Sure I heard someone on here mention they had one and said it was good... Found this youtube review, but it dosn't show you the beam https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OB8SLPgNwLo&autoplay=1

Tesco was the best price for me.

Nice one

Clulite clu briter...is that the hand held led that comes in blue or green? If so I've had one, I found the beam range quite good, but too narrow personally for me, seems well made. Handy little lamp though, although there are better led torches out there.

Had two dogs with this. Both jack russell terriers which can be prone to it. My first was only young and she had it pinned, never affected her work. My current bitch started with it at ten years of age. She'd do the usual hobble, but also her back leg would give way every now and again. The vet gave her tablets but there was no great improvement, he was considering operating, but I wanted to give her rest ( unless completely necessary I don't like to have them operated on when they're fairly old).... Anyway she had plenty of rest and she's much better, still hobbles occasionally, but no leg gi

How tall are your bushing terriers to the shoulder?......off to get my tape measure.....10 inch

Have you got a link for that please Conner? I wouldn't mind one meself.I can't get a link as I use the app, but it's sold by 'bgood2010' £7.99 for the torch. 5 modes and small, the larger non zoomable ones light up the whole field.And the battery charger are about £14 with 4 18650 batteries. Can't remember where I got mine just make sure it's a uk seller cos there's loads of fake shite from china edited to add- hold the switch down for 5seconds to keep it on the same mode Be careful with them batteries......if there cheap ones and it's a none too good charger it can be a deadly combination,

There lurchers to me...and not bushing dogs, more jack of all........if your lucky would make a poor bushing dog compared to a proper bushing type dog, not saying you wouldn't have dome good sport. Didn't you have a young jack russell not long back ........ Or was that someone else? If so how's it doing?

My little jack russell catches the most out of all my dogs.....she's small and slow. If I was to say which dog would be the most suited as a single bushing catch dog....a good old fashioned jack russell.... Not from hardcore earth stock though. Not without their faults though. I don't particularly class whirriers as bushing dogs.

Nice

That's exactly the type of jack Russell's I've worked....I call them lap dog jack Russell's........made for bushing

Just curious......when they still have terrier in the breeding do you find that they may still go to ground at all? Or do you use terriers in the breeding that aren't too driven in that direction. Also, when you breed say spaniel to terrier first cross does anyone favour any particular terrier breed or spaniel breed or do you just tend to go for a dog that's doing the job?

Are Bigger Heavier Whippets Better For Work????
wuyang replied to carp king's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
I'm a fan of small robust whippets....as they should be in my eyes. I'd be more bothered about the poor skin and coat that seems to be the norm with a lot working whippets these days. -
One of the breeds I've considered on and off over the years. Have you been on working bedlington forum?
-
Just curious how do plummers favour with regards to this.....personally I have never worked one.
-
Last thing I personally want is too much drive in my bushing dogs...drives me mad.....lovely looking bitch.

Muscle Injury Do They Fully Recover?
wuyang replied to dogmad riley's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
I was giving my 11 month old springer/ lurcher lots of good walks every day, on the only day I didn't take her out I came back and she was limping......I was clueless, checked pads felt legs etc, she showed no signs of pain. Anyway she's been back and forth to the vets for the last 5 weeks, advised it was her shoulder and advised total rest at first, eventually she started putting more weight on it....I was advised little walks and to build these up, little and often. She was given sort of the all clear last Saturday. I'm still working on her, she's been off the lead for 5 -10 minutes a few ti -
Could count my life times total on one hand

I used to work gorse quite often, but I tend to avoid these days due to two of my dogs having to have eye operations many moons ago, good sport though.

Thanks for that Neal. I read an interesting article regarding some sheep farmer who brought up a border collie and a kelpie at the same time and kept a blog on their progress comparing them. Looking foward to seeing some pics of yours he grows.
-
Neal.....how vocal do you find the breed at home. I've always liked the look of them, but this old lady in the woods used to take her sons kelpie and collie out with her spaniel, it was a stunning looking dog and racy with it too, but by christ it never stopped barking.....something I have to be mindful of with neighbours. I spoke to her son about the kelpie asking how it compared to his border collie as they did agility comps etc with them, he said the collie was brilliant, always waiting on commands, whereas the kelpie was more wanting to get on with it rather than waiting on his owners

Now they're feet.

Hi Mustelid, been doing great ( bloke said it was a greyhound, but in the real world a big smooth haired lurcher), very clever bitch and covers a lot of ground which I wanted, also does a lot of air scenting. Just been slowly bringing her along as a mooching dog. Unfortunately she's been lame on her front right, holding her paw up....stranglely on the only day I didn't get to take her out. Vet said its a shoulder injury, I've been resting her the last two weeks and now she's not showing any signs of limping, so just slow short walks at the moment, keeping my fingers crossed. The only other

Russboy, as Neal has said. On the lamp they used to catch the up and down the hedgerow rabbit and squatter. Quick to learn ferreting and almost some how knew to tip toe around catching most within yards of the net.....if not in most cases would escape. Both of mine were a pleasure to work, both having different strengths. The smaller bitch had what I would call good field craft and was a joy to watch work. She would work any cover and was very agile....also a very jealous bitch.....she would hunt for a scent regardless of how little scent was about. The male would lamp well and could l
