  1. Anyone work this cross. How do they work. Do you think many would speak. I currently work as kennelman and terrierman for a pack of hounds and was thinking of breeding a few of these in the next year or two when I finish up here and move home. Just looking for everyone's opinion. There would only be 2 or 3 lads out so don't really want full foxhounds. Would be doing small covers and running to the odd lurcher but the main purpose would hopefully hunt and mark. My mate has a super springer bitch that I can take a litter of so I can put whatever I want on her so what's best harrier, foxhound or Welsh

    You will have better chance using a barking springer in the breeding.for the hound side a good beagle or beagle harrier.i wouldnt use a mute springer if I could help it,if you want the pups barking well.

  2. Hi was just wondering if any one has this cross or knows of the cross was going to buy a bitch pup but not sure of this cross mother and father 100 percent on all quarry so was wondering if any one has any information or pics would be great thanks

    Never seen anything with beddy in it myself but heard poor reports,I have seen a good few with deerhound and all were cowardly half hearted culls.might do for a few rabbits but for foxes etc not a hope over here in Ireland anyway.

  3. After seeing a video on face book where lads were bolting foxes from round straw bales using Jagd Terriers it dawned on me I haven't done that in years.

    Does anyone do it now ?

    We never took it seriously and often ended a days digging by having a bit of craic by bolting one or two for a lurcher / gun or just to watch him run into the distance and thank God we never had a problem.

    I remember climbing upon to a stack six bales high one time and there was scat on top of it and after that I regularly used them to account for a few.

    The last few years round bales are rare but would love to hear of stories about them.

    One ol' hunting man I knew used to call them fox hotels.

    We put a fox into a farm shed stacked full of bales with harriers around 10 years ago,ran my terrier bitch who was hard and heard no more for a while.the grey box we had then didn't seem to work in the bales so we listened and one of the lads thought he heard something so we went down from the top,these were small square bales.the bitch had him caught at floor level and when we got down he was dead but she was fuked,which wasn't her normal form.

    The heat inside was savage and it was hard for us to draw breath never mind the terrier.the outcome that day was good but it could of easily been bad,the bales inside I think Wer mouldy and there was no air,I would prefer a dig through the ground any day.

  4. I normally try to keep 2,the ideal plan is one slowing down and one coming up.i do some lamping foxes not loads but main thing for me is hunting out covers by day for foxes.i like to test a dog with lots of work if I can,from age 2 on I try to see what they are really made of to see if they are worth breeding from.i also keep a few beagle crosses and the lads I hunt with do the same.we catch a fair few foxes every season by lurcher and digging but if you count other lads lurchers out then for me one lurcher is enough to have out to see what they are made of,giving a dog multiple foxes every week(if you are lucky)will soon tell you how good they are.

  5. Before even contemplating owning a bushing jukel it should be clearly understood that its far more difficult to restrict any dog from bushing than it is to own a useful bushing companion,any dog will bush and ratch about and plenty of them will do it to a decent enough standard.Terrain and intended quarry species should be the only consideration when searching for another kennel filler.If you wish to bush tight cover at pace go for a terrier based busher,if you intend to bush far more open countryside go for something that can cover vast areas better than the average terrier, source a Beagle or hound combination,if you wish to cover all your options source a Terrier/Beagle or a Beddy bred mongrel.

    Ok boy,but I am keeping dogs 35 years and have been round the block many times,so I have no interest in listening to your oul shite talk.keep your "advice" for the younger gullible lads.

    As i attempted to say and you clearly amplify its easy enough to own a busher and any nugget as the aptitude for at least one in 35 years,well done.

    As I said keep your shite for those who will listen,the only outlet for your kind is the Internet,in real life you would not be tolerated,so once again piss off.

    When we were a gun pack that cross was our choice. Gun club lads didn't want to be standing around waiting for Hounds to come back. They wanted sport. Beagles in fox out couple bangs on to next cover. They didn't seem to follow on more than a field or two after a missed fox so we ideal. Now we hunt for ourselves and bolt to lurchers I've brought in a bit of foxhound blood for marking so we get a bit of extra sport. But beagle x springer for me.

