watchman 256 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 ok so maybe im after a beddy/grey to use for lamping and general mooching about,done a search on here and cant find anything about them and dont know anything about them either. only seen two in my time on the lamp and both were yappers which is slightly off putting but hey probably down to the owners ,right . so where do i start in getting the dog i want,like i said will mainly be used for lamping rabbits but nice to have something capable of retrieving fox as i do quite a bit of shooting as well. how much beddy do i want in the mix?do they generaly have good feet?what they like to train?,whos in the know for a decent dog man producing and working this type,and anything you can tell me about yours,good and bad with pics and sizes they made if possible and anything else i might need to know cheers Quote Link to post

lurchers 2,604 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 1stxs mate 21-23tts game as anything but mostly yap out of frustion because of the terrier blood in them not down to the owner.i held mine back until 12mth because of that but she still done it a little bit but if you have to go for a 3/4 bred mate so it wont yap extra speed.atb Quote Link to post
