

    Theres a man who can put together a good bushing hound nice sturdy little dogs them. Whats the natural hunting range of these? And I guess they are very free with the tongue, and able to track fairly old scent? Cheers DnN

    Ive lived and worked on the west coast of Argyll and the islands for a few years now, love it up here, the midge's keep the tourists at bay for the summer, the rain does it for the rest of the year! Have a nice trip Byron. DnN

    Ach see I always post before reading the whole fecking thread haha I see you now have 2 wirehaired's, I bet you having some cracking days in the field by now mate, theres never a dull time out with a pointer, they just keep at it. Any pics of your dogs Dee? DnN

    Got to agree and disagree with you wolfie... yes harder to source stock, but its there if the person is willing to go the extra yard, due to todays tricky circumstances no doubts DnN

    Dee, I went the same way, always had spaniels mate when I was a gamekeeper but I left keepering, now im usually out covering land walked up style, and for me the pointers or setters are the better dogs for that style of hunting. If its just birds and general hunting ,pointing, retiieving, any of the pointer or setter breeds will be excellent, I went for the wirehaired, from good stock, and she has been a grand bird-dog, but I also go foxing, digging, boar hunting, whatever and she is never left in the kennel, great temperament on mine, sound with other dogs, work all day and then some. For me

    They can get from any wild birds its bacterial so treatment isnt a proper cure but antibiotics are whats used. The snicking that your describing now may develop over the next two three weeks to swollen eyes lack of feed conversion leading to wasting. I was a keeper for years its very common in gamebirds as well as poultry.

    Surely part of being into working dogs is the skill of breeding a good line, and entering the pups, well I guess times change, but I dont think many will go down the route of cloning, no matter how good the individual dog.

    If someone gives me one I will try it!

    I like most of the bull/gundog crosses, cant see why they are not more popular, as in other countries they were often the basis for many now-established lines of hunting dog.

    General purpose gun-dog/hunting/tracking/marking,, Definitely not a peg dog... to me they are the perfect 'beaters pointer'. And when not beating should help with any vermin issues etc.

    Hiya Hily mate, As you know I used to work spaniels, now Im the forst to admit, that my training plan, isnt much of a plan, and my standard in comparison to a field trial dog would be laughable. but I worked my spaniels to rat and fox, as much as partridge and rabbit and everything in between, so I always just kept my head down and did things my own way. I dont think you have much to learn about training spaniels, as the ones I seen were very good dogs under the gun. A few fleeting thoughts on lurchers and terriers... Ive had a few lurchers, and a bunch of terriers... but I find

    Ach dont worry about it, its THL after all .... thanks for the good comments anyway. Also, I have hopefully secured a pup from a planned future mating, so fingers crossed for the future. looking forward to summer now, sweating my balls off, getting eaten to death by midges lol

    A good friend and terrierman put his russell dog Brock up on here, and out of 75 folk, he lined only about 2 bitches, the rest were turned away... Nowadays its mates only, who has the time to trawl through the shite to help out one or two genuine terrier folk?
