Some decent advice there. I can handle the not coming back if it’s with other dogs. Unless there’s something better on offer then it’s always a battle you will probably lose! Once he’s back then give him a treat and a fuss. Try and avoid walking up to him. Sit tight and he should start looking around for you. I don’t like dogs jumping up so I work on this straight from the start. The kids have to enforce the same rules. My young bitch has never seen interested in other dogs and once she’s said hello is straight back to me. My saluki Lurcher is 5 and he kind of does his own thing ? but will co

Same here poxon. This is my view....maybe I’m being a bit bitter and twisted but I like my space when I’m out with the dogs. Now that the high streets, fast food chains, cinemas are all shut most lazy parents don’t know what to do with their kids. They are now bored at home and can’t just send their kids out so they are heading to the countryside. Most probably for their first time! Nothing wrong with that and I hope some continue. But, when they are leaving all their crap behind and not shutting gates etc it has a knock on for the land owner. Cases of sheep being attacked has risen....w

Spot on them. Be quick that’s for sure. ATB with them
-
Nice them. All the best with them
-
Nice pups and nice cross. How tall you reckon they will make. Any pics of the parents? ATB with finding them decent homes. ?
-
Like the look of these. Keep us updated
-
Good stuff. Heard of a lot of lads that have given dogs up and they turn into decent workers -
I would probably question and look at myself mate before I wrote the dog off. ?

I think there’s plenty of types that would do what you are asking. The dog with the white socks is a pup. She always has her nose down and moves quick on scent. Problem with the 2 beddy whippets is they will hunt and hunt. I prefer a dog to check in every now and then or at least be able to get eyes on them. The spaniel terrier in the picture doesn’t range out but is handy for tight cover and flushing to the lurchers. I’m no expert and there’s lads out there that have decent dogs for this type of work. I do a bit of everything so just happy with what I’ve got.

Anyone using one of these?

Totally agree with you there poxon. The beddy whippets I go out with are decent. They Bush well and will go in any cover. Think it’s how you bring them on but there’s plenty out there that won’t go in cover. If you just wanted an out and out busher then go for a more bushing type. Terrier x spaniel, beagle spaniel and so on. I wouldn’t be without a busher now. See much more than when I just had a lurcher. Like you say it’s a game changer. He will keep a handful of lurchers busy!

Must have dropped his wallet and gone back for it

Mate was interested in this litter but has done his homework and decided to give them a miss. Parents looked like good dogs and people were helpful enough......but. Think it’s the dams 3rd litter so that’s a fair bit of time out of ‘grafting’. Not saying they won’t do the job but I would always try get a pup off someone who is genuinely keeping one back for themselves and mates.

They 2 I go out with work any cover. One is a half cross and the other is her daughter who is 1/4 cross. They cover ground quickly and range out and don’t leave much unturned. They are used for on the hills as bushers more than lurcher type work. They will let a little yap out if they are on the tail of something in cover but when out ferreting or lamping they are quiet.
-
Never worked pure Bedlingtons. I go out with my mates beddy whippets. Great bushing dogs. We are out today and they were busy. Good at putting on the pressure and marking. Not scared of any cover and definitely not jackers. Just got to get them from the right line I reckon
-
That would be my next move. My spaniel terrier over a decent bushing type terrier

Always be weary of a boxer with a straight nose!

Nice one Igz. walks out over the summer and he will be good to go next season. ?
-
Only caught the back end of the season with my pup. She’s been mooching for a while and works pretty well with the busher. Started to range out with the older lurcher up the hills. Only had her out ferreting once but she did ok. Had 3 short nights on the lamp and she’s getting the hang of it. Will get plenty of walking in over the summer and get her going in September. Still young so no rush.

Cheers Ken. Might swap to it. Will shop around ?

£11 for 30kg on their sight. If washing your dogs off before them bedding down how long would a 30kg pack last do you reckon? How often do you lads change it or does it vary?
