hellyer189 93 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 What attributes make a good day time dog, I use my dog for both lamp and day, iv never caught with him in the day but he does ok on the lamp, what are people's opinions on using one dog for day and night and any tips for the future? My terrier will find and flush but he taps and the lurcher will try and get in the bush and misses the run irritating to say the least!! Quote Link to post

rabbit slayer 22 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I like my day time dogs to be steady with a good nose that can hold a line. I like them to be independent from each other aswell not all racing around when one dog has pick up on a line, like each dog to work it out for them selfs and hold that line instead of running around eraticly.
