p3d 879 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 My Border bitch is progressing well at bushing. She has driven rabbits from cover, Trailed Fox, and is relentless and tireless from start to finish. She is 14 months old now and started tracking at about 6 months, went deeper into cover at about 10 months. The dog will work cover but only if the scent is very hot and tends to stand off listening to her inside. I have to be careful as i have started running both dogs through empty earths in the last month. I hope there bushings days will be coming to an end. ATB Quote Link to post

tearem 31 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Do the borders always give voice on warm lines? We use short hunting German terriers over here for bushing, and they must speak to the warm line, of small and big game. They also make many miles through every terrain and thick cover. For bushing I too would not prefer a brown or brownish greyish dog but a black or white one. We always do this with the Guns. We do a lot of maize fields in the after summer, mostly to wild boar and fox, but also rabbit, hare, pheasant and other small game. Quote Link to post

p3d 879 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Both of my dog are silent. Only ever heard the bitch yap after she had shifted a rabbit out of cover and was chasing it uphill. Frustrated that it was getting away! Quote Link to post
