krawnden 1,036 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 They do look similar, but your pups are going to end up taller - if they're 6 months there's quite possibly another inch or so to go. Mine's 14" at 81/2 months, and I'm hoping she doesn't get any bigger... 1 Quote Link to post
fairy10 12 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Thats a nice dog mate whats her speed like for boletrs and ferreting ?atb Quote Link to post
krawnden 1,036 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 She's very quick for her size. Has grabbed a few bolters while ferreting, but hasn't always been able to hang onto them in thick cover. Not sure if it's down to inexperience or lack of jaw power.... She caught - and hung onto - her first one while bushing at the weekend Quote Link to post
fairy10 12 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 She mainly a busher cose or small runner I think a little half x will be a usefull runner/ferreter? Quote Link to post

Tozer 385 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I had one similar at 11, she was epic, brilliant for what I did with the rats and rabbits, she worked well on mink and would work well round water, she could swim as fast as any dog I have seen randomly, nothing like seeing a dog snap something whilst swimming! 2 Quote Link to post

Half cross should certainly be good for ferreting and bushing. But unless you use a terrier that's well up on the leg I don't think you should expect it to be fast enough to take rabbits in the open.

Thanks daywalker - I'm very pleased with her. She certainly leans towards the whippet.... Quote Link to post

Sounds great. Mine's yet to really encounter water - very little of it around where i tend to hunt. She's leaped a few streams, and where they were a bit too wide for her to easily clear has fallen short and landed with a splosh, but then come straight up the bank. That doesn't really count as swimming! 1 Quote Link to post

krawnden 1,036 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Thanks wi11ow. She's a real livewire, that's for sure. I'd say the biggest problem I've got with her is that when she's fired up she is rather prone to turning a deaf ear. Mind you, to be fair to her, when she does turn a deaf ear she nearly always pushes something out within the next 30 seconds or so But I don't want her to think she can just ignore me and always do her own thing... 1 Quote Link to post
