Depends what your hunting ... how much speed and drive do you need for a ferreting dog ??? ......

Pre ban there would of been plenty of dogs that didn't have the correct attributes to tackle foxes they would jack and not fancy coming up close to them. If the dog was jacking on anything else its a complete shithouse, I have heard of collie x's that didn't jack but would try and pick and chose which rabbits they would run but I haven't seen this first hand.

I reckon there's a few dogs that would refuse to work certain things if taken out of there comfort zone. Seen loads of dogs back down from a good fallow or good winter fox. Even seen some dogs jack because of the Flint under there feet.if your out once a month lamping a few rabbits then you'd never find out what your dogs really got.

Just goes to show how easily gameness is lost when crossing Bulldogs with other breeds.

Just my opinion but people shouldnt always think its the greyhound that

produced the jacker.

God knows what Bull types are crossed with Greyhounds but you'll do well finding a game Greyhound that's for sure.

The only bulldogs/gamebirds and patterdales are game brigade will be along shortly so ye better edit the word to greyhound with courage or won't jack lol or there will be 10 pages about the definition of the word game ??

[DogFox123 1,379]

Depends how you guys interpret gameness, obviously they aren't game in the sense a Bulldog is.

 

Some have plenty of grit and fire but I wouldn't call them game no.

Well every greyhound I've owned certainly didn't lack gameness .......
