brian c 59 Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Hi just want opinions on this breed how good are they? Do they retrieve birds and r they fast enough to kill a bolted rabbit with the terriers? Atb Quote Link to post
roybo 2,873 Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 depends on what terrier really but i had a patterdale x whippet , was quick enough for a bolter but if it got much further,than a few yards it was away. she would catch birds now and then. I think theres better dogs for it though Quote Link to post
