HarryLFC 1 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I am new to working dogs as I usually go ferreting and shooting, I have had a 2yr old Staffordshire bull terrier for about 6 months now and I'm looking into getting a lurcher. Could a staffie work with lurchers? Quote Link to post

TOM HEAVY 140 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 i go on regular mooching sesh's with a mate who has a staff and a red nose, both very willing and eager to hunt and work, both very fast but a little slow on turning/agillity but great hunters none the less, they drove 2 rabbits out the bush a few days ago for my lurcher pup (6 month) to have a good chase and sprint on, without the saff/red nose i wouldn't of had a case that night.
