BLUCHER 1 Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Always favoured bedlington blood in my lurchers purely for their scenting abilities, never seen a better cross for this purpose. Good luck mate. Quote Link to post
dogs-n-natives 1,182 Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 My experience of bull crosses, they have exceptional noses, im running a half bred dog at the mo, and bye heck if he is sent away to find game.... he will find whats there, be it woods, forestry or big hill country... ive had him with me stalking on many occaisions, he has no bother whatsoever tracking a line to the deer, BUT.... he is a crap dog to have out stalking mate to be honest, he is too keen and would not be patient if he could see the deer himself, (ok for in a hide etc) also he has no interest to stay with or mark a dead deer, he would find it, have a sniff, then want to be away to find more!! In fact ive had to go home a couple of times to get a hound cross to find deer that he wont take me back to, which is fairly annoying lol. Saying that, i didnt bring mine up with stalking in mind, and perhaps you may have some success. Good luck to you DnN Quote Link to post
