What breeds should I look at.

Terkel if you can find one the dos’nt give to much tongue. Hellish nose on them, go through any undergrowth. Can be trained to retrieve very versatile little dog

I think for general mooching about something with a bit of whippet/spaniel/terrier in would be ideal. Something that will hit cover and have a chance at a run or 2. Definitely a type I’ll be looking at in a couple of years. I can’t fault my spaniel terrier but it’s a bit thick and fast when he’s hunting and when he’s onto something his bark is a bit loud for sneaking about.  Bit of whippet in there to calm it down a bit! Something what Tyla has would be perfect.

My young kelpie bitch recently caught her first squirrel too. Hopefully it'll be the first of many.

Edited to add: she caught her second less than three hours after typing that. I'm very happy!

Two days before her catch we met a couple in my local wood with a dog which its owners said had caught, "too many squirrels to count." It looked like a scruffy version of an Ozzy pig dog (c. 19" tall, pricked ears, white with tan patches) and was a blend of Jack Russel, English bulldog and bull terrier. They told me there was no point in them trying to get a replacement as they couldn't guarantee anything turning out the same. There were two bitches in the same litter which looked like pure Russels.

Even though it's a dog I would never consider having wile ever I've got an hole in my arse my mate got a cockapoo for his wife and after taking it out has got it smashing cover and hunting like a goodun I think it's a breed no one would suspect you were up to no good mooching with a catty in your pocket and a dog like that.

One of the farms I lamp, the farmer got one for use on his rough shoot. It's gun shy lol but a hell of a guard dog.
