bushing

[Guest Leveller]

It's all hard work Compo

 

The beagles aren't mine the bitch came to us to whelp and she had 5 dog pups they're all doing very well she'll go back to kennels soon and we're gonna run the pups on until Christmas then they'll go back to kennels and spend the rest of their lives hunting

dont want another one like that i like the sound of a bit of spaniel like.

 

 

a bit of hound is better than a bit of spaniel

 

Depends what you need from your bushing dog.....

I think people have very different needs from their bushing dogs, and to some, hounds like beagles are much too likely to feck off on a scent than a spaniel, and so completely useless for them.

 

If you want a dog to flush game from cover, but stay within, say, 40/50 yards or so, then a spaniel is the one. Most good spaniels will work ANY cover.

i have a few staffords who love working cover they are very quite though and what they find and smash it to pieces (eating the heads first rabbit fox etc)

yeah its right enough my bull terrier dog has a cracking nose but rabbits are a bag of mince when you get them from him.

my ones work any cover but do take damge from the brambles dont stop them though i am sure a lot of fur helps to stop the damage ? is that why a lot of terriers are rough coated?

No, the terrier was never developed with Bushing in mind mate, they were bred for earthwork and the rough coat helps them cope with harsh weather in bleak hill country.
