Daveo 61 Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Iv put this in the lurcher section aswell but thought it might get more results here., Im thinking about getting a little bushing bitch to work along side my lurcher bitch. Iv been thinking about allsorts of different breeds. Basically i want a dog that will hunt through any cover moving rabbits (and anything else) for the lurcher. I was thinking about a larger type terrier such as a Bedlington. Iv been thinking about Spaniels too!!! Cocker, springer or sprocker? (stupid name that) and even a Tekel! What i dont want is a dog that will go nose down and set off on a line not to be seen for hours, like wise i dont want a earth dog type because i dont want to have to dig to it.... Also i dont have millions to spend so it probably rules out the pedgrees (to be fair they are wasted on me anyway) Can any one make a suggestion? Id like to hear from people who work dogs in a similar fashion please. Or if anyone knows of any likely litters, Cheers Dave, Quote Link to post

morton 5,368 Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 You got several posts on the lurcher site,there was also a post there on the same topic with lots of replies, now you post the same topic in the terrier site, go and ask your mum if you are really allowed a dog.

Youve got a lot of mouth for someone with 12 posts This is the same site mate just a different section, As the topic is relevent in both sections as it involves lurchers and potentially terriers i thought it prudent to ask in both sections. Some of the lurcher lads never venture into the terrier section and vice versa. Iv asked my mam she says its fine, I think you should ask your's to teach you some manner's, now run along you scamp.

morton 5,368 Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 When you get another 57 opinions will you decide on what dog to get or will you go back to the WBF and ask for more. I used to be undecided now im just not sure. Quote Link to post

I used to be undecided now im just not sure. Dont forget some of the opinions are from people like you, so utterly worthless. Im always happy to learn about dogs from other people, Infact the purpose of sites like these are so groups of like minded people can share infomation and experiences. As you have not offered anything constructive, why don't you go and complain about someone else's thread? Quote Link to post
