Lurcher and which Terrier?

[lurcherdave 6]

I have a russell x lakeland that works pretty well with my lurcher, but if i had to do it again i'd have just a lurcher.

Hi mate

A mate I go ferreting with has a patt which has been worked hard and by all accountants was a good earth dog ( diggings not my thing but was his) he's around 10 now but still comes out ferreting and he's a good marker and steady all day, he's a switched on dog.

I've got a jack russel which I got for bushing, ratting, ferreting ect and she does all of these things well and for work above ground she works well with my lurcher.

Good luck with your choice mate.

Thanks Newkid, Like I said I want to take my time but I think you are right a Patterdale seems the best option to dig to and a JRT for hedge bashing

I have a bullx and a patt but i will admit the patt is not used for bushing but what she is used for she does well and her and my lurcher make a great team. But i do also have access to a jrt that bushes n my mate has bushing terriers so i am lucky. Before anyone jumps on me sayin its the perfect symbol for a chav i didnt choose these dogs for looks i went on the breedin n there parents ability to work n lukily i av ended up with two dogs that i am proud of

Cheers Phil, wouldnt think for a minute you are a chav. I think dog trends come and go but they all must have an underlying use otherwise they wouldnt become popular in the first place, would they?

[PhilProp 51]

Wel yh that is true in a way. Well all the best on your choice n selection hope u get two dogs that serve u well.

Yeah sorry ideation, I didnt want to be to graphic as I am never to sure if digging offends some people in the lurcher section. I wouldnt mind a few terriers for digging along with one that will mostly work above ground for long walks out

you aint no beginner,you know what its about

If you want a terrier thats bred from good grafting stock then you need to be be thinking about the going to ground side of things mate most terriers will work along side lurchers and vicer versa mate if you get a dog thats bred from 100 % digging stuff your gona have a dog thats gona have alot of interest in going to ground if you get a dog thats bred from bushing dogs youll just have a busher that may go to ground time to time ive got a russell now hes about 12month old bushes ok his mom was an alrite busher his dad was a digging dog so i was told its just what you want i do like abit of digging myself but its just a pain in the arse if you take them out with out a collar and they drop speaking from past experience mate

Cheers Penda, defo dont need a dog that is gonna bury itself everytime I am out for a stroll. I will defo try and get dogs that come from the work that I want each one to do specifically. Good advice thanks, dogs look handy
