i would go for a 3/4 whippet 1/4 bull, still be fast+agile, and not to big.There as been a few litters on here. J.P of wales as good line of this x
And he chuck's them out quicker than nuttal!!!
:kiss: -
heres a similar pic of one of those on that link, nuttall gave it to me about 5 yr since, does anyone know how any offspring of one of his other dogs (buster) turned out like, i used him over a bitch i had and kept a bitch pup back but she didnt realy make the grade plus i got a dog pup of him also out of him but that didnt make the grade either, like in any other breed, im not slagging him in any way as im a fan of the nuttall stamp and think nuttall himself has done alot for the working terrier and is also a gent to meet and makes you welcome, just curious,
I had 2 litter sisters by buster nither evan showed a intrest in the job till they were 2year old then 1 started and worked well and the other was scared of dark i rec and teath, i took her back to brian and he gave me my money back.Fair play to nuttall he keeps his word.
Off course he would give you your money back that bitch is 2 years old and is ready to breed off to sell another litter.

I knew someone would do it
I’ve not seen the dog in person but I’ve seen a few Pics and he looks a small dog
They are all small things, not sure how they would manage a angry big dog fox charging them! dount think they would hold it!

10 months old enough to have a look behind a shovell, give it a min or so dount let it mix, despatch it let the dog see it, again dount let it rag it, take it away and give it the summer off. By oct it should be keen as mustard.

Have a look at this months or last moths edrd. theres a pic on D. Har write up. fairly sure!
-
Spot on mate, get some pics next time let us have a look how old is the plummer, i have never seen one work to ground, not having a go just no one i know has one

Well done pal, went out last nt as well farmer losing abit with this time of year about 12 so far, checked 4 places all well used nothing at home came to the last place dog in, dog settled after 10 min. Ran back to truck to get tools dug down 2 foot and my little plummer bitch and she had a good grip of it and it was going nowhere! coulnt belive it 1st red un i have dug to her. Had a look at it afterwards and she was barren probabily the one causing the damage!

Arent his breeding from mostly Middleton stuff going back a few years?

hi rob as pm i have this cross as well but the sire was a whippetxlurcher he's only about 23/24 but a very game dog good on the lamp/ferret/rats..the dobie bitch is mine she is on the small side but game like the other bloke said very game and not to slow on the straights but not to good on the bends but she will hunt/catch/retrive..and protect the bag...
from the way the pups are at mo they are great and coming on well..in cmw soon as ready to go and not silly money i think...
Gd to hear! He said that he had caught a fair few reds pre ban, would you think this would be achieveable? never seen a dob run!
-
Thanks for the info boys, thats all ive been thinking about since ive seen them last night. What i am going to do is to have another look at them next week and see if i can go for a scout out with him, good honest lad, and considering the age of the pups he had kept the mother in A1 condition. And more than anything he didnt care much about about the money and didnt want much for them, just a gd home, which is very rare these days. If i decide to take one i will give more than he wanted as its not cheap rearing a litter. The pups were top quality.

Hi all, went to see a litter of pups last nt bit dubious with the breading, but came away a little more than impresed. Nice well reared pups. Mother Doberman and father well tempered and and had obvious signs that they were doing a job. Mother quite racy for a dob 26"tts, he was honest enough that on rabbits she struggled a bit turning but on the red uns she was fine. I could see that she was well controled and he said that she had pleanty of guts and the father 24"tts was working everything fine. Was even offered to go out on the lamp but due to helping lambing i didnt have the time.
Just want to find out if anybody out there had a simular cross. I am seriously debating picking one up their coming to to 6wk old now.

Keeping the bloodline close is the best way of consistently throwing workers simple as that, when outcrossing to other blood you would make sure that that was 1/4 / 1/2 related.
You have just got to make sure that when your breeding so close your original dogs have no major faults. Other wise your doubling up on the bad points. With the bad mouth losing teeth quicker and one with a tidy mouth. Doest make a blind bit of differnece it its a hard type of dog and mixes a fair bit it will lose teeth.

Get an old singal barrel 410, dount waste two much money cos it will take a hammering digging, put a sling on it and its light enough to carry all day when carring other tools. mines a 26 inch barell and its length has never been a problem to do the job. It does the job brilliant!
-
I can see where your coming from with the bull x's, been out lamping with one its a 5/8 3/8 its brilliant on its own hard and nails anything. But if i owned it it would be pts its an absoloute liability digging wise and it would nail a terrier as good as look at it. seen another whippet 1/4 bull and that as well not so powerfull as the first dog but that also you got to be carefull digging wise. These are my only two experiences of the cross and probabily not good examples of the breed. Do these crosses lack the brains of the deerhound crosses?

Hello! just your opinions, I have works and kept terriers since i was 15 now 26 and i have decided its time for a lurcher. I have managed to train a few of my plummer crosses quite well, various commands, hand signals, working with ferret ect...
I am wondering that if i can get a fair bit of control on a terrier will a lurcher be generally easier to train? Also the cross that i am gearing towards would be deer/grey with a bit of whippet blood to get the size down a bit. How suitable would this cross be for a first lurcher and the work that i have planned for it? I intend to use the dog instead of a gun when out with the hounds hunting/ used as a terrier mans lurcher drawing/covering bolters and a bit of lamping/ odd day ratting with the ferrets? Some of the ground it will be run on is fairly hard going mid Wales mountains region. Winter time its fecking cold, how much more advantage/protection from the elements would a good deerhound coat give?
Sorry this is turning into an essay, all advice/ opinions good or bad will be appreciated
Thanks Rob

Got a black pup bred right about 8 months old at the moments took it out for a dig about 2-3 months ago, reddun bolted out of unseen hole, during all this the pup was doing his nut in, neva seen a hole before or charlie, but it was in him, once the dog showed and had no interest in going back in, i let the pup in for a look. Nothing wrong in that good experience for him and no harm could be done with him. I want the pup to turn out fairly hard and i wount risk it, so he wount see anything nasty untill hes nearly 2 years old. Breeding counts for every thing!
