  1. Cheers. Mainly saluki collie grey with a splash of bull.
  2. Will be starting this one ferreting tomorrow. She’s had a walk out with the busher a few times but done nothing else. See how she goes!
  3. Will have a chat to you sometime about that Dave ?
  4. I’ve posted on another similar topic JCM. I have a spaniel terrier. He’s not first cross or anything. He’s a mixture or different spaniel types and a couple of different terrier types bred to each other over the years. He looks more like the patterdale side where as some of his litter mates look more like cockers. Bottom line is they are from good worker to worker. He’s not too fussed with feather but I think that’s because I haven’t pushed him that way. He loves rabbiting, ferreting and goes mad if there’s deer around. He would work 7 days a week if he could. The only down side for me is he d
  5. Cheers D. Wish there was a few foot packs down here to head out with.
  6. Not heard of that one mate. Will pop along at some point. Let me know when you are planning on going
  7. I went to the south devon meet at Haytor. Was a decent morning. The weather wasn’t the best so couldn’t see much when the hounds were on the moor.
  8. I use a spaniel terrier mate. He’s a great busher and loves ferreting. He don’t range that far though. Handy sometimes but when I’m in the hills I could definitely do with something that ranges out a bit. If I had a choice then I would go beagle x spaniel terrier type. Having said that I go on the hills with a lad who has 2 beddy whippets. They leave no stone unturned and cover some ground. They go in all sorts of cover. They opened my eyes. Get a young dog stock broke and then out with dogs that hunt the way you want. Most will pick it up. ?
  9. Anyone in the south west or within a couple of hours drive from the Exeter area go out with a decent bushing/bobbery type pack? Something I’m interested in and am looking at heading out with someone with a few decent dogs if possible. I’ve been getting out a bit with my busher but he could do with a few more bushers to work along side. Happy to drive if anyone’s offering. Cheers in advance.
  10. My old man is in the dog training world. He was big on GSD for ages. He’s had Dutch herders and Mali too. He really rates the Mali as a working dog. He says the same...they got to be kept busy.
  11. There’s not many decent GSD about now. We had them growing up. They were agile and fit as fiddles. Not as popular as they used to be
  12. For train ability I can see them suited to some people. Don’t know if I would go 1st cross though. Bit too heavy for me. Heard they were popular back in the day with some. Think I would rathe go for a Mali type cross.
  13. I’ve been saying for a while.......you need a busher!
  14. Nice one. Yeah I’ve found some decent patches for rabbits and the busher has put a fox out the other day. Rarely see much up there but great to have a walk out.
  15. The farmer I hang around with has a kelpie x border. Fast little thing and works cattle and sheep. If she sees a rabbit or fox when out she’s in all sorts of cover trying to find it. Something like that would be an ideal bushing partner.
  16. Don’t speak about poor Alf like that!! Didn’t realise you were looking at a collie. You got plenty of options of where to get one.
  17. Been getting my pup out a fair bit. Still lots of training, bushing and stock work. She will be ferreting the next couple of weeks and lamping in a couple of months. She’s collie grey saluki grey bull grey x collie bull grey. 9 months. 24TTS and shaping up nicely.
  18. Up above the valley mist early on Sunday morning.
  19. Don’t fall for it Keith. There are no open buries. Kev will have you crawling in the blackthorn setting nets before you know it! ?
  20. Collie bull grey x saluki collie bull grey.
