morton 5,368 Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Just wordered what are your views on them as ferreting and a dog to be used with a terrier?As a ferreting companion they are tried and tested and earn their keep,as a lurcher to work with terriers that would depend on the terriers and the graft they see.Working with a bushing terrier id want a lurcher that offers more,as a companion for a terrier that works below they lack more than they offer. 1 Quote Link to post
