I know where your talking about mate been around that way myself !

Animals bought on in heavy cover etc ,do wel inforestry plantations,and learn how to run it running brain has a part to play and those types that knock there sells about are just has likely to do so in a field. On hedge sides there's commitment and then there's recklessness very different running woodland his a must for some some being in amongst woodland cover etc daily from around ten weeks old or even sooner it becomes a part of them. Much like a wild creature atb bunnys

To be fair it isn't so much the breeding as the size and build, but yes it would come down to what they could do in reality. I know they a heavy bull cross could still be used for ferreting, but I would rather a dog siimilar to these for the job, I don't think with deer you would have needed to raw power of a bull cross, if you look back in history dogs for edible game have never been thick set.

Ffs fellas, never mind these puny dogs that don't have any balls, get a 1/4 wheaten x 3/4 coarsing grey as the wheaten gas a natural instinct to attack animals like that hahaha

Mine have been brought up running through them it's how you bring them up !!

Bang on Bunnys, they need to start before they can run fast enough to hurt themselves.

IMO running and walking on very uneven ground helps build and harden the tendons and ligaments of feet too. Some say that tendons and ligaments won't grow and repair themselves but when a pup is still growing they MUST do or adult dogs would look very odd with puppy tendons.

Sometimes its inevitable/unavoidable especially where "their aren't any deer" unfortunately.
