Ideal Rabbiting Terrier

[Walker21 4]

Those that have seen any of my post no I'm new ish to hunting with dogs so would like any advice ,I'm wondering witch terrier is best for me because at the moment the amount of rabbits I'm losing in the bushes when out with my whippet is a joke ,so in your mind witch breed is best suited for this line of work

Honestly mate most will bush. Ul hear jacks, plummers borders will all excel but u also will get bad ones and some blacks can bush every bit as good just like there's no guarantee none off the above won't just pop to ground whilst out. I'd maybe look towards the spaniel xs etc a few boys in the bushing section have bred some real tidy litters that would suit ur needs. If your new to hunting tho I'd strongly advice looking into how bushers operate, what the parents drive etc is like if ur new and take from head strong genes ul be in a spot off trouble if the pup follows the the genes rep. Check the litters in the bushing the guys seem gents don't be afraid to ask them there dogs styles and let them know the terrain u hunt. Atb

Yer to be fair the reason I posted on here is cause the lads I got out with on the rare occasion only have patterdales and they seem to think there the only ones for the job and I'm no terrier man so I thankful for the honest reply I'll take on bored what you have sed

Get a spaniel, never understood people usin terriers for bushing when a spaniel is a better dog for the job

The only problem I have with spaniels are I often bump into foxes ,which my whippet has taken a natural hatered to so would be better off with a terrier to give a helping hand when ever he grabs one ,I never go out for foxes bacause rabbits are my main game but there everywhere round where I'm from

I'd be looking at one of the specialist bushing crosses. Have a look in the Bushing Dogs section lads breeding and working some useful crosses in there

I'll give it a look mate cheers

I'm sure there are spaniels that can but surly it would be better to have a dog that's built to tackle foxes over one that's not ,I already have a dog that gets banged up when he gets hold of one don't need another lol

Have you considered a Stafford? Big enough so you won't really have to worry about it dropping to ground but small enough to get in amongst the bushes and it'd definitely be capable of backing up your runner.

Theres alot of good lads that have good bushing dogs on the bushing dog section BUT its what dogs suit you the style that does the job for you

 

Theres beagle xs spaniel xs and pure terriers they will all hunt rabbits BUT its what when you see them work you like every-man like different types

 

Try and get to see some work and your eyes wont lie ........................................... people will

I have a staffy at the moment that was good back in his day but he's pushing 8 now and his joints playing up ,so another staffy might well be on the cards

That's the thing I need to get out with other dogs because all I see work now are patterdales so I need to watch different breeds work

I'm don't mind the teckel to be fair it's just as long as I can get hold of true working lines

I can get them from Germany but obviously it's the cost isn't it . You can get a terrier at quarter the cost or less
