hi mate i take my terriers ferreting only to mark the holes for me then they are put on their lead as they would kill my ferrets and would 0nly use albinos with them not to make a mistake using a polecat may get mistaken for a rat cheers DM

funnily enough mate my terrier is ot 100% with ferrets and sometimes marks the odd set , i mainly take him along as some of the land i ferret is rough and has a lot of cover so it just makes the lurchers job a bit easier

heres my terrier she comes out with me every time i go ferreting good marker

[shotgunandy 2]

always take the terriers out with us, invaluable companions while out in my opinion

I can't fit the terriers down the hole so I use ferrets!

I take my terrier out with me on all ferreting trips she is jack plummer with a dash of whippet in her the best ever terrier I have owned smart and fast and loves the rats and mr ginger above ground so she come every where with me one top dog she is broken to ferrets at 12 weeks old and will walk over a netted bury without disturbing one net.

So is this dog a terrier? put it like this, my dog is a beddlington, with a bit of whippet... this means it is a beddywhippet, which comes under the lurcher class...Surely once a dog has sight hound in it, it is classed a lurcher...

 

I f a bull terrier is crossed with a whippet or greyhound, it becomes a bullx lurcher..

 

Is this why she acts and walks like a lurcher on the sets, and why she is smart and fast, because she is a lurcher?

 

I know it is confusing, this is why i am asking, cant work it out, what do you lot think?

no not at all, and no one is saying it does, you are missing the point. It was just an observation, and was wondering on other peoples views...

 

Surely thought, you'd want to know, if you a a dog that was clever, and you told people it was a terrier, when really it was a lurcher..

I wouldn't go ferreting without my terrier. Can't beat a terrier that can accurately mark, especially when you ferret hedgerows with hard to get to holes you'd normally miss if you didn't have a dog capable of getting into the tighter spots.

[danny dolman 4]

suppose yeh got a fair point
