Hiya all. I'm moving to Australia and would like to start ferreting as a hobby for myself and my dogs. I have a fox terrier and a stumpytail cattle dog, but no lurcher. The cattle dog especially is quick and full of running, but neither of them compares to a real running dog. Do other types of dogs ever have much success ferreting, or is a true running dog needed? Any other advice for a newbie is appreciated!
