I hope you don't mind my asking a very simple question. But what is a bushing dog? Thanks for the help:)

I must admit this isn't something I'd ever though off as specialist.

 

There were a lot of people I knew who used their spaniels and labs for walked up shooting over rough land/hedges.

 

Then some like me who sent in the ratting dog, are these dogs expected to catch game? I haven't known a dog that could reliably catch game in cover.

Always flushed to a gun or running dog.

My terriers catch in the bushes 8/10 times out. I think its just how well they are bred and the time youve put in to them. Plus the area you live, where im from its just 1 big bush lol ..I'v worked with lads from areas with little cover who claim to have "the best dog in the area" and when they come to where i live there dogs dont know what to do and spend hours running around outside the bushes wondering what all the ruckus is from inside the bush lol ..I guess a bushing dog is a dog that can work the cover in order to flush or catch game. Whether it be flush to gun, flushed and pushed to ground, to get the game to break cover essentially.

Jimbo what type of terriers do you have, whatever they are they sound really good and also what size are they. atb daywalker.

bushing dog, cover dog, flushing dogs...they are all finding dogs, some find and flush, some find and hunt, and some find and chase/catch.
