poacher3161 1,766 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 My choice would be a hound x springer.Springers can be versatile hunting different game [bANNED TEXT] tuned into a certain quarry.I remember years ago takeing one down south to bush for muntjac as she had never seen or scented one around here and it dint take long before she homed in on them and hunted them like a veteran even following my saluki x across a feild into a small spinney were he nailed it.

gonetoearth 5,144 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Yer, I suppose so mate. It's about a local lad, who is probably one of this citys finest dog men. When I was a kid he kept some of the finest lurchers and terriers around, in and out of the city, no one was keener either, a Scouse legend is Ste! I remember in the early 's he said he was gonna put his best terrier bitch to a good spaniel dog and work the pups as bushing dogs. To be honest I thought he had lost the fecking plot, I just couldn't see it, as he worked some of the best working terriers around but he bred 'em and those dogs abilitys were up for all to see, no one he hunted with had any complaints! He then added beagle blood, again from the best stock and these dogs really did the job, working like a mini pack of hounds, they worked close and us lurcher lads seen some action! He was litterally overbooked with offers of days out, from far and wide! His blood has travelled all over this country and has never let him, or the lads out, down! I can only speak from expierience and say that Ste's dogs have given me some of my finest daytime sport. He did it long before anyone i've ever heard of and now, in a 'boom' of this type of cross his dogs have seen many others off. Sadly Ste ain't been to well of late and I, along with many others, wish him a speedy recovery, though I fear his days with his mini pack are over, a book could and should be written about his deeds (then again, maybe not, ha!!) But that type of dog, if bred right can really make a difference... Thank god, some have the forsight to do it..... sleeping in the judges huts up with the sun on altcar to the last trains to everywere lamps n lurchers terriers and mutts a life time and a legend a book glad the news of the worlds gone Quote Link to post
Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Here's one for you ......... Just got a newsletter off some woman who runs a "dog training" class near me, I took my pup there to socialise him a bit when he was younger ........ "8. I have another dog needing a new home. Barney (no.2) is a young gregerious Beagle X Foxhound whose owners since taking over a new busines are unable to give him the time needed. Please contact me for futher information and contact details. I have a photo if anyone would like to see him first." I've already replied to her. Quote Link to post

Buch 145 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I think hes saying that a beagle x foxhound is hardly a dog for the home enviroment and 95% of people on the planet would be "unable to give him the time needed". I think i would agree. Quote Link to post

sweeper 156 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I agree with above,1 might put the odd bad fox to ground,but you would really need more to be pushing foxs to ground regular. fair comment but imo it depends where your hunting most urban foxes are never really far from there den and not many like to use the footpaths and roads although they will if neccescery the crossed hound types are good for such places but take them on bigger spots and they can come unstuck horses for coursers regards Quote Link to post
