type of dog


Recommended Posts

hi i am new to ferreting and i was looking to purchase a couple of young kits but could anyone tell me how much i would have to pay for a young ferret before i get ripped off.

i am 14 and i have 2 labradors which i use for pheasant shooting but can anyone give me any advise on what kind of dog would be suitable for me to train and take ferreting i know the labradors are now good so would i be better buying a lurcher?

I would of thought the Labs would of adapted to the ferreting job with little trouble.marking warrens guarding nets etc,probably not the best for catching bolted rabbits though.Not just lurchers are of use as ferreting dogs loads of people use terriers,spaniels etc.

Go for a lurcher, I'm more than happy with my bitza lurcher

as a ferreting companion, though he has only seen a few

months of work so far, I'm looking forward to next season

when he will be more mature.

 

Now the question is, what sort of lurcher :D

 

Mines bedlington X whippet to a collie X greyhound

what about beddy cross

If he has labs, which are easy to the train he may not get on with a beddy. and he can use a collie x's for beating or out shooting if trained right, as well as ferreting and lamping.
