Guest thebigdog Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 if its just for bushing and marking, id say give a terrier a miss and look for a well bred springer, no better dog for that job. Quote Link to post
Simoman 110 Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 As has been previously mentioned, for ratting and bushing i would go for a Plummer, i wouldn't choose one as an earth dog but the only Plummer i owned was a demon ratter and bushed like a minature hound...........

judge2010 196 Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 what breed would you say was best for ratting, marking and bushing. Not bothered about digging ability. Not sure choosing a breed is the best option. If you could get your hands on a failed digging terrier it would probably suit you because it will NOT go to ground. Busterdog has a fine kennel of dogs, If he or a guy like him is willing to give you the dog which will not suit him. Happy days. Better than putting the dog down. If it was agreeable to both of you, you could neuter the dog to prevent breeding from it. Best of luck in your search. Hi Thats a great point, More then happy to get the dog neutered.
