The reason I ask is because we got a bitch about 8 Yeats ago now. 12 moths when bOught in off here, she used to be a f***ing nightmare doing exactly what jai said his whippet did and my father put it down to daytime. Sorted her out but when she had her pups at 6ish her daughter did exactly the same as her til it was sorted and again it was put down to ferreting but her sister doesn't do it
What a load of shite!!! Why cant bull crosses make good rabbit dogs then?? And your saying collie cross cant catch hares in daytime??
Aye they both can. . . . . but I think if I was going to be ferreting a few times a week, every week . . . . a half x bull/grey might not be my first choice, and if I was on the fens every week of the season . . . . I might not pick a half x collie/grey. Obviously you get dogs that just defy logic. . . . . . but there is a reason why some dogs are mostly selected for certain tasks . . . . . and to argue against that doesn't make sense. . . . . .
its just
that just reminded me, we found a lad walking down a land with a sheet on his back with his thumb out, picked him up and turns out he had been at a party, got off his head on shrooms and was now 20 miles away and 2 days later
Driving along a duel carriageway up taunton way there was a bloke stood on the side of a footbridge reanacting titanic. Rung old bill but don't know what ever happened.
Another night out exmouth way when we found a man laid on the road in a country lane about 2 miles from the nearest village. Bloke was face down and appeared not to be breathing, rung old bill who came out and prodded him with there baton's for abit but on arrival They words were ' fucksake its hector again' when they eventually woke him they had a 20 minute argument that it was his bit of road, it was where he lived and fu
Me and my old man have had this debate more times than I care to remember so thought I'd put it up.
He's always said to me that if you teach a dog to hunt during the day, not just scenting abit on a walk but actually hunt that it will hunt up on the lamp whereas I've always said then you ain't trained it properly. What's peoples own opinion?
for most tasks there shouldn't be more than one dog lose unless your just on about general mooching imo

for most tasks there shouldn't be more than one dog lose unless your just on about general mooching imowhat do you do walk about with your dogs on leads ? as I said unless mouching shouldn't be more than one dog lose.you Have 3 dogs running rabbits?
Yh that's a fair point johnny. Rabbiters with bullxs and daywalkers with colliexs sort of thing bit is that perhaps they're tryna make a name or just don't like the type of dog suited to there hunting?
That bitxh you had from don (is it lilly? Sorry forgot name) looks to be well suited to the mooching, bushing type stuff I've seen you post based on her shape and general stamp and breeding where as I think perhaps a bull/whippet (just an example before someone's mates cousin has one) may not be so suited for the same task
Edited: said son not don
but is it the word of your mates sisters second removed aunty tomo or someone you know would be straight and have similar standards to yaself?
Congrats on the little un as well
Thats something that has never crossed my mind before
I suppose that would be down to the man himself more than the dogs.If he's out once a fortnight with his pals can he be taking both dogs? Can they be getting any graft?
she ain't proven. She's done a season
