johnrthrfrd 223 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Take my collie cross out every day with my 2 beddys for a good mooch about it's great to watch the 2 beddys in the undergrowth and the lurcher just waiting for what they flush not the most productive ways if your after. Numbers of rabbits but sometimes go home with a few hard worked for rabbits on the dogs behalf. If I take the lurcher by her self she seems to go into another mode and uses her nose a lot more to find what she's after never tried her on the lamp but her parents were first class and all her siblings have made the grade but for me a good day time mooch and a couple of bunnys in the bag will do.

Tyla 3,179 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I love a bit of bushing, we usually go every Sunday but over the last few months real life and a lack of rabbits has meant we've been out less. Nothing better than watching a pack that all know each other and work well together Quote Link to post

troter58 1,711 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 love a good mooch out with the dogs thats the best way to fetch a young dog on they get right in to the groove marking the cover and who knows what will come flying out had some great days out and i find it steadies the dogs up because they are learning all the time atb troter Quote Link to post
wirral countryman 2,110 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 My dogs bush everyday and if you put enough work in they do become a very proficient team,its very rare I come home empty handed and its not all about rabbits either,I'm bringing on 2 young terriers (17 wks) I bred in the summer at the moment and they are bushing and catching well already,we've always worked cover hard (40yrs) and some days the terriers catch more than the lurchers,good hunting,WM Quote Link to post

THLpatrick 555 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 As im only recently into hunting but always loved being out with the dogs, find that mooching is a great way to be out with the dogs, more relaxed and sociable, can knock something up and the dogs enjoy having a good sniff and rumage in the brambles without being worked to hard, i love going for a mooch personally but havent had enough time out on the lamp yet!
