rob190364 2,594 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 for those that bush with beddies, or any terriers for that matter.....how do you get on when the terrier has flushed a rabbit and the lurcher has caught it? don't you end up with a tug of war? or a lurcher wanting to give the terrier a good hiding for trying to take the rabbit off it? a spaniel would be train to flush but not catch, but could you realistically do that with a terrier? from what I can gather most bushing terriers catch their fair few when in cover so there's no way you'd be able to get them to stop chasing as soon as the rabbit breaks cover, is there? or is it a pecking order thing? when the higher ranking dog (i.e. the lurcher) has the prey the terrier leaves alone? in my limited experience with terriers of any kind, they don't tend to fully respect what should be a pecking order!! I'm just picturing a rabbits that have been chewed up, stretched and fought over and end up good for nothing more than ferret food, which for me partly defeats the object of catching them to begin with. 1 Quote Link to post

I don't get it......it'd be like deliberately massively stacking the odds against you having a decent worker for no reason other than to try and prove a point. I'm far from an expert on the breed, but looking at the state of every show bedlington I've ever seen I'd be amazed if there's a single one in the country that has even a fraction of the capability of even an average one from working stock. 1 Quote Link to post
Rory4 267 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Rob if i was after just a busher I would get a spanial, for a few reasons, my lurcher was retreiving a rabbit live this morning till my beddie grab hold of the ass of rabbit and wouldnt let go, good way to ruin a lurchers retrieving but managed to get the beddie off and kept walkin so lurcher had retrieve it to me, the lurcher has told her off before for it but not this time shes a softie if was a different type of lurcher it could kick off or refuse to retrieve atall! theres a few lads doing earth work with kc but does the bit of paper mean anything????

I'm no expert either mate just stating a fact, when you mean working stock i take it you mean the border/fell crosses?? Quote Link to post
