C.green 3,229 Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 If your talking small runners would a leggy terrier not be just as good and should still rip bramble as opposed to getting where it can ? 1 Quote Link to post
SheepChaser 8,083 Posted October 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 I was thinking more a nice little low key runner to work alongside the bushers. Just musing really! Quote Link to post

Its horses for courses in my opinion, my jrtxwhip could do most things a lurcher could and could get into most cover if the quarry was there. He wasn't a bushing dog by any means but complimented a bushing team. He was only 21 tts and didn't draw attention like a bigger running dog. He is 13 now and will still try but I try and let him have a peaceful retirement as its not fair on him getting injured at the age he is. Hes sired the pup you've seen of Jai's, if they turn out well I would like to attempt to recreate him by putting a whippet dog over one of the bitch pups. Quote Link to post

What im saying is though mate if your going somewhere you dont want to attract attention would the leggy terriers bred with bushing in mind not be just as good if not better as theyll still rip bramble catch odd stuff when they can ect ?

Might well be but I think you'd catch more with a whippet x. You wouldn't bush as much out with one but a couple of bushers and something small and fast like I'm talking about is a wicked combination. I have a pat springer, who is as quick as most leggy terriers I should think, but she only really catches in cover, in the open she just doesn't have the pace. I've bred a litter from the two dogs for exactly that reason. Whether they turn out as i hope still remains to be seen but im hoping ..... 1 Quote Link to post
