To the bloke that started this topic i would listen to all the above comments,and i hope you take heed and dont consider this cross its a complete waste of time buy a bitch in from a decent bloodline buck,parkes,gould something on those lines and start something from there but please please dont breed your dog to it because its a loyal companion and a good house dog and sniffs at the entrance to a few rabbit holes,then sell these pups on as coming from 100% working stock and dilute an already diluted gene pool with dogs that simply are not up to the task there is enough folk out there already doing that,i wish you well in finding a bitch and hope you make the right choice.

My 9 year old has been coming with me for 1 or 2 years now, he really enjoys it and is full of questions and retains the information really well, he knows what to look for with runs and dropings and can name most animals we come across,its good for them to get out and enjoy the countryside and good exercise for them i would rather my lad was with me than sat on video games from the moment he gets back from school.

No worries pal ,it was good talking to you and glad ive found out how the bitch was bred i will defo stay in touch chris, i am 100 per cent impressed with her shes coming on a treat ticking all the right boxes so far shes been the best pup ive had to train and i am sure she will continue to do well .

Cant we all just get along lol

Why dont you post this on the terrier section forum mate, you will probs get a lot more feed back,i wouldnt have any other kind of breed there good solid reliable terriers pal, depends what you want it for i think there more suited to earth work to be fair.

I would agree if there had been current names dropped or current dogs names, or exact locations times dates etc but i see none in any of the replys on here i just see men disscusing a fieldsport topic which sadly has been banned like i said earlier i am not a die hard coursing man and have only had average dogs in this type of fieldsport in the past and i see no harm with me discussing it on here if truth be said if all that is legal in the eyes of the law were disscused on here it would just leave ferreting and ratting and shooting maybe and maybe draghunting so stop getting on your moral highhorses and dont read it if it bothers you
-
I am actualy starting to wonder whos side this chap is on, and this is infact a hunting site for folk to talk about hunting you may enjoy ferreting or ratting we all like abit, but some of us have other interests so why butt in a topic that you clearly dont want to talk about just to jump on the moral highground what are we exactly supposed to talk about on a hunting sight i am keen to hear what you have to say back to that ????
-
Yeah its illegal to do it but it most certainly is not illegal to talk about it, is it now there is no pictures on here and no present day names mentioned is there did you throw the towel in at the 1st mention of the ban pal, its 1 of the oldest traditional fieldsports in this country as is foxhunting so ill be dammed if i stop talking about it, we still have freedom of speech dont we if you dont like the topic why join in, we are all adults and can do as we please we are by no means breaking the law or bringing anything into disrapute thanks but no thanks for your input

Ive seen a good bitch some bloke i know quite well runs her and is doing well ,shes 2 and a half year old been going at it a few months now bred out off nuttals seagull stuff, and other decent dogs in her make up unsure of the rest so wouldnt like to say for sure but could find out easy enough. I dont know if shes on par with the likes of mac mcullochs Fred,or alwyn pughs Fly or the dark destroyer Lucky, but she is 1 of the best bitchs ive seen run for a year or two, but then again i am not a die hard coursing bloke ive only had average dogs myself as coursing is not my main stay in the field.
-
As they say its horses for courses, they both have there uses in different fields it all depends on the person and what they want from a dog. A terrier man is not going to choose a saluki/greyhound for his kind of work and a courseing man is not going to choose a heavy bull cross hybrid for his kind of work the same as most serious ferreting men are not gonna choose a huge deerhound/greyhound hybrid for there choice of work so i dont see either type of dog as a whole better than the other they both excel well at what they were bred to do in there type of field thats just my opinion any way lol
-
Lol i like it pal
-
Cheers pal nice to meet you
-
I am a liar lol ive never met you pal ive been meaning to get in touch with you as i do belive you bred the bitch and i have no idea who keg is ?? could you pass your number on to me so i can ring you as i am a little confused to your outburst thanks
-
Thanks pal nice to meet you,where would your old neck of the woods be nottinghamshire or northumbria ?

theres alot of crosses that would do this job fairly well to be honest i do know that if you intend to run hares regular a good sighthound portion in the make up would be good i wouldnt go for no less than 3/4 greyhound in the mix for a lurcher if hares are on the cards my friend has a 3/4greyhound 1/4 collie x 3/4 greyhound 1/4 saluki shes about 24" tts and she is a very handy bitch on rabbit and hare day and night and i am told other dogs from the same litter are doing well on rabbit and hare hope this helps good luck with future hunting

ive run this cross for 11 years now i started with a 5/8ths grey 3/8ths wheaten then crossed that bitch with a coursing grey. I kept a bitch back from that and put that bitch back to a 3/4 grey 1/4 bull. I then kept a bitch back from that, i then mated that bitch back to her uncle and kept a dog and bitch back both dogs ran well on everything and i worked the dog with terriers and and the bitch with ferret and both with hounds sadly some A hole decided they wanted the bitch and stole her ive now got another 3/8ths 5/8ths wheaten pup who if proves herself may go back to my dog or i may start again with another bull cross i think if you dont use the 1st cross to 1st cross variety which are very game dogs but slightly to heavy to be all rounders they make a superb all round lurcher i am open to critsism now lol
-
hello roger if it was me i would keep the dog on the slip and walk up a squatter if there is 20 rabbits out. Like you say when 1 runs all runs so your never gonna get more than 1 rabbit at a time when you lamp the field anyway but by walking up a squatter the rest will run the dog is still on the slip and the squatter should hopefully sit in tight by then the rest will of disappeared then run the dog on the squatter other than that drop a long net thats all i can think off pal

what to breed to
in Earthdogs & Working Terriers

How old is your friends bitch ?? And you could still get a young bitch pup now from a decent bloodline and breed it to your border/lakeland if she proves worthy in 2 or 3 years your dog will still be fine to put to stud then i still wouldnt bother will a stafford cross you may have seen some decent workers but ive not seen decent earth dogs with that much bull blood in them the bull/russells you saw they surley were not 1st cross and if they were they have thrown to the russell side,if you mated your dog to a stafford bitch you may end up with a pup that grows up to large to enter an earth.
