  4. cheers mate, do you or have you worked one then ?, found myself a pup. just clueing myself up on this X really and fishing for info. do loads of mooching and live in a good spot. be mostly bramble patches and woodlands. You can,t go far wrong with the cross for working any cover but once they go to ground the first time you wont stop them.My brother had a big dog we had to dig to him all the time but ive never seen a better dog to find cubs to ground this time of year.Myself i went for russel x cocker x beagle but found they go like hounds on fox so ive just added terrier to them to

  7. Back a couple of weeks ago when it was cold i know of four fox,s that were found curled up dead under trees and hedges around where we live . I put this down to being such a hard winter and cold for so long but in the last two weeks my mates have been out with their terriers and pushed out two fox,s that couldn,t run.the reason for this i don,t know never herd of it before the fox,s looked in good nick they tell me .ATB taker.
  8. Having had a couple of both crosses i would have to say deerhound x the bull x dogs do there job you cant fault them i personally think the deerhound x does it better.Strike ,general fieldcraft for want of a better word they just seem to have that something about them. ATB taker.
  9. Had a beddy x wippet that only grew to 19 ins she was alright bushing and running in the day time.I found her to slow on the lamp when the rabbit gave her the turn she couldn,t catch up quick enougth.She was great on fox run on the lamp with another dog she would run just ouside the beam and turn um for other dog .ATB taker

  12. Hi rich..it happend to me in 1999 mate i lived in a semi cottage one of six in a lane lived there for nine years no probs.My lurchers used to howl early in the morning and early evening tried every thing to stop it my deerhound x would start the others would join in.Then we had a copper move in next door i fell out with him then the trouble started.He made so many complaints to the local council they put equipment in his house to test noise level.I was then told that if i didnt get rid of the lurchers they would start court proccedings i saw my mate whos a councilor he looked at the case and a

  14. Hi cooper.. theres not many crosses of lurchers i havent had mate had some good and some i wont even mention.Ive had bull x wippet .. bull x greyhounds ..collie x .like i say not many i havent had mate .
  15. This is the reason people cross wippet with greyhounds in oppinion to create a dog with the best of both breeds.This wippet x grey stood at 25 tts tall the next biggest dog out of litter stood 22tts my brother had him.The dog in the picture was nearly as fast as my pure greyhound and could turn as quick as my beddy wippet he was a prolific catch dog on hare and rabbit never had a dog to touch him since ATB taker

  20. David ive got a collie a big old boy the kids rescued it a few years ago to make it easier to exercise him we just let him go with the dogs.He started bushing and marking earths as you can see in the last photo he comes into his own when your hunting a wood he covers some ground.The photos not very good but you can make them out ATB taker.

Thanks shes about six yrs old and blind in one eye but she works hard and retrieve well marks and is steady around the warrens she likes a fox as well Ive got a couple of cocker x beagle x russels the same thing a bit head strong and quite fast but if theres anything about they will find it.So ive just mated the one with my beddy x russel hopefully this will steady them down and they still work like hell .ATB taker
  23. This bloke has hit the nail on the head in 2 lines, that is all any man should ask of there dog. Good statement Simoman, ATB. Luke. The main thing with a good bayer is you will have him for years . I lost my beddi x russel last feb at the age of thirteen the only reason i lost then is because he started to get hard.Over the years he had been in hundreds of earths around our area both sort of earths and just bay and hold.last feb my boy and mates got him to ground in a big place dug him out three days later he had killed a vixen and died his self good uns dont come around to often.
