You've just got to love them ears!

To think that no bull has been added because they are pedigree is laughable. Nice whippets, but there's bull in there full stop....nothing against it just saying its there plain and simple.
-
I was thinking exactly the same.

Couple of his whippets around my end........nice dogs, somewhere along his line there has definitely been the addition of some bull blood, it stands out a mile in some of them, one near me does more dropping and stalking than a border collie. Slow for whippets and no more keener than your average pedigree whippet. Most whippets will work and work hard, not just mb's.

I've always used little jack russell's for bushing, just your average household jackrussells, my smallest one looks like a lap dog, but is an excellent bushing dog. All my jrt have been smooth coated, any reason why you want rough? I thought about getting a plummer for my next, but jrt have always done a great job for me. Or you could go down the cocker/ terrier route. Bushing with terriers works for me as they tend to yap when close to the rabbits which lets the lurcher know. I do think smaller terriers fly through the rabbit runs quicker, but a taller one would still do the job. I just have

Think there was a thread regarding 3/4 whippet 1/4 bulls on here the other day. This I think......... http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/288553-whippet-or-whippetxbull/

I think the most used line of working whippet at the minute has had a dose of bull in it without a doubt.

I've a real small jack russell bitch. Can't really fault her over the ten years I've had her. Very steady and also a great house dog, no trouble at all, takes two mins to clean when she's muddy, but most of all she loves to hunt, albeit at her own steady pace which suits me down to the ground. She's the ideal size to work tight brambles and just slips through the rabbit runs and yaps when on a scent which alerts the lurchers. She's caught all sorts, but most of all I can depend on her.

Where in Yorkshire? Sheffield......behind Towsure hillsborough.

It's just the turning that slows them down

Have you tried the colliecurs forum?

Nice, what's its breeding?

Hope you get them back, can't think what you must be going through.

If I was after something solely for pushing rabbits out to the lurchers I would go for a terrier or spaniel etc over a whippet x bedlington...not that they won't do it, they will, it's just some cover I work is really tight and terriers are excellent in this dense cover. Also most terriers will give tongue when close to a rabbit which some people like. Some people like the plummer terrier for bushing and ratting,,, i might consider one of these for my next bushing dog, but in all fairness i cant really fault my little jack russell. Are you going to the keep the dog in doors? Because if

I've always used jack Russell's, just your average pet Jack Russell. Good as anything else for the job, one I'm using now is ten years old, cracking little bitch, just looks like a lap dog, very small, excellent nose on her. Brilliant around the house. Has occasionally popped into a burrow, not very often though, but if this bothers you go down the small springer/ cocker route. Beagle and teckel crosses are popular at the moment. I'll post a pick if I get chance. The wife loves her, she lays on her back while she watches telly. Both good little dogs, one on the right is ten, one on the lef

My led torch does me these days.

Thanks for taking your time to do that.

Thanks WM, appreciate the advice.

Cheers wulf, the more I hear the more I'm tempted. Most dogs I've owned have made decent house dogs given enough work and exercise, how do you find the plummer with regards to this?

I've been lucky with the little jrt I have now. To look at she's more like an old lady's lap dog. No breeding as such behind her, but she's a cracking little dog. In fact she has caught the most out of all my dogs, I had to laugh this season just gone, I was sat down in some woods having a cup of tea when I heard her barking, I looked across to see all the dogs looking upwards at a pheasant perched on a branch overhanging a field above a stone wall. She was the only one with the initiative to climb the wall and take a flying leap off up to the branch. I couldn't believe she actually managed to

Thank you all for your views and pics (WM). They're a cracking looking terrier there's no doubting that, although I'm not too keen on the larger size ones. I may get one in a couple of years time so there's plenty of time to hopefully find good stock, and it would be a bitch which are probably harder to get hold of. I have contemplated terrier x spaniels etc, but need to look further into it. Also contemplated pure cockers and springers, seem great dogs just a bit full on...if that makes sense
