C.green 3,231 Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 I personally think if u not fussed about lamping youd be better off with good bushing terrier but in all honesty with the running dog scene the way it is terriers going to be in very high demand 1 Quote Link to post

Pixie (the black bitch) was bred out of a first x springer / pat with a whippet / Russel over her. Both dogs owned by a member on here who has been a friend for a long time, the dam was also bred by another past member off here who is also a friend. All the dogs in the make up have been very good and surprising dogs at what they were used for. These were bred and between me and my mate (Tyla) and his Mrs we have three pups and they have all made a similar stamp and type. I say she’s a Lurcher because technically she is, but I use her as a general knock about dog. My mate calls her the Swiss army dog she won’t drop in at all, but she will hunt cover like a deamon. She is quick enough to mug things around cover and has caught a few rabbits abs tree rats single, ambushed a fox and been involved in the demise of a lot lot more. She isn’t afraid to get stuck in to anything. She is also incredibly biddable and I can shout her off game. She comes beating and picking up on commercial shoots with me. But her thing general mooching and out new favourite sport rat lamping. We go lamping them around barns and on cover crops and regularly take 20-30 in a couple hours or so, some great runs. I will bred her eventually but not sure to what at the moment. On a side note I keep a line of bushing terriers also and will be hopefully breeding a litter in the summer. 3 Quote Link to post

She sounds like a dream mate , can remember when tyla put post on about the breeding as I’m sure i messaged him about the lining ,tobe homest everything you’ve just said is basically what I’m after ,the days of me searching for double figgers on rabbits on lamp are long gone , I’d rather spend the day with my lad chasing tree rats , shooting birds , bashing cover ,and trapping , and having a leggy terrier type Mongrel keeping us company along with the spaniel is what we are after , Quote Link to post

She’s just one of those dogs. Spent a couple of afternoons wandering about with a member off her with his catty and within short order she was scanning trees marking stuff and looking for stuff when he looked up or raised the catty. Just a handy all round mutt. The problem is I want another like her from her but what way do I go? Best thing I’ve come up with is 3/4 terrier 1/4 whippet. As an aside she is also the nicest natured dog you could ever ask for. Quote Link to post

C.green 3,231 Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 I dont think youd go far wrong with one of sheepchasers little bushing terriers there not as big or leggy as our stuff but do well. Quote Link to post

Was keeping it for my brother's boy,but he's to busy riding his CRF 1 Quote Link to post
fred90 3,265 Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 always think beddywhippet is the better option, that bit quicker than a terrier and fast enough on short runs. not saying they can get everywhere a terrier can but there's not much they can't get through. 1 Quote Link to post

I’ve been out with all the dogs mentioned above. Something I will be looking at in a couple of years for me and my lad for a bit of knocking about. Some form of bushing/mooching dog with a decent splash of whippet. The good thing about these that suites going out with a catty is they don’t scream their heads off when onto something. I’ve got a spaniel terrier who is great for bushing to Lurchers on the ground I run. For a mooch and catty he’s too much. Crashes through everything and barks his head off when right behind everything. You wouldn’t get too many shots in 2 Quote Link to post
