Coyotehunter 689 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 If you know some other lads that have some good bushing terriers, let your pup follow the experienced dogs till the penny drops, if it has an ounce hunt in it, it shouldn't take too long Quote Link to post

hw97k 36 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) i have got a blue and tan border whos 3 ,hes caught 2 rabbits on open ground ,got 3 pheasant and 3 wood pigeon in cover.hes just got a good hunting pedigree in him ,just a little pushing when he was young .they only come on around 18 months old best dog ive had .okay 1 of the rabbits had mixy but still ran over 150 yards .also got a incredible nose for squizzers chasing hundreds to the safety of a tree,just started taking him out with the gun so hopfully hell proove his worth.to me its per cent breeding and 20 per cent bloody hard work.hes constantly marking and never stops running and mooching for scent,best bushing dog in over 20 that we have for use with the lurcher crowd .funny thing is hes not intrested in rats and hes had hundreds of chances but hes perfect for what i hunt and think ive just been lucky and blessed with a gud un Edited February 23, 2011 by hw97k Quote Link to post
