Cheers Eggy depends what you want it for?my mates got 1,gd on game birds and rabbits but no gd for fox.....will also find that the dog works in cover rather than work outside the covers.whats the point having a running dog for that use ?

Guest Dillon Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 An excellent cross but not an allrounder as fof foxes absolute demons Quote Link to post
mick 7 Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 SURE I READ SOMEWHERE ,PART OF THERE WORKING TEST IN GERMANY IS THEY HAVE TO DISPATCH A FOX Quote Link to post
phil wright 2 Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 gwp crosses should take fox. they do like working cover and mine catch rabbits in thick cover alongside the terriers. having said that they aint stupid and will watch for rabbits being pushed out by terriers. i can still lamp with them and use them for ferreting etc so i think they are a very versatile cross Quote Link to post

Cheers Eggy when i was in bihop auckland i came across a chap whohad gwpxgreyhounds and on the whole he said there were no good for lamping,but as for working on a beating line he swore by them,and if a fox was put up then this was a area that this type of dog was good Quote Link to post
Guest Dillon Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 In saying that the ones I have seen are Grey/Sal x WHP, Drive, endless stamina, excellent hunters/markers foxes/deer no problem, IMO just a gear short. Cheers Dillon Quote Link to post
Foxgun Tom 75 Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Ask Kiwi about WHGP X, he used them in New Zealand as pig dogs Tom Quote Link to post
phil wright 2 Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 mine are bred as dillon describes and at times are too slow.i think a 3/4 bred would suit most better. Quote Link to post
