Bushing the River Bank

[Dave C 63]

I always like to hunt the river bank as you never know what those keen little bushing dogs will push out.

Nice cold winters afternoon with Whippet Boy and my young lad, we only had my 3 and WB's Border out due to age and bitches in season, but all dogs worked well.

Hello Sambo, she is a Cocker x Hound terrier bred by Warren of this site.

She is nearly a year and is doing very well, hits cover like a deamon.

Hello Swandog,

 

 

He is a Border Lakeland x Patterdale, he is nearly 2 and excellent in thick cover, i also have him pretty good with hand signals.

he is typical of this breeding, he lives to hunt.

Mackem, not as cold as the weekend before, we were up the Fell

 

 

 

 

We took 17 rabbits and was a great few hours, it was a good test for young Fudge as we only had 3 dogs up there (normally have 6 -9 dogs out) and i wanted to see how she handled all the scent.

But she kept her head and did very well, WB's Border did well as usual and Paddy loves this kind of ground it suits him to a tee.
