There is no such thing as 'best' in terms of application of a breed to a task. It's down to personal preference and the many many factors which affect the running - i.e landscape etc. Also it is ALWAYS down to the individual dogs which a person has seen.

A good dog can run anywere, you would know this if you have ever had a good dog.

The best allrounder I ever had was a Saluki cross, Lamped, ferreted, bushed with terriers,was an exceptional pheasant and partridge dog, and had it's fair share of single handed daytime hares. mike.

Lurcher to lurcher bred pups off good breeding make the best allrounders imho.

Spot on mucka

[DottyDoo 500]

imo there are guys oot there that could try every possible cross an mix of lurcher an never have a decent dog

 

an then there are guys that could have any cross an make a half decent allrounder, all depends on the time put in an the time out in the field if ye ask me

 

tho there will be dogs that are easier to get to the allrounder grade than others

a dog that gives you 100% on everything makes a good all rounder mates got a bitch that turns her hand to anything if its ferreting to lamping bushing what ever you show her she will take in some way a very honest bitch deff a pot filler and doesnt look much

Yes dick head i realize that. My point was - if i was running big open land for various quarry, then my choice of breed as an 'all rounder' would differ to if running a lot of small land or a different environment. I don't think it's possible to say an 'a x b with a small dash of c' is the best all rounder. A persons opinion of what in their eyes makes a good all rounder will differ from person to person, based upon personal experience with certain dogs and where, why and what on they run their dogs. So before you start being a prick . . . . engage your brain.

:wallbash:Surely an "all rounder" will be running on different quarry on different terrains and environments.

Otherwise it's not an all rounder.

How many folk have the opportunity to do this though? I know what you are saying, but i think the term 'all rounder' mean different things to different people. For may it just means ability to take a variety of game/vermin (pre ban), and as such different dogs suit different environments. For some it's not about different quarry so much as different jobs, lamping, ferreting, daytime work. Either way it's still based upon what individual dogs a person has seen rather than surveys of entire breeds.

 

There is also something about being a jack of all trades and master of none, which is what a lot of all rounders are. Very few dogs excel at everything. . . . . .and those that do - well it's about a lot more than just the breed or x. jmo.
