New member of the team.

[Ideation 8,216]

Ok, so not a lurcher, and perhaps in the wrong section (put her here as she will be working a longside the runners if it all goes to plan), but here's Gwen, the newest member of the team. Got her home today and she has settled in well, bold as brass, and responds well to me so far.

 

Finally tired out and still enough to take a photo!

Im sure she will be marking up burrows by September mate..she looks a beauty..good luck.

[Ideation 8,216]

We will see mate, going to have to really keep on top of her. . . . .she could be a nightmare. If she doesnt work out for the one set of tasks, she will be used for others. It's a bit of an experiment, which might not work, we shall see.

 

Forgot to mention her breeding, she basiclly a mixed small hound, 3/4 beagle, 1/8 teckle, 1/8 mixed hound (from chipper smiths stuff).

be good to see how it goes if you get it right that will be a top bushing dog atb with the pup hows the whippet with it atb troter

[Malt 379]

Good luck with her pal!

[Ideation 8,216]

Cheers all

 

Aye trotter, if it goes right, i will have a bushing dog that can hunt like feck, wont go to ground, will give tngue, and will catch as well.

 

If it doesn't go so well, it will be a fecking nightmare, and instead of a bushing dog for the runners, it will give my old man some fun, with the shotgun (will send him off to join a gun pack somewhere, get him out the house haha)

 

The whippet spent about ten mins looking at her, trying to decide if he should run away or eat her, then fecked off upstairs, and has only come down to go for a walk, then straight back up the stairs without even looking at her, i think he feels somewhat 'put out'. I'm sure they will settle, she isn't phased by him at all. She's spent all night running about, dragging things ten times her size and raging feck out of my socks.

nice pup ja, might not be as bad as you think being a bitch, might be bit more biddable .Put the time in and should be sound, its great having a dog use its nose, Bryn is great with his in the day, he might have springer in him .lol like to have alook at her when she is older .!

Been out with chips little hound crosses they can sure find game atb with it let's hope your fit they hunt scent for miles

[Ideation 8,216]

Cheers Jay and Ray!

 

She's got a nose on her already (not really surprising with the breed), has found every speck of edible stuff on the carpet! I'm sure she will be of some use, when she is grown. Hopefully she will have a bit of a wiry coat to her.

Yer that's the one issue with working her a long side the runners, i'm hoping that with the work put in early, holding her back from game for a good bit, and her being a bitch, and solo hound, she 'might' be biddable enough to use as a busher. However, she may well, just be a hound, and do what hounds do, i.e feck off over hill and dale, in which case i guess she will have to be used as a hound. Like i said, a bit of an experiment.
