Also high drive sounds good on paper but it can be nice to coax a dog in the right direction you want rather than one that wants to nuke every thing from moment it can walk.
The funniest thing I've ever read on here , propper made me laugh , ... Nuke everything , I know what you mean though

Lots of lurcher will hunt , some better than others depending on the cross ,some are better equipped for the task , the amount of effort put in to getting them out ,where your hunting , if there's very little to chase then the catch rate will be low and the learning curve very wide ,and being around other dogs knocking stuff out and catching will help bring a dog on in leaps and bounds but I believe a dog that wants to kill it's prey will be a lot more committed in cover than a dog just hunting , commitment to the task is all important from man and dog combined !!!

You said your lurcher bushers better. So bring this wonder lurcher that bushers better than a purpose bred busher
She,s dead , been buried about 5 years , have had other lurcher since nothing to compare to her hunting wise , she didn't bush she hunted , pin pointed and caught more stuff in cover than any I've seen would have another tomorrow ,there's a few off here that have seen her work , just stories now , a lot of dogs become legends after there gone ,but she was my bench mark dog ,only got my busher after losing my last lurcher he was a good all rounder but each time I lost a runner I'm losing a hunter/ bushe r also as their bought up hunting ,so jumped in and got a purpose bred busher and am more than happy with her so far she,s not the finished article yet long way off everything she,s done is off her own back she spent last season hunting on her own as had no dog to take out with her ,the penny is starting to drop now and she,s getting her back teeth into stuff ,she flattens cover hunts slightly more like a hound ,yet has recently started to air scent ,?? can run easily all day and has a perfect recall , can call her off when chasing or when she,s marking to ground very whistle trained think she will make a decent dog eventually but I still say , a good hunting not bushing lurcher is worth it's weight in good

I have a lurcher that will bush and will follow a line to for miles, but he ain’t nothing compared to my bushing dogs. I think it’s you who ain’t seen decent bushers. All my lurchers are bought hunting cover daily.
You need to get out more and not base your opinions on one old bitch it’s making you sound daft
How old are the bush ers your running ? Pick the best busher you've got , and i,le bring mine when she,s out of season , am very interested to see what I'm missing , I live in the Midlands also my bushe r is beagle/harrier xbeagle/spaniel not that old and had a slow start but knows her job , I doubt very much she will make me sound daft ! ! !

How many bush ers have you got ? My old lurcher bitch missed nothing at all , and would flatten cover , there's a massive difference between a dog hunting by scent and one hunting on instinct , a good lurcher bought up hunting cover ECT uses both and I doubt by your statement you've seen a good hunting lurcher ,

Fair play he sounds keen and I’m not doubting his passion at all. But what I’m trying to say is do you not think he’d have enjoyed himself a lot more over the years had it been on permission and he could enjoy the dogs working than worrying about someone turning up?
PS don’t get so heated, these forums are for discussion, that’s all✌
Not heated ,it's no skin off my nose either way , the thread said who do you admire , the old chap I know is passionate about t terriers committed to the cause and in it for the right reasons , very time served , respectful of quarry and the dogs and future sport ,no bullshit with drive to spare and fair play to him I say and any others like him

I’m not pulling your mate down at all, as we’ve all got to jump a fence now and then. BUT if he’s constantly poached, looking over his shoulder and getting away quick as possible then IMO he’s never really enjoyed himself, never really tested the dogs and won’t know what he’s got as he never seen other people’s dogs to use as a barometer against his own. When I might have poached in my youth, it’s a case of get the dog in, get a mark ASAP, and get the dog out and away. On permission, it’s drop the dog in, have a cuppa and whatever, check for a mark etc etc, give the dog time and IMO makes for a better terrier.
Find it hard to believe anyone can put a high level of effort in 30/40 years for no money and not have enjoyed it lol and he doesn't need to have seen other terrier work to compare too ,he,s digging his own dogs week , in week out , and as for giving the dog time he isn't digging blacks he,s digging a much much slower maturing terrier lol and has had some very good dogs as I said he,s not big headed but when you can get a conversation out of him it's easy to understand the passion he has for the terrier game and I believe give credit where it's due not try and put down someone I've never met on here who doesn't even know someone he dug with a handful of times is writing about him on here all this bitchin in the dog game , can see why he goes alone lol happy hunting

If you had of said he digs 3 days a week and every bit of it on permission that he has spent a lifetime getting so he doesn’t have to look over his shoulder I’d of agreed with you, any man can throw his leg over a fence and go where they like but only a few will actually put the leg work in and get the permission.
And any man can knock on a door to obtain permission ! I never wrote poaching/trespassing makes a better terrier man or that the chap I know of , was the best at it ,but you managed to crab him anyway that's foolish I'm 40 have a hard job with a big young family to keep and there are some Sunday mornings when it is easier to stay in bed and not sneaking around in the dark , ringing mates up to make sure there on route etc , maybe things in life are catching up with me or I've just lost some drive but one thing I know for sure is the stubborn old chap will probably be on his way back home from a dig while I'm contemplating ,should I have a lie in , that's why I admire him he,s still at it on his own permission or not at 60 ish

A life time gaining permission what a good read that would be best seller !! Knocking on a farm door isn't leg work , and I won't be bringing my son's up telling them about wich terrier man had the most permission slips in his glovebox

There's an old boy I know of , only been out with him a couple of times years ago , still at it he,a about 60 , bar none the most genuine yet stubborn terrier man I've ever met , digs on his own most weekends through the season (Friday ,sat,Sun )always respects his quarry (has a closed breeding /cubbing season ) out at first light back fills properly ,and never heard him brag once , the drive he shows easily puts most to shame and he,s put a lot of tackle away and the man has'nt got one square inch of permission and never has ,I won't put his name on here as he would moan like f#ck but there really are people that are what I think are The real deal , there are famous people with their own lines of workers that are flat out , fair play to them ,but to do this for 30_40 years on your own looking over your shoulder with no permission that's another story , and a lot of leg work mooching/checking earth s that doesn't really get a mention when talking digging dogs .
