Eireman96 9 Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) I was told before that borders can tend to be a shy dog, is there any truth behind that? Working bedlingtons are hard to come across in ireland. Edited April 2, 2013 by Eireman96 Quote Link to post
Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 How big are the bushes?!This thing gets stuck every time he goes near brambles, like velcro! They stink, and this one is "challenging" around other dogs, so I keep him away from them mainly.He was socialised, twice a day from 5 or 6 weeks old, met all the local park dogs, went to dog training classes (for the interaction) and comes into town with me most days when I go to the Post Office, he got to 2 ish, and turned into a raving lunatic, he's wary as fck of strangers (but then so am I) he is a real hard work dog, I can't imagine having another dog here.If he's anywhere near typical of the type, then that's not what you're looking for by the sounds of it. 4 Quote Link to post

Mick C. 229 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Russells are handy little rabbit dogs Just started a rough coated bitch this season. Once there confidence is built up they will follow hot scent through the tightest of bramle. Saying that i seen all sorts of mongrel types that have been as good as the traditional types Getting them out regular is the way foward time will do the rest Quote Link to post
fat man 4,741 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Thanks for help lads, if anyone could recommend a terrier type breed that will mingle and work well with other dogs, i was also thinking of a plummer but they are hard to get here, would they be strong enough? As i dont plan on using it for rats and most definatly dont want something that can go to ground. bud get a terrier x springer then you wont have to worry about it dropping to ground Have seen full springers go to ground Danny,and know of 2 cockers that regulary had to be dug out while out shooting.

lawrence 657 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 personally if i was you i'ld get myself a wee cocker, your lurchers will catch more and after a while you'll wonder how you ever managed without one. it was certainly one of the best choices i ever made. my fella "the spaniard" 4 Quote Link to post

lawrence 657 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 parted with her after she killed a bedlington bitch Chris. my cocker opens up one he's gets something on the move. Quote Link to post
Cleanspade 3,322 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 contrary to popular opinion a lot of plummers will drop to ground same as any terrier. if you dont want it to ground, avoid any terrier small enough. 1 Quote Link to post
