cooper101 86 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 ive allways ferreted daytime and just mooched about with my dog as ive not got any terreiers, so when i got an invite to come bushing with a terrier pack this morning i jumped at the chance!! this is the first time ive seen terriers work cover properly and flush to the lurchers and ive got the bug for it now!! Herdwicks little pack of JRT's are a credit to him and know exactly what there doing finding and moving everything they came across and quickley getting the day started flushing a lovely rabbit straight into the path of herdwicks daughters dog and blue, which after a bit of cofusion as to the catcher was retrived by Tylas terrier with a lurcher on either end lol , my dog took some getting used to what exactly was going on but he soon picked it up and that later followed another first for me and blue who was alerted to this when tylas terrier took off giving tounge hotly persued by herdwicks pack !! the terriers managed to flush a few more rabbits before the end of the day and the last catch came on the way out at herdwicks secret rabbit place !! this is a thankyou to herdwick for allowing me onto his ground to work with his dogs and also to tyla for introducing me!!

kill um with crisps 7 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Sounds like you had a good day mate! I love a few hours bushing. Its nice to have a ferret with you too so if you come across a tempting bury you can have the lurchers chase the bolters. Quote Link to post

Tyla 3,179 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 It was a very good day, Blue worked well for his first time out and i was pleased with Ollie too. I cant wait til the other two are sound again, we'll have a nice even little pack then! Quote Link to post
Missie 1 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Was great to meet you Cooper and good to see Tyla again. Thanks for letting us guys tag along, I was really pleased to see Griff working well today and they all worked well together. Blue is a lovely dog, Tony really liked him. Quote Link to post

Griff did well, much more focused than last time. We'll have to get him out more often, theres no substitute for experience! Quote Link to post
Missie 1 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 No I agree, I got a bit disheartened last time I think because he was so noisy and I didn't want to ruin your time out there by him being a donut but i'm really pleased with him today, he seems to have grown up a lot since the last time. I think maybe the ferreting isn't for him though, he likes to be moving I think. Quote Link to post

Blue is a lovely dog, Tony really liked him. thanks missie I really enjoyed today And meeting you all, didn't realise griff hadn't done much before he did a great job on the first run they had!! The only experianced bushings lurcher was unfortunatly not able to run with them!! For a pair of novice bushers the lurchers didn't do bad!! Be great to see them all in action when tylas dogs recover!! Everydog there pulled there weight and made the day a success!! Lovely people great dogs hope I get to come out with you all again soon!!!

herdwick 52 Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Good to meet you, and as I said before come anytime. The terriers arent really fit at the moment but they have their moments.Thought Blue did really well for his first time bushing and his first time protecting game birds!!! Come lamping when Tyla is fit and we'll see how my pup comes on when she's ready. Quote Link to post
