Idiotic if you ask me but each to their own Some people just want to own the best, what they do with it is down to them mate. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its all basically trying to stack odds in your favour, if you are going to invest time, energy, miles and money in a dog (or a cow) for a job then you may as well give yourself the best chances. jmho Well yes I get the basics of breeding and all that lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rather have a mutt most of the time then a pure bred. Most people in this forum own mutts mate, but some of them are mutts with years of careful breeding, testing and genetic inheritance behind them. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel cain 45,810 Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 Some people will keep different dogs for different jobs...terriers for ground vermin,runners for edibles/vermin,bushers for flushing game...over here there's a saying...'a good all-rounder/lurcher,is every calibre of bullet you will ever need' should take fur,feather and Salmos basically do abit of everything...maybe if guns were as easily available like in the states it would be a different story..your fellow countrymen fall over themselves for pedigrees of our working dogs,they happy to pay whatever for another man's life's work because we still have the best...even with all the bollocks and the hunting act.. The other saying we have here is...guns are for failed dogmen 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Both can do the same job, but the AR will do what the catapult can’t and do it so much better and be more lethal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicepix 5,650 Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 I've successfully shot over and beat with border collies and a GSD. I herded sheep with a spaniel and cattle with the GSD. To some extent you can do anything with the right dog, but a good pedigree or blood line line will always stack the odds in your favour. Nothing guaranteed, nothing is in nature, but the genetic traits will swing the odds. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

forest of dean redneck 11,679 Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 I suppose really the certain strains of lurcher here would be comparable to the stag or coyote hounds over in the USA ? just trying to think of something that wolf dog could visualise in his head to get a understanding if you see what I mean ??

Dont think you cross anything to get a walker. A walker is a walker like a blue tick is a blue tick as far as I'm aware take two walkers and breed em Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE STIFFMEISTER 16,105 Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 How amazing would it be if a load of Uk lurcher lads batted around the USA in a legacy and forester Some melt up a baiting station eying in a whitetail in the sights of a his crossbow and two huge bull crosses come flying over the hill and clamp it …”that’s my dog that chore ! “ Netflix surely awaits such a treasure 1 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
