Have I read that right? Expand She was rarely dug to yet worked 3 or 4 times a week,shifted a useful amount of fox,above and below and grafted to a decent standard for 8 seasons,she was also the most versatile of terriers and managed to become a competent ferreting companion,a ratting terrier of sublime ability,marked a tree and you could guarantee a squirrel was in residence,mullered the odd mink she found on our summer meanderings along the waterways,shifted more deer from their haunts than most and still managed to fit in time to knack the odd feral,she became hard gummed chewing hedgehogs-i hate dogs killing hedgehogs-would find feather like a well heeled pointer and i stopped working her on a certain moor overlooking Addingham because i was sick of her picking hares up off their seats,geez them big scutters could cast fur.Was she a better terrier below ground?,certainly not,was she a terrier that suited my working lifestyle better and with far more reward?Yes and thats why she topped anything the best of diggin dogs could ever give me. 1 Quote Link to post

Daniel cain 46,571 Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 Ive personally not used any terrier for bushing since my early teens... The digging and lamping bug got me..... I dont knock what others chose to use their's for. Everytime ive been out with other folk's bushers ive been quietly impressed and had some good sport. as i get older im starting to sway towards dogs that can do more than one thing..... Times are a changing and getting on top for certain pursuits, and i know that i need to adapt so as i can still get out doing abit. I used to live for killing shit in big numbers but its lost its sheen...... Variety is the spice of life as they say 2 Quote Link to post
morton 5,368 Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 I don,t like to kill much now,yet hate a jukel that cannot kill,id rather see them run away to be hunted again,the fecking mutts have an habit of ruining my sepia lensed hunting lifestyle,age as an habit of softening the hardest of hunting hearts. 2 Quote Link to post

Variety is the spice of life as they say Expand Daniel you say your starting to sway towards a terrier that can do more than one thing,it’s not the dog Daniel it’s the owners that limit the dogs,a fell terrier with the right training could do anything a bedlington could do,Morton says how his bedlington hunts hares field after field! Any terrier could do that cos it’s out of control,dogs like that are a nightmare as there always too far in front which is no good if you have a gun in your hands unless it’s a Kalashnikov or as beating dogs or to flush to lurchers as they have there own agendas.. 1 Quote Link to post

Daniel cain 46,571 Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 I have no plans to run after a yipping terrier for field after field lol,just that you can use one dog for multiple tasks so dont need a kennel full 1 Quote Link to post
EDDIE B 3,167 Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 My old fell bitch was predominantly a digging dog, but she also made a very good bird dog, would work fox in cover (both with collar on), and also an excellent ratter. Kept her well clear of rabbits for obvious reasons. She was easy handle too, and had a bit of brains about her. Quote Link to post