    Good springer beagle hard to beat in cover.good teagle hard to beat too but I had great luck with springer beagles.all of them hunted just a few were silent and a couple lazy to search but they won't all make it.
    your right there. We'd a couple of mute ones aswell. Break your heart they would. The teagles I try steer clear tbh. We'd a few over the years who went aground. Most of the time they were to big and got stuck. So we'd end up digging them out half way up a tube. The ones that didn't drop were worth keepn. Just my opinion
    Ya we had a very good teagle a few years ago,hunt away all day and you could dig her every time too,which was handy some days.ive a old springer beagle dog here will cold mark like a foxhound but he won't try go in he much too big anyway,he gets us a fair few that way every season.

  9. It doesnt say that at all, Thats your interpretation most lads went to a different school. You obviously dont understand Salukis so stick to your bullx,s you seem happy with them ATB

    Well bred bull hounds and wheaten hounds(the ones that make the grade) will try their guts out on their job,that is foxes,night and day and terriers.saluki dogs not in the same league,I never saw a saluki six foot down and upside down and never saw a bull hound knockin hares every day so no comparison

  10. There was a very sad case about 4 miles from my house a few years ago where a tourist visiting Newgrange was abducted and murdered.

    Her body was eventually found and what delayed the identification process was the damage done to her body by wild predators, in this part of the world that can only be rats, foxes and badgers. It was her voice box and dental records mostly destroyed.

     

    As for smelling up through the earth ? That was an old trick done years back to stop birds spreading poison. The poison was buried with meat and that night would be dug up.

    I've twice seen were dogs were buried and dug up and eaten by badgers.

    A great old terrier bitch l had died aged 15 and was buried around 2 foot deep behind the kennels at the side of a ditch,within a few days a fox dug her up,pretty much one of the only foxes that ever came in contact with her and lived to tell the tale.

  11. Most of ye seem happy to settle with what ye end up with,no mention of a dog not making the grade.ye seem to tailor yer expectations according to the ability of the dogs ye have.that is bollix.if ye had high standards and only kept dogs that met the standards you expect there would be a lot less shite around and there wouldn't be anybody trying to use a fukin ridgeback to hunt cover.thank god this website doesn't reflect real life because every retard with access to a computer seems to be here but thank god people like this would not be entertained in real life on a days hunting,probably why they live on here.

    I have dogs, I run dogs. You don't have dogs, you run your mouth. Facts are facts your a c**t man up and send me that pm I'm waiting for

    I've had dogs, I've ran dogs. You have plodders, you run the mouth even more so. Facts are you're a prick, man up and show me these plodders in all their slow glory.

    I've met your kind before,if you have no dog how the fcuk can you be entitled to give an opinion on someone else's dog.piss off you fool,I can just picture you sitting there in your smelly flat monitoring what goes on here.

    I know a lot of boys have them and rate them highly how many of you do and how do you find them , considering putting a beagle or beagle basset over my cocker cheers

    I have them and the ones I keep are good but I often reared a bad one as well,so I would say they are much the same as anything else.some great some useless,some average.breeding is everything as with all working dogs.if your spaniel in the cross barks it is a help because a fair few springer beagles have poor or no voice even if hunting well,but when you get a good one with the drive for cover and voice they are hard to beat,most are easier to control than pure hounds,have more of a brain and search cover better but would not hold a line cross country as well as a hound.they are ideal for hunting covers out for lurchers and shotguns but for a days pure hunting pure hounds hard to beat.

    What were the faults on the bad ones?

    Well just like any other poor yoke,no interest in hunting cover,searching,poor drive and general laziness and no drive.i would judge a dog on if you can take him out on his own for a day and will he/or she give you a days hunting,trying cover honestly and not relying on others to find,dogs like that can be hard to get,most dogs will follow a hunt,only the very good ones can do all the hard work,week in week out to give you a good day

    Looks tidy mate

     

    Yes she is a cracker just wish I had more time for her

    More time or more like her to flog at £250 a pop for mongerals and that is just what they are like it or not.Why dont you give it free to someone that will bush with it instead of making coin out of it,thats a ridiculas price for such a dog,over here we give them away free.
    250 is mad money for a pup but fools pay it,but a right good barking springer beagle seasoned dog would make 400 up here.
  16. block walls and perspex roofs,havent the spare change right now to insulate 4 kennells ,coats are cheaper.Heat lamps are the right job but I will stick coats on em for the moment...thanks everyone

     

    I've the sleeping area ceilings done with 2 inch thick aeroboard,when you open the doors to the sleeping areas you can feel the heat inside,walls are block on edge and box profile roof and the ceiling is the only insulation.the sheets 8x4 are very cheap at builders providers.
