sils23 2 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 hi this might sound like a stupid question but as i know no one who bushes i thought i'd ask on here; is it possible to bush with just one dog? thanks in advance Quote Link to post
captain2010 2,806 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Well I nearly always bush with just the 1 terrier,and maybe one or 2 hounds bringing on a couple of pups also so the bushing is handy enough for them Quote Link to post

j1985 1,980 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 You need atleast one dog to go bushing lol Iv been using my two jacks lately and have seen more stuff than ever. Quote Link to post
Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 You can but just dont expect to catch as much Quote Link to post
buster gonads 862 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Using 1 dog tends to lead to the bunnys giving the dog the runaround, i,v heard of lads useing little packs of good terriers catching a dozen rabbits with no running dog involved but as WM says, better 1 good un than aload of shite. sils23, what are you thinking of useing , ATB, buster.

sils23 2 Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 ok thanks for the info guys. Buster at the moment I'm just gathering as much information as i can and haven't thought about breeds as i'll be away for a few months due to work (navy) so it wont be till January that I'll be looking for the dog. hope that makes sense? cheers Quote Link to post
buster gonads 862 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 If its just for bushing then i,d look into some of the Spanial X terriers that some of the lads on here use, ATB, buster. Quote Link to post
moonlighter 1,160 Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 If your only hunting patches of cover and dyke bottoms, then one dog is perfect. If your hunting woods of say a few acres then obviously one dogs will have it's hands full. Quote Link to post
