johnny boy68 11,726 Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I use lurchers for ferreting,they don't work cover like a terrier but they catch bolters better than a terrier,they mark just as well at least mine do. Like anything if it works for you that should be enough. Quote Link to post
Col_c88 41 Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 nice pics there johnny Quote Link to post
tinman3 3 Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 my lakeyX marks well and digs well when alloud to, only thing with him is the wineing non stop! does my tities in!! i dont think you can say that one breed of dog is best,alot of different dogs used for ferreting, a friend of mine has a small staf that mark for nothing its his ferreting partner, haha mine keeps me happy in what he does is i could kick the wineing from him then i would say perfect! haha Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I'm with johnnyboy68, a good running dog beats a terrier hands down (apart from some ground i suppose). I'd say our team of 3 - collie/grey, whippet and beddy/grey/bull/whippet seem to do the job Although having said that i do want to add a decent terrier or small hound to the team. Also there is a difference between a dog that come ferreting and a ferreting dog Quote Link to post
chameleon 26 Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 First choice has to be a lurcher for me, I only use terriers to flush from cover Quote Link to post
king123 4 Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Has anyone used a border terrier when ferreting? Quote Link to post
The one 8,513 Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 The lurcher shes no the fastest but doesn't miss many when were out ferreting Quote Link to post
gunnerx 0 Posted June 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 seems everbody is differ a have couple lurcher wippets that do the trick. but we have a collie russel that makes it look so easy on quick dabs and setting holes it must be the brains. Quote Link to post
