Leggy Russell...

[Gaz_1989 9,539]

Is anyone using the leggy type Jack Russell for bushing? How are they getting on? Do the longer legs hinder them too much getting in tight cover?

Mavis does well.

Do you mean leggy as opposed to crooked front old lady type of Russell ?

I'd say being a bit leggy won't hurt as they have to step over stuff as well as under stuff so kind d of evens it self out plus gives it a bit more speed

Yes rascal she does. Been talking about her with her owner today.

 

And yes roybo just the more leggy variety what people refer to as parsons I guess.

Just a preference thing really,,,but I do favour small jrt...it's plain sailing for them......The ideal size dog for bushing tight brambles by a mile, but a long leg one will also get the job done no bother.......my concern would be more with the dams sire abilities......sort of avoiding hardcore digging dogs, but there are always exceptions to the norm.

My last terrier was very leggy in fact she wasn't far off 16tts but she still managed to work most cover and she would catch now and then but she did used to get messed up quickly. I would still have her today if she hadn't been killed while out. atb daywalker.

A dog can fold its legs ... If it has the will to get into a tight spot to flush game it will .......

the best bushing terrier i have seen and he caught regular was leggy russell type a very good dog his ears suffered ended up looking and feeling like leather but if anything was in there he would find and flush it a good marker to worth his weight in gold working railway banking or anywere with plenty of brash and he gave the lurchers some good sport also

My bullx bitch is same 23 tts if she thinks somthings in she will take the bush with her to get at her quarry. Bull x lurchers can be very deadly at bushing. I hunt with a young lad with a bedlington x bull/whippet. We bush, lamp, shoot and both dogs do everything. But his is unbeatable in the bush. By the way lee thats the dog i mentioned about putting to your bitch. Edited October 31, 2014 by Poacherspocket
