an old English sheepdog must be the best brushing dog ... Dulux have used them for years ......

Sounds like you need a bushing dog mate.

My beddy whippet never used to be that big a fan of cover she was ok. But not great. My present dog who is 26 inches is more inclined to hit the cover to be honest. But others on here there's are great in cover so bit of luck involved I guess. If I wanted one I would go the spaniel types just going by what I have seen on here

A terrier would be a risk around my area seeing as its the local holiday spot for badgers

Got a young cocker x patterdale bitch, she's mustard ! 9/10kg fits in the tightest of spots with a decent coat. works non stop until you put her back in the van!

You're probably best see a few types work mate. Where abouts are you? I will happily show you this bull X cocker of mine working. Be worth seeing a full spaniel aswel so you can get an idea of differences. I wouldn't have another terrier for bushing. They are bang on at the job but a liability when they start dropping to ground.

Just get a dog thats meant for bushing. All these other types i wouldnt bother with... stick with what works for others. Spaniel springer or cocker. Or a cocker patt. Springer patt ect. Sprocker russell the list goes on

If you are sett on getting a terrier I would try and bring it on with other bushing dogs I failed with a couple of terriers trying to get them to bush wile my lurchers were running about unlike my first spanial that just flew into working cover from a young age despite the distraction of the lurchers running about.

What other types wouldn't you bother with? Beagle spaniels? They are spoken highly of by the lads who've seen them graft.
