coverdogs 888 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 The bitch was out of a 3/4 patterdale 1/4 bebbie x border lakey good leggy bitch and a good busher mated to a fell hound dog, they have a good voice and are pretty good on open ground we ran them with full bred huonds last year to get them started, we had a great laught one day at the end of last year we were hunting a forestry and the first two out on the hunt were the two pups in full cry after the fox the fella that owned the fell hounds had some stick to listen too. lol atb cd 1 Quote Link to post

coverdogs 888 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 hello tinytiger we have two of them here they hunt with our other dogs a border-beagle x cocker and a irishterrier x beagle, the dog in the first pic is 20 ins and a bitch about 18 or so i thought they would have been bigger with the foxhound in them, the dog has a good deep voice the bitch is a yapper like a terrier. atb cd 1 Quote Link to post
Bossie 90 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 They look great! How far do they go when on scent? (as in distance from the handler) Do they stay pretty close? Would they (apart from the specific legal situation) be willing to take on fox and maybe work a boar? Quote Link to post

Hi Bossie they will follow a line on a good scent but we can call them off with the horn if we want, they hunt with the full bred hounds on the hill aswell but can get left behind on a very long hunt they are at there best in small tight cover, they are not afraid to get stuck in when the opportunity arises, as far as boar is concerned we can only dream about them. atb cd Quote Link to post
