Question For All You Spaniel X Terrier Owners...

[krawnden 1,036]

There seem to be quite a few spaniel x terrier crosses about, with some cracking looking examples on here. I only remember seeing pictures of half crosses or three quarter spaniel quarter terrier. I've never seen any in the flesh and am interested to know more about them.

 

What do you think a three quarter bred offers that a full cocker doesn't?

 

Also, do any of you have three quarter terrier, quarter spaniel? If so, how do you rate them , and can you put up any pics?

A cross am looking in to for the future. So be very interested in finding out a little more about them myself..

[krawnden 1,036]

Joe, I can see the obvious differences between a half cross and a cocker. But from the photos and videos I've seen of three quarter spaniels they seem very much more like the spaniel. So I'm interested to know in what way they differ from a full spaniel. Also because my busher is three quarter terrier - and I'm very pleased with her - I'm also interested to hear comments from anybody with a three quarter terrier, quarter spaniel...

Been thinking about these x, for sometime myself, what about the beagle x terrier, do you think a spaniel x would be more biddable, not so independent ?

for a young bitch i am over the moon with her thats why i went that way again 3/4 bred

Iv found terrier blood can give that extra bit fire thats needed if they come across something that may be reluctant to break from cover.

Been watching the vids that you put on ,quality, just got to convince the mrs, then I'm looking proper,

[krawnden 1,036]

Thanks for the replies - all makes sense.

 

wi11ow - d'you prefer the three quarter breds to the half cross? In what way do they differ?

[wi11ow 2,657]

I've found the half x comes on slower and is a lot steadier but the 3/4 is up and running at a year old and for Ferreting they slow down the second season but there the ones I've had and when the 3/4 is to be bred from I would use a terrier

 

Don't need any more Spaniel in her but that just me

[Flacko 1,755]

My first cocker x is 1/2 cocker x beagle russel she's come on well marks bushes and gives voice this season coming hope she really gets going can't see any reason why not I think she'll get better and better Atb Flacko

[krawnden 1,036]

Thanks guys.

 

Joe - it sounds is if yours has maybe come on a lot younger than wi11ow's first cross bitch did? If he's only 8 months now and working well already...
