New Bushing dog

[Dave C 63]

Picked up a new bushing dog off Chipper Smith at the week end, she is a 8 month old Cocker x Hound, she is very steady, walks at heel, comes to the whistle and hunts like a demon, a real credit to Chipper who has put a lot of time and effort into this young pup, to which i am very grateful that I was given first chance.

 

 

It also meant that I got to have an afternoon out with Chipper and his pack of Hounds, which I have heard so much about (wish i had my camera), I wasn’t disappointed and was very impressed with the level of control he had over the full pack, they hunted well together each knowing its own job within the pack and going into full cry while tracking and taking there prey in less than ideal conditions.

As well as the Hounds Chippers Lurcher Nell also marked perfectly and made the taking of fit rabbits bursting from cover onto fast ground look easy and I am sure she gets plenty of practise as nothing escapes the noses of Chippers little hounds.

 

Once again I would like to Thank Chipper for an excellent afternoons sport, some good crack and a great little bushing dog.

 

Cheers Chipper

I doubt its greyhound, more likely to be beagle?

I'm pleased you had a good time Dave C, now the crops are nearly all down we have some cracking places to hunt over, in fact just about every type of teraine there is, so I'm sure you will get another look out with us. I think that Fudge will make a cracking little worker and will suit you much better than me!! I wish you all the luck in the world with her dave C........ Regards Warren

chippers dog hound is Bud a teckel x basset, is that the father to yours?

[Guest whitser]

grand looking dog.

[Dave C 63]

Compo, she is a Basset/Beagle/Jack Russel x Cocker Spaniel, she is only about 14" or just under and works all cover, so no she is not related to bud but i must say he did impress me when i was out with Chipper and so did his daughter who is half Selym and also a tidy little hound.

 

Fudge flushed a rabbit second night i had her for Whippet Boys Lurcher Sandy and works well with the Terriers in cover, my lurcher is starting to follow her now as he has seen how good her nose is.

I am made up with how she has done this last week & carnt belive she is only 8 months old.

i was just guessing as i saw pics of his rabbit pack on another forum when we were talking about teckels. Did he breed her himself? i have seen pics of both Bud and his daughter....they both look like handy types

 

i am starting my own little rabbit pack, i have a cocker spaniel, a teckel x and am getting a teckel dog pup soon (from ruger8 on here) ............

 

Good luck with the new hound, what is she running with, how many terriers have you?

[Dave C 63]

Compo, i think Chipper did breed her and i think he sorted the field trial Cocker stud dog.

Just had her out today with Whippet boy, between us we have a Border, a Border Lakeland and 2 Lurchers, she is fitting in really well.

She flushed about 4 rabbits herself and has been keenly following the terriers into cover, she flushed a few sitters as well that she tracked while the terriers were only interested in working the hedges, i was a bit unsure about useing a non terrier as a bushing dog but she is deffenetly going to bring something different to our little rabbit pack.
