    Years ago, oooooft showing my age here, easy 20 lol, used to go out coursing with a guy who's dog would eat the f*****g hare!!! Soon as it was slipped, you had to run like f**k in the direction it was heading cos as soon as it was caught, it was eat lol.lol...i knew a guy who had a pure bred greyhound bitch that was quite adept at tearing apart anything it caught !!!!! Thing was nuts lolLol this f****r just devoured it. More than once it was slipped on a hare with a belly full of hare lol. Handy if you were poaching and got a pull, just chuck the hare to the dog in the back of the van joke lo

    totally agree....I've always taken a pup out with older dogs who know the game....I also read the thread in the terrier forum about your pups.....if I were you I would just stick to raising the patterdales first mate .....brothers from the same litter are gonna be a handful to say the least...get the terriers to a level were you fully know there tempraments working abilities etc then maybe think of purchasing a whippet/small type lurcher etc...just what I would do......good luck in your choice....

    Yeah this dog was pretty smart brain wise...but its the only time it ever made a noise lol....

    Prob because it knows its there mate but cant see it and its just infront of him going through cover and excitemment becomes too muchif he was in heavy cover an heard him it was a case of "get ready for it"lol...once it had forced the deer out into the open it would run silent...strange little quirk...literally lost count of the amount of deer this dog dropped....funny thing is it was bought for running rabbitts but once it wed to deer it just couldnt get enough an opened up a whole new world of sport for the owner who had never considered running deer..lol...a good dog though despite the odd

    Years ago i knew a dog that would run silent on rabbitt an fox always.....when it was put to deer in the open it ran silent...but when it hit cover with the deer it would let out the occasional bark !! Only in heavy cover with deer it done this...nothing else....but it was a great dog for gettin deer out of cover to....to answer original question on the thread...an occasional bark or yip wouldnt bother me as long as it didnt sing like a budgie eveytime it ran...

    The collie bit in my own dogs breeding came from a working welsh hill collie.....but I suppose your dumbest collie is problably smarter than the average pet dog....I get what you mean about worker to worker though......good point....

    Mine has collie on dams side of the breeding....workin welsh hill collie....but you can see it in him when he starts stalking something like a collie lol...also found him to be quite amenable to training when he was a pup.....unlike a saluki blooded dog I had years ago who would all of a sudden have a deafness attack !!!!!! Lol...my friend had a 3/4 bred years ago an it took anything he aimed it at.......but it could be quite possessive whith a catch concerning other dogs....good luck with whatever you choose.....
