In the 90s Irish terrier was a very popular cross. I'd imagine that a decent whippet or greyhound X Irish terrier could still produce a good lurcher. How many border collies used for breeding are actually working dogs?? So if the Irish was well made and had a bit of drive I think it could still add something to a lurcher mix.

No that you say it, when I get a bigger than normal rat they're usually in a hole on their own. I never thought much of it til now.

Out today, 3 rats from 2 marks and flushed long ears, rabbits and lots of birds. Dogs winded something in a small bunch of gorse and briars, terrier hunted the line back about 30mts and marked a hole and started digging. Gave him a hand with spade had this lad out soon enough. Pics don't really do it justice, pig of a rat.

Enjoying the sun after a morning down the estuary swimming and scenting along the rocks. Couple of marks but rats are safe under all the boulders.

They’ll make great dogs. My springer x lurcher was the most skilful natural hunting dog I’ve owned, great natured, easily trained and very intelligent.
Any pics?

Rabbit pieces marinated in me own home made cider, rolled in seasoned flour and fired in butter with sweet chilli dip. The rabbit and apples for cider come from same farm.

Started back mooching properly this week. Went to one of my permissions two evenings ,I let the young lad do all the shooting, only 13. He bagged 3 rabbits over two trips with the gun, his first ever kills.Dogs went very well, all the fitness work during the summer paying off as the were able to hunt hard no bother. Flushing terrier going well in cover, flushed birds rabbits and fox.
