birddog 1,354 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 lots of interesting replies, type of ground and most likely prey are major factors but some types / breeds suit some types of owners and the amount of effort time their willing to put in to rearing a pup, experience also counts as an experienced owner can enter the pup according to it's progressing ability and not just jump in at the deep end, we've all heard of the beddy / whippet taking roe and 1st x deerhound greyhound taking rats and rabbits but for me the middle route with a good chance of making an allrounder would be a collie x with the percentages to suit the owner / type of ground Quote Link to post

gamerooster 1,179 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 as a lot of people have said, its as much down to the person training the dog as it is the actual dog itself, what you put in is what you get out, pre ban my saluki dog took roe deer when i wanted one for the freezer, 21 out of 23 hares in a season, all on large estate land, by all means no mean feat, but good enough for me, and was a top notch dog for taking feather, he had a nack of catching partridge on the lamp, but he did struggle catching coneys, just coudlent stick with them on the bends, he jumped 6 foot 3, witnessed by many people, was completely stock proof, and guarded my gamecocks, but would never touch a feather on them, so in my opinion, that was my ideal alrounder, yes, there will be a 1000 dogs out there that were better than him, but he done the job i asked and wanted from him, and i enjoyed every minute i had him!!!

gamerooster 1,179 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 That's what I am talking about gamerooster A dog that suits you and does everything that u ask of it as i said peter, he was by no means a world beater, he got beat in a race by a half cross whippet greyhound, but he was no slouch, and i doubt he would ever of made a good dog on teeth, but if you went out for a mooch, you never knew what you were coming back with, but 9 times out of 10 you come back with something for the pot Quote Link to post
