Bit Of Both??

[Greyman 28,439]

Started working dogs in the early ,s I had two terriers to start with but found it a bit frustrating watching them get outrun by anything that got past the nets and never really liked working with people and guns so I got me a little runner, my terriers would go to ground against all quarry but also worked the hedges and undergrowth as well, and the runner learned to work to the terriers nailing most things as soon as they popped there heads out, I,m a bit old and knackered nowadays and don't dig any longer but I still have a 2&1 pack and walk for miles with them, the terriers working the cover and the lurcher nailing whatever they push out, I could not have one without the other, and for my style of mooching they go hand in hand, I think you need to choose which style of hunting you want to do, it's no use having a terrier if you only go lamping and it's no use having a runner if all you do is dig, but if you just like a nice walk out with the chances of catching a spot of dinner then a 2&1 is what you need

I think everyone takes the dog game to serious. what happen to getting out with a few dogs and haveing some good old fashioned fun .as long as you have time to give the dogs they don't have to work the dogs everyday just get out have a mooch and enjoy your self

It all depends on how much time youve got on youre hands, I thoroughly enjoy terrierwork as well as lurchers. But the lurchers are a better fit for me personally simply because you can call the shots more easily out on the lamp you dont have to be out all night if youve got to get up early for work etc. But if you go out with the terriers it can be 10 minutes or 10 hours. Ultimately you feed em and pick up the shit so its youre choice.
