    Regular beagles should do the job, so long as someone involved is pretty fit and a good runner! I've no interest in getting into the kind of blaming and tribalism back up the thread, and as far as I'm concerned people are entirely free to do things in whatever style they want. Hunt rabbits on foot with a pack of staghounds if that's what floats your boat. But seriously though, personally, if I was hunting on foot (and I mean really hunting cross-country, not just doing that stuff with shotguns and lurchers) in fairly soft, open country, with roads and people in it, I would want to know t

    Seen a few that were decent. Hunted moors really well, found and killed fine... I own pure wirehair pointers. But for an out n out vermin muncher, bull cross are in my opinion, top of the tree. Their coat is sometimes too thin though, the ammount of days weve put one to ground, and my bull lurchers have had to sit about in the shittest weather, makes for a sorry sight lol until charlie bolted anyway! have you/would you use your pure wireheads on a greyhound? also do they do a good job of hunting/flushing fox themselves? always liked the look of them i know of 2 wirehead x greys

    But whats it going to catch the lurcher x pointer i have seen will catch, not saying you'd want to be doing 100 yard+ slips on massive stubbles, but it will catch. I thought we was talking about all round fox dogs which to me means they have to do it all so imo the ability to catch in all situations is the biggest must and again imo that means the dog needs to be at least half greyhound. wrong, we were specifically talking about rough coated lurcher x gundog crosses that are a bit heavy but hunt well and catch the odd one, keep up FFS

    yes evertything i have heard about them matches what you say. lurcher x GWP would be good, i know of one, heavy but good nose and tough, hardy type. bull cross X gwp sounds good, not as good as wheaten x GWP though .........................

    you don't want much then ? What he has said isnt asking the impossible. true, but its the exception rather than the rule IMO Its no exception.... just KEEN dogs, with a good nose, (and some brains) is all i must be mixing in the wrong circles!what cross has been your preference over the years. Good lurcher x good lurcher is what I prefer. I keepered mile after mile of hill ground, empty barren land, that if a keen lurcher wants to catch game, IT HAS TO USE ITS NOSE, otherwise it would see f**k all.

    Do they not get too hot and sweaty?? I know I have neoprene lined aigle boots and they sweat like hell. Also where did you get them at that price?? i don't find them too bad, but i am sat in a hedge with a lurcher most of the time. you can get brown ones £29.95 direct from macgaiters. the green are £32.50 from the Mole Hole

    Ands, Old Dog has been linebreeding cross bred hounds for many years - so yes there;s a uniformity about them now. Amazing when you think of all the breeds involved, He's adding more spaniel blood soon so they don't go more than 100 yards from him.

    you silly fu--ing man where do you think the rebel packs came from,its because of the quarreling between the hunt thats caused it ,masters shaging the field followers,huntsman shaging the masters ,non of which know what hounds are hunting ,most of the masters don't even know the hounds that's in kennels, thats where the rebel packs came from,the foot pack that this accident has happened to, has been going for over 40 years or even more,in that time there has been two huntsman,one man'd band,collecting fallen stock,skining ,keeping the hounds,arranging the meets,doinging a full time job and ris
