    In my opinion , the best thing for fox is a rifle. Many of the younger element involved with running dogs seem to think fox fox fox. They are NOT hard to catch for almost any running dog, and I personally couldn't care less if any of the parents etc of any pup I was thinking of bringing on would take fox or not, edible game all the way.

    Why would you want that sort of breeding in a runner?,what one side of the breeding gives,the other side counteracts. Was thinking along the same lines. If you've got a deerhound x you don't need bull in it. And yes I've got a deerhound x and seen plenty of bull x's, which frankly I wouldn't give kennel space to. Deerhound x will do everything, and much more, than a bull x imo

    Lol you must be the same age as me. I agree about walking em up with a pup, get em as close as possible, you want em to catch, not have a frustrating time of things chasing something they've only got half a chance of catching

    Thanks again for the replies guys, given me more of an idea

    Lol @ pegleg, thanks for the replies lads, to be honest I'd prefer a cocker, it's just that I've heard they can be a bit hard going, and Ive not owned a spaniel before so am a bit out of my depth as regards training them

    Does anyone on here use welsh springers instead of english or cockers, and if so how do you rate them? Any positive info would be appreciated, as I've been thinking for a while about getting a spaniel to work alongside our lurcher bitch in the day and also a bit of shooting. Like the cockers but keep hearing that they can be a bit full on most of the time. Thanks

    What if say ye had a WHIPPET, and you thought the world of it, would you keep it in the house or kennel, given the FACT that it caught more than any of your 'well bred' and much thought about, as regarding feet etc, lurcher? kennel or house?

    Understand what you're saying, it's just that I personally feel alot easier when they're in the house are you talking about the security side of things,so the dogs don't get stolen?...........the simple fact is you get shite dogs in houses and kennels,and great dogs in houses and kennels True, and shite ones are just as often stolen as the good ones if they're always outside, and it's not nice having even a shite dog stolen well at least you know yours is safe in the hoose.....atb... True again, but if it was shit it wouldn't be in my house atb lol

    Not having a dig at whips or greys, I love em, and have seen and owned some that also ran over varying types of groundwithout a problem, just having a laugh with robwelsh at some of the absolute SHITE that gets written on here about em

    I suppose some dogs of any breeding will have feet which are not up to par, I haven't seen, or heard of too many collie bred types with bad feet though. Hope your next pup's a 'goodun'

    This pretty much sums it all up to me. There are loads of arguments for keeping them both inside and out but IMO they have no bearing on the ability of the dog. The kennelling vs house debate is purely down to practicality/logistics/cleanliness/number of dogs of each different household and what works for the owners Right with you there, and also the fact that if you live in an area that is fairly regularly patrolled by those of a wandering nature and 'scrappys', I think you'd be a bit uncomfortable with your dogs being kennelled full time

    Or whippet/greyhounds, the worst!
  14. shaaark
    Lol, nice bright little pup that. Is it a 1st x beddy/whippet?
  15. shaaark
    How is the dog you've got now bred? The one that's had feet injuries etc

    Having kennels comes in handy, but I personally wouldn't keep em kennelled full time, far too many thieving nerks around, and I also believe you do get a better bond, and enjoy the company of a dog around the house anyway
  18. shaaark
    You could look for a pup with deerhound blood as well as collie, very good feet
  19. shaaark
    Certainly looks a useful type, and one that's got me a bit interested

    That's a good looking dog, and I'm not really a bedlington x fan lol
  22. shaaark
    Didn't fence hopper off here have one from heartbreak's? Looked to be a very useful dog for most things, and I don't think his was a big dog
  23. shaaark
