allrounders

[NATACC 18]

i know this is a regular but to me an allrounder must take hare fox deer[pre ban] i dont mean all the time but if one gets up the dog is capable of taking day or night take rabbits [obviously] day or night be able to ferret[ mark up hold in net catch bolters] also mark up and catch pheasant partridge if you get my drift whatever gets up the dog will take. look lads ive tried a few dogs supposedly all rounders that havent been all that so if any of you lads have had the oppotunity to own a great dogs please pictures and how the dog is bred would be much appreciated cheers

I have had lurchers all my life that some i MYSELF would class as allrounders of edible quarry as the fox was never on the list of prioritys with most of the lads and dogs i have hunted with could never see the point in wasteing the dogs energy on something i could neither sell nor eat and seen as most of my hunting was poaching it would be a case of killing something just for the sake of it.

All the outstanding allrounders i have seen have all been lurcher to lurcher bred dogs from saluki/grey/grey/collies to beddy/grey to saluki/grey collies.I kept a mixture of grey/beddy grey/collie for twenty years but they would not touch the odd fox but [bANNED TEXT] i put saluki/grey into the breeding a bitch i had nailed the odd one.A good alround dog i can recall was an old match dog owned at first by a travellar a mix of collie/grey/saluki/grey that was mental on foxes and could put any other quarry in the bag .The first time i saw this dog run was on moorland land the dog had never run on in its life and he was 6 year old but after missing his first white hare down a gulley went on to catch the next five.Such is the adaptability in good lurcher to lurcher bred dogs that imho gives them the edge in the title of allround lurchers more than the two breed lurchers

i have a 3/4 saluki 1/4 greyhound bitch how i would class as an outstanding allrounder every quarry during the day and night consistantly . Pheashant and partridge pegged through they day retreived on shot days will not touch a fox but never really have the chance around my way so not really a problem to me

as they say the (colliexgrey x salukixgrey)are very good alround lurcher for most quarry. I have seen this x work, and they are very good.Some of this x will take fox, but as been said the lads who run this x didnt really bother with foxes, it was most times for the pot. If foxes were to be taken more regular as well, then maybe had a bit of bull blood, as they have best prey drive for that quarry.

I will give you my simple answer.what I put into the dog when training.too many people think that this X or that X is a magic soloution and an easy option in place of training patience and work.thats not to say that this X or that X is better suited to spercific tasks(you wouldnt take a 1st X bull coursing).lurcher 2 lurcher usally make the best alrounders.

there is no dog that can do everything or else everyone would have one thats my oppinion i think you got to try and get the dog that best suits your needs,i have a bitch i would class as a alrounder for what i do marks,works with ferret,lamps or daytime rabbit hare deer and fox all preban she does know when there is a pheasant but aint caught one yet but to be honest my main hunting is lamping

[stroller 341]

Im convinced that with a good breeding program set up by someone who is good at this stuff that a working strain of greyhound can be produced and a good grey will kill anything

Could the definition of an allrounder mean ,Jack of all trades and master of none? Edited April 5, 2010 by hollands hope
