Which one

[fireman 11,012]

I got russells and a plummer,the russell are from good stuff but they ain't in the same league when bushing or mooching as the plummer is.

wheaten x whippet good all rounder for that job

 

bit like useing a sledgehammer to kill a fly.

 

plummers cant be beat for allround rat/rabbit work. if bought from worker to worker. i'm speaking from experience on all counts. plummers can be a little harder to keep. in my opinion. and good luck with whatever you choose

regarding ratting and bushing they take some beating.

my plummers are a little more vocal than any other breed ive kept. and can be noisy. they can be a little gassy. and will fight at the drop of a hat. when out working this settles down and is controllable. and the vocal thing is very handy when bushing. but these things can be a nuisence out of season. this is based on my own terriers. there will be people on here that have a lot more knowledge than me on the breed. they are on the plus side highly intelligent terriers and easily trained . this is a double edged sword as it also makes them easily ruined. i wouldnt have any other breed for top work now. yis. cs

Too right, i,ve seen so called working type terriers and spanials shy away when it comes to working thick brambles.

I know of a lad paid £1500 for a springer that was working cover, he watched it work reeds and grass up in the dales, was good at that nice and steady.

took it home and it wouldnt enter brambles

[billybaltic 308]

Must of been gutted.

[Carraghs Gem 1,675]

yawns seen a few curs, farm collies and pound terriers ratting and bushing heavy cover, just cos your overpriced fancy mutts cant cut the mustard it doesnt mean im wrong

Practice marks perfect

They can also be that noisy that they push the rabbits out too far ahead or worse still to ground, £1500 is alot of money for a bushing dog , even worse when it wont do the type of work he bought it for, did he keep it.

If you were after a terrier for mainly ratting and a bit of mooching around, what would you choose.

 

I'd choose a Norfolk. They're small, swift and vicious XD.
