reading your post mate never mind the mutt learn to set nets

 

wernt using nets pal, my main permission is covered in brambles so we was bolting them to the gun we had a lot of rabbits but the odd few that got away a dog would have had with ease

All of this 'any lurcher will do' i just don't get?

 

A ferreting dog is a specialised dog, with a fair range of tasks to perform, more so than a lamp dog.

 

I'd say that if you were going to pluck for one particular x, for the ferreting game, it'd be a collie x or the equivalant (i.e kelpie, Acd)

 

They have patience, and durability, along with good stamina, intelligence, and usually a half decent jacket. Also good feet, good nose.

 

We use a collie x lurcher and a pure whippet and find that between them they cover most angles.

 

 

p.s - Hound x - bolting to the gun and dogs at the same time is a real bad idea.

i think that you would be better to aproach the subject thinking what breed would suit you best and go with that for example.

 

i ferret land that is mainly hedgrows on small fields. there is never safty far away for the bunny so accelaration is more important then speed. the dog is relied upon to mark so its nose is important. i ferret in all weather so coat is important to fit in my household needs to be not much over the 20 tts mark and be able to be trained in the way i do it. i went with beddi whippet

and if you cant provide enough game oportunities dont get one

my pals saluki cross is as patient as it comes, i have whippet cross and his saluki cross is loads better, it sits on the holes marks the right holes, and has good feet and doesnt shiver like my whippet cross in most of the brittish months, it picks up rabbits fast aswell no messing about, but i think anydog will do the job in the right hands.

Why not ????? The clue is in the word ferreting.: )

I think investing in a long net or two would be the way to go if you intend shooting over ferrets instead of using purse nets..

After ferreting without a dog that could mark for ages, I tend to agree with Jai.. Since I've been ferreting with my little terrier I can't remember the last time I entered a ferret into an unoccupied bury..
