Neal 1,929 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Apologies in advance as I've posted similar answers before: I work three pure kelpies as ferreting and bushing dogs and I catch more with them than I did with previous lurchers as the ground I work is small fields bordered by thick hedges and dense woodland. But then again, maybe my lurchers were just crap! Good luck with it, I'm sure it'll be fine. Quote Link to post
Keeps 403 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 I have used a full collie for ferreting in the past. She was steady, her nose was very good and she marked well. she is still a good little bushing dog. Quote Link to post
