mole trapper 1,693 Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 take my two lurchers all the time, several terriers used on the two shoots i go to, funny thing is mine can be a bit quick so if there are a lot of birds or its early in the season i hold them back, once the springers and labs have done their bit the keeper says release the hounds, at which point my two go and. : put up all the birds the pros missed Quote Link to post

jester 0 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Use mine where the cover is too thick for the spaniels, put the other dogs to shame in most places, dont miss a bird and the keepers love them for it Quote Link to post
