A good ferreting dog is a god send saves you time and does a lot of work for you.

As Robert Michem said it's not just about catching bolters it's also what they are trying to tell you, sometimes the lads with the dog don't see the signals, some dogs mark subtle some dig at the hole and make it obvious. I think any dog for ferreting should mark, and be respectful of nets and ferrets, the bonus' is dogs that really let you know whats going on underground once the ferrets are in. I love watching the dogs mooch and ferret thats when you see a dog working properly in my opinion, I love lamping but you do a lot of the work for the dog, when ferreting the dogs can do a lot of the work for you.

Took a lad ferretin who's a shooter ( got springers) couple of weeks ago he said he loved the way the dogs and ferrets worked together, if the dog goes to a hole and ferret comes out dog immediately backs away they allow each other space to work. There aint many things you can have 2 animals working in unison,
