rob190364 2,594 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Just wondering what people are using for bushing to lurchers, whatever you're using (terriers/spaniels/mongrels etc) how good are they and do you have any pics to post? Quote Link to post

I do like russels, do they not try and snatch the bunnys from the lurchers though or have you trained them not to? Quote Link to post

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Villebones - that pup looks a cracker. I am considering a little russel or russel/bull/patt etc for bushing and ratting. Gaz Quote Link to post
