I know people who work them but mainly on wild boar,I put won over my Bedlington bitch last year to try to improve coat but she didn't catch.They are very gutsy beasts but are right b*****ds for fighting.By the way i live in France now where hunting is like it was in the uk about 100 years ago,foxes,badgers coypu;mountain cat,but your not allowed to use dogs to catch animals eg lurchers it's a shame cos I could lamp boar with a good Bull x I might get one any way just to give it a try.
