hillbilly boy 109 Posted December 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 I dint say he can't I said I wouldn't! Mine bushes as good as I've seen but she's not working to flush to lurchers she's working to catch anything and everything herself she hunts! If your out bushing for a few rabbits to the Lurcher and they put something else up and disappear for a hour or drop to ground as they are a terrier it's no fun! A beddy whippet will catch a lot more and can lamp! A spaniel x will bush hard and work close and work as a team and stop when told! the terrier dropping to ground is not a problem cause we don't have anything for them to go to ground on did look at a spaniel cross but just didn't fancy one not my type of dog 1 Quote Link to post

Country Joe 1,411 Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) Nice looking dog joe how tall was it 18 inch, best rabbiting dog and feather I have ever owned, she was well known, as a few seen her work, and were always impressed. You very rarely returned empty handed with this Bitch. Always thought she looked liked a cross between a brush and a broom. Only entered her once in a working show in her class she came last.
