krawnden 1,036 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Here's why I wanted to get a busher. My lurcher marks rabbits in cover really well but won't dive into thick bramble (which there's loads of round me) for love nor money. It's easy enough to kick something out of smallish clumps but anything bigger and there's little hope. The dog marking all these rabbits but not getting that many runs was doing my head in, so I got a bushing pup in the summer. She's still a baby with lots to learn, but she's already finding and pushing out so much game that our walks are way more interesting. In this clip the dog was marking but I didn't know where the pup had got to so was just waiting for her to show up. Eventually spotted her come out of a ditch about 100 yards away.... http://youtu.be/wfQKQxgDrSs 9 Quote Link to post

Flacko 1,747 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Sound that mate what x is your Lurcher and busher how old is the terrier Quote Link to post
krawnden 1,036 Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 No idea about the lurcher - got him from a rescue place aged 8 months and they couldn't tell me anything about his breeding. Busher is 3/4 terrier, 1/4 whippet. She's nearly 8 months old. Quote Link to post

bird 9,936 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 I am lucky really, as both my lurcher will go in cover, and few times the one lurcher as held back when the other knocked out the quarry , so in one way ive never need a bushing dog. don't get me wrong a cocker would be great to work with lurcher you get some great sport. and this will shock people the best busher of my 2 lurchers is my big gsd x grey Buck, feck me he goes in any cover, and for such big dog god knows how he gets in tight places. 1 Quote Link to post

Both my older bitches bush and can really hunt at a good distance but for ground scent a little busher does really out hunt them both can't beat the little tykes Quote Link to post
