Yes......and the're bull crosses as mad as that sounds.......

 

they are fine with the ferrets, mark well...pick up bolters..

My best ferreting dog I had was a whippet x springer spaniel.

100% at marking, never touched the nets, but caught those that slipped the net.

What set her apart though was that she would mark layed up ferrets and 'paw' the ground directly over them, she was rarely wrong.

Sadly that was 25 + years ago and it's like a lot of things you only realise what you have got until they are gone.

This bitch was good in her day, excellent nose, great catch rate, tons of stamina, never needed nets with her, she caught most of what came out of the warrens. She is collie/greyhound about 23"
