English Pointer

[dogs-n-natives 1,182]

I usually find brown hares in more open land, where a pointer is about the best type of dog to locate them, they take wide sweeps quartering the land using the wind as well as ground scent, they wont rush in, they let you know where it is, and they very quickly get good at finding anything you regularly hunt. Ive seen one or two decent terrier and bushing dog that learnt how to quickly find hares over bigger fields and fells, but they will usually flush it as soon as their legs can get them to it. A good lurcher will cotton on though.

 

Have you got any closer to finding a pup?

hi you all just wanted to ask something I have been reading about lurchers and hunting with them wanting to try it because I love the old ways of hunting and it would be kind of cool to think I was doing it the way my people did in the old country just wanted to ask on using dogs to dive out game to them what would you all say about the pointers for game that could put up a fight like fox coyote and wild cats I don't care about one that run it that what the lurchers are for just one to find it and let us know when to let the big dogs losee

Gwp/ drahthaar, gsp, weimaran pointers are all expected to handle teeth. Even m brittany is pretty gritty.
