    I think the issue is I’ve seen lots of them, and whilst I’ve seen some good ones. Ive seen lots that personally wouldn’t be for me. Like I said it’s just musing for now.
  2. SheepChaser
    Lol. Good shout. A lot of non peds a bit big and sight hounds for my purpose maybe. I hate to say it but LM might be right. But i'm trying to avoid beddy x.

    PS Im sure some on here remember my whippet. Hard as nails and a massive character.
  4. SheepChaser
    I totally agree about whippets. Great dogs. I used to own one, which would be exactly the sort of thing I would be after. But sadly I wouldn't know where to find that type now, bred for the right reasons by the right kind of folk. What I was getting at, when starting the post, is I have ground I can take the pack, including a couple of big lurchers and its no drama, I also have ground where I couldnt take any lurcher really and I dont even go for the catches, and if there is one I hope its deep in cover! But theres also plenty of places where although a big bull x or coursing type is goi

    No. This is what I said - "Very few lurchers will smash through tight bramble rabbit runs like a good bushing terrier" That is all. I expect lurchers to work cover and not be shy of cover etc. But physics dictates they will be limited in some cover.
  6. SheepChaser
    You can kick it as much as you like but you ain’t wedging it down a rabbit run on a big big patch of bramble at the same speed as a terrier. And if you do, when the quart flushed, it’s gone!
  7. SheepChaser
    I personally think its horses for courses. Very few lurchers will smash through tight bramble rabbit runs like a good bushing terrier. And not many bushing terriers will catch the same stuff as a lurcher in the open once bolted.

    Cool. I’m 60 mins down the road, and my bushers know what munty smells like lol
  9. SheepChaser
    Don’t know but there’s some nice towns in the area. If you fancy a mooch one day I’d be game.
  10. SheepChaser
    It’s an hour from me. There’s a lot of gear. You’d have to be blind not to run into deer.
  11. SheepChaser
    I was thinking more a nice little low key runner to work alongside the bushers. Just musing really!
  12. SheepChaser
    Looks a smart mutt. I’m just thinking I do a lot of bushing and there are some places you’d just rather not take a 26/27 “ big runner as it draws a lot of attention.
  13. SheepChaser
    Looks a nice type ? Half x terrier type ?
  14. SheepChaser
    I don’t strictly agree. It’s dogs for jobs. But I’m interested in looking at some 21/22/23” little uns that are versatile little dogs if they exist?
  15. SheepChaser
    Does anyone keep any little low key runners which they knock about in the day, that punch above their weight? The kind of little dogs that surprise folk but look pretty under the radar. Under 23” kind of stuff, that’s capable of a bit more than a days ferreting.
  16. SheepChaser
    How many lb?
  17. SheepChaser
    Dogs yap for a few reasons - Over matched when young Frustrated / unfit Excited (the kind that give couple yaps on first slip of the night) Because they are noisy yappy ba***rds ?

    Hold her head up mate. Tighten up the slip so you’re lifting her head, lamp on the squatter, walk up on it, little his to get her looking, thinking something is going on. Soon as that rabbit moves she will see it and if it gets up too early just hold on to her and lamp it running, she will be doing cartwheels ?. Soon enough one will clamp till you’re close enough and when it gets up let her go and watch, she will sharp learn that the big white circle is where to look! Ps if ray was literally dropping buck on rabbits They would be flat as a pancake and hey, he’s got a bad back don’t you kn

    It’s either in you or it’s not. I genuinely doubt I’d still be here if at times I couldn’t go out with the dog and walk into the wind.
  22. SheepChaser
    Got to admit though - always going alone can be a a bit crappy
  23. SheepChaser
    A good lamping partner is worth their weight in gold, same as any good hunting partner. And they are very rare. I generally go alone or with folk I’ve known a long time and we all know how we work.
