Obviously the odds are stacked in your favour if you get a dog from a long line of worker to worker, and even at times that kind of mating can produce failures.

 

However there will always be exceptions to any rule and i'm sure there are a good handful of well worked dogs that were bred of dubious ancestors.

I've seen dogs bred both ways hunt.Nothing i would want to drop into a line unless it was a proven producer but more of take out and enjoy type terrier.

i have seen pure mongrel street dogs that would tag along out on a hunt when i was a youngfella go to ground and work like a demon ,often got into trouble from neighbours bringing their dogs back smashed up or sometimes the dogs wouldn't even come home

My cousins pat x lab bred from house dogs is a belter he him self dosnt hunt but the dog luvs it an [bANNED TEXT] he takes him for walks he just walks the paths having a spliff an the dog works the f**k out of the place just comes out with stuff an drops them by his feet an it's off again it amazed me [bANNED TEXT] I was out with them the area we was in hasn't got that many rabbits but it got 3 within an hour an a half.

i agree a dog does not know its kc and all that so why dont people give kc dogs more of a chance? for example the beddy there does not seem to be many workers out there but lots of show stock that might given the chance wud wrk?

Away from KC, we had 2 workers that "accidently met", decided to keep one of the pups and has shown no interest at all (above or below!).. we have had some KC ones in the past, some have made it some have not but sadly we dont get our hands on these til they are fully grown and are proving a "handfull"!

labrador x alasation used to course hares on altcar , we had a pack of mongrels as kids that would hunt anything people seem to forget these days dogs are dogs and given the chance in the right enviroment will revert to being a DOG
