obi2 241 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Anyone owned, seen working or heard anything about this type of cross? I was just having a think today out mooching that it would make quite a handy dog for flushing for the lurchers and gun. Quote Link to post

hedz31 1,308 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Why cross them i dont see the point what can a cross between the two achieve that a pure blood cant ??? ye would just end up with a cross bred that still wouldnt work well or to ground Quote Link to post

lurchers 2,998 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Anyone owned, seen working or heard anything about this type of cross? I was just having a think today out mooching that it would make quite a handy dog for flushing for the lurchers and gun. bedligtons or rothbury terriers of old all had border in them pal.. not the show sh.te you get now.. rothbury terriers were borders mate yrs ago.george newcombe had a border beddie yrs ago and looked like a border with beddie lugs but why cross breed when both pure breeds will do the same job,atb Quote Link to post
