Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 The only yardstick i use to measure if a dog is an allrounder is its ability to take all four legged quarry by any given method... Everything else is just 'fluff'...!What about hunting, grabbing and retrieving feather? Retrieving shot feather wether with gun or catapult? Jumping? Having a good temperament? I thought the lurcher was the animal of choice for the poacher? Not just a means of "taking 4 legged quarry". Is your keyboard broke weasle? Lol Quote Link to post

I thought the lurcher was the animal of choice for the poacher? Not just a means of "taking 4 legged quarry". I think the dog your describing mate is the (old type) poaching dog that would do bit of everything, to put meat on the table, and from what ive read the dog was ne-on farm dog mix not over quick dog.in them days hares, rabbits were caught with (long nets) so didnt need fast type dog like that's been bred today , and going about with 1millon cp lamp today its a different ball game . if you was really into getting big numbers hares rabbits, deer, today serious poachers wouldn't fook about with dogs, they use guns if there selling to dealers. the old mythical poacher+ dog is what it is just in books , the proper poacher of to day is worlds apart, I knew bloke in the 80s never used a dog, only for the odd bit ferreting + long nets he use whippet x thing, but is main weapons of choice were long nets+guns I never mentioned big numbers mate. Just a dog doing a bit of anything. Maybe you're right. It's mythical ? Quote Link to post

It's mythical yeh that's it , something just for the pot most dogs would, but if trying to make coin from it regular I dont think dog would be used , there get more from a gun and easier/ cheaper to keep lol Quote Link to post
