I have a bed/grey x grew. 25 in. He is 10 now, good on rabbits & rats & a very easy dog to live with. Would definitely have another one. Good luck with your search.
-
Stunning looking bitch, I hope you find her the home she deserves.

the rescue centre's are full of lurchers & I think its better they have a home as a pet where they are well looked after than be with some of the idiots in this game who you wouldn't trust to look after a stick insect.

I had a bitch like this & she was brilliant on the lamp & ferretting & would pick up the odd hare but was never entered on fox. 24 tts & about 20 kilos. I would definitely have another.
-
my father always told me that before & during the war rabbits were either trapped, ferreted or netted & spaniel/lurchers were the only type of dog to have. Would love to find a decent working line!

17 day old muntjac vs 100 pound lurcher!!!

That lurcher is the spitting image of my old bitch Fudge, she was gsd x dh/gh, 30 in to the shoulder, 60 kilo & hated fox but soft as butter with lambs, pups & livestock. I would have another like her tomorrow. -
Very nice?
-
I had a gsdxdh/gh 30in to the shoulder & the best fox dog I have had, she was also a brilliant dog in the house & great with kids & all other dogs. I would have another tomorrow, I think finding one would be the problem!
-
Well done young man, a credit to you,a few more like you would give the lurcher world a brighter future?
-
Working Beddy pup at a very good price should be snapped up. Good luck finding him a good home!
-
That's the word?

The biggest problem in Devon is all the people who move here because they like the way of life & then they get here & want to change it. Most of them are tree hugging bunny lovers!

I live in north Devon & all types of hunting & fishing here. Mainly good farmers who support hunting. A stock broken dog is essential,i wouldn't want to live anywhere else!
-
If he was a border collie he was much larger than what you see now, about 24 ins tall & quite heavy build. Most farm collie's in north Devon were similar but back then most farms were mixed stock, cattle,sheep,pigs & poultry. These dogs would be expected to work what ever livestock you had. I suppose there wasn't the choice you get now as when you wanted a pup you would buy locally!
-
When I was growing up an old boy on a local farm had a large collie to work with cattle, he wasn't much good on rabbits but anything with teeth was never a problem. There must still be some old-fashioned collies around but finding them is a different matter!
-
I had a deer/greyxgsd hated fox, I now have a bed/greyxgrew great on rabbits & both were easy to live with & would-be my choice if I was starting out now!
-
Fair play to him & his family, a pity these other do gooders don't put there hands in there own pockets first.
-
Beddy/grey X grew. I only use mine ferreting & lamping rabbits but cant fault him. He is also a great family dog so cant ask for more really!
-
Beddy/greyxgrey/wpt. He is good at the job but could do with more coat. I used to have a col/grey/wpt bitch & she was probably my best ferreting companion, always seemed to be in the right place at the right time.
-
Very nice pups & the collie marked bitch would be my choice. Beautiful,well done,good breeding & good rearing always lead's to quality pups!
-
I shall be watching this with interest. I have always liked Buck & your dogs so this could be a very interesting liter.
-
Birds Buck over a dh/gh would do for me. Handle anything I would need.
-
Stock netting, 1 strand of barb 1 inch above the ground & 1 on top, posts every 6 ft & 1 strand of electric at 16inch high, that keeps even my big boar in!
-
I had a bed/greyxcollie/grey. She never killed rabbit or hare & always retrieved to hand but any thing else was killed before I got to her. I think all dogs are different but she was just a natural
-
Some great looking dogs on this thread, Birds Buck has always been a favourite & Malc 1 that 7 month old pup is some looker! If its sister grows into those ears she will be some dog. All the best with them & I look forward to hearing how they progress.
