Wouldn’t be bred for lamping really , when ever this breed comes up people think about speaking on the lamp , there used for day time hunting a lot in wales , got family there few lads use them , yes Andrew edwards hunting the hill or on YouTube , there not your regular chilled lurchers to keep need a alot of walking and work to keep happy

If you thinking cover and not open moors , I’d going with a pointer x mate , much easy to live with and generally be around and those houndx can really go the distance if you don’t want to be chasing them for miles

I sent him up to an old boy that kept the fell hound X's,used to be on here,that perticular dog didn't range far enough for what I wanted at the time...the old lad used him for lamping and had no complaints

He was from a long line of working Welsh hounds

They’ve got to be brought on from pup and at the mountains 3/4 a week to be any good at that stuff from what I can gather , it’s really a specialist type of dog work
