rabbitman1234567 21 Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 What would you say was the best small lurcher cross for taking fur and feathers in day and night Quote Link to post
NE_Monkey 159 Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 My hound has placed them into categories of, Fur = needs to be chased and squashed. Feather = unless its really close and I can be bothered then I might go 50%, and if its a pheasant I'm gonna pluck it. He's had duck, pheasant and a gull, but as he gets older He chooses his runs on feather unless its in close proximity. He's a lurcher to lurcher mostly grey with whippet, collie, deer and bull and a smidge of stubbornness. 1 Quote Link to post

I don't do a lot nowadays, but I do like to get my money's worth out of a jukel... It's fun to give everything a try... 6 Quote Link to post
