best for bushing and ferreting

[fraggle 4]

Hey all what would you class as a good terrier for bushing and ferreting not for foxes.

Just thinking of a terrier to accompany me and the whippet for ferreting and general mooching.

 

Was thinking either plummer of bedlington but trying to find a working bedlington is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

 

I know all terriers can go to ground but have you got a terrier that you only use for ferreting.

 

Thanks all.

im ju back from ferreting with my jack russel and springer and the jack russel is good at holding them in the nets and marking up but the spaniel is grate bushing

Beddie or plummers are meant to be good bushing terriers, but if you want something that wont go to ground look into a spaniel or small hound type.

only experiance iv really had mate is with my 3/4 cocker 1/4 russel

proper little bushing dog mate,if its in there she will find it,my mate has the litter sister(only two in the litter)

i only saw his for the first time over the xmas period,now two years old,took them out for a bit of bushing and they both worked equally well

 

very smart dogs mate and you will not tire them out,just something for you to think about rather than a straight terrier
