Wanted - Bushing Pup

[Bosun11 537]

Down to one lurcher now and looking to bring in a decent bushing dog.

 

Idealy i'm looking for the type to work single, work close and able to rat (at least!)

 

On paper that type would be a spaniel to a hard bitten earth dog BUT any variation or additives that could do that would do the job. If its line bred, then proven parents are essential.

 

Lot of beagle blood in bushers at the min but although i know their capabilities, i'd rather not have a pup heavily saturated but i'm certainly not ruling out hound blood.

 

I'm a stickler for good blood and thats what i need in a pup.

 

If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated and there's no rush for the right type.

 

Thanks

Love spaniels mate but want it to do more, ratting is a must.

I've heard of springers drawing etc over the years but I think your right wanting one with a bit of something else in there it increases your chances of a harder mouth and temperament.

Why not look at a working line of beddy they will do cover and rats and are fairly easily trained ......

That has crossed my mind Ken but i do fancy a mixed breed, especially spaniel blood and see what i can get out of it.

I've got a first cross cocker/patterdale only 7 months so couldn't tell you how she will turn out exactly but she's starting to get stuck in to cover and work scent well now. Standing about 14/15" now so won't be long before she's too big to drop! Busy little dog around the place though she won't switch off... Ever!

If you want your busher to work in close i would forget a beddy in my experience of them they range a lot and hunt a line fields ahead, stick with spaniel or spaniel cross
