BIG G wheton machine 1,594 Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 I never had an outstanding lurcher that was a one in a million dog how ever ive had the pleasure of hunting with 2 dogs of different breeding both owned by very good mates. 1. was a collie grey x collie grey called rebel this dog had balls to burn great taking foxes hares rabbits cats in high numbers also was great out digging marked holes and done his job outstandingly when out digging with out going into details, he took 4 foxes in one day out doing cover and didn't mind teeth. 2. the other is a bull grey called meg this bitch has put many a good dog to shame again she is a great taker of fox and all other game great around holes and both were great with stock and other dogs and a great marker of fox in holes. 1 thing that sticks in my mind these 1 in a million dogs are always in the right place at the right time every time they go out and I think this also helps in the making of these higher rated dogs. could it be a 6th sense or they could be just lucky ba$tards . 2 Quote Link to post
