I think they would/might be a better alternative to a collie in lurcher breeding, as they have been bred for hundreds of years as a dual purpose herder/hunter, but we are pretty entrenched in our thoughts on Lurchers, and "exotic" breeds are usualy greeted with skepticism and scorn !! LOL !!

 

Cheers.

 

Get one and breed it and we'll try em out ..

catahoulas dont hunt silent maybe look nice , ille stick to what i know works ,enough trash about without breeding more ,youle not beat the old staghounds or cold blooded greyhound cross saluks in the states , for catching jack rabbits and coyotes, ,as for dogs marking wouldnt realy go ferreting without a good marking cacthing dog , three way split ,dog ,ferret and man, very ancient but a good team ,all this easy to teach a dog ferreting etc sounds good , not that easy as you never see many for sale ,plenty failed coursing dogs, lamp dogs ,

[bunnys 1,236]

have to say I agree with bunnys, dogs will mark in different ways and if you,re in tune with the dog you,ll pick up on this, some are feckin obvious and others well more subtle

 

and I,ve seen the bitch in question, the best looking dug in whins kennels imo, certainly catches my eye

aye ya right there fella and has for marking i prefer thetype that marks the warren and then positions itself ready for the bolt , not the type trying to get to ground nuisance these types to the serious feriting man pulling nets they have to honour and be steady . atb bunnys.

[bunnys 1,236]

this my dog as you can see I do not have a clue,

and abelter he his very pleasing to the eye , working type bunnys.

I know that better than anyone on here mate, but it doesn`t change that fact that some folk on here are obsessed with him,

 

I stuck a pic up for a laugh with Border lad, big deal, then the Whin fan club join in and go on about it for 10 pages. They need to have a word with themeselves like!

On the subject of marking Dogs, the best i ever had was a Whippet x Beddy, she would mark a bury with a slight tilt of her head, then sit behind the bury waiting for the bolt, no noise making, a very quiet canny Bitch.

If there was no bolt, and the knocking box was brought out, she would move on, when finishing up at the bury, you would find her lying behind the next occupied bury in total silence.

this little Bitch put a lot of Rabbits in the bag, when anyone seeing her work they were well impressed, i would never have sold her, the only thing is when they pass away, they are seriously missed.

Thank you Rake aboot, truth will always prevail, NICE PHOTOS CP, with your travels, I had a load of photos when I lived in AFRICA, the small container that contained the photos and some interesting carvings and stones went missing, such is life,

had a we collie x that did the same she would catch the bolting rabbits and bring them to hand then if she lay down on top of the burrow there was more in it what a we dog as you say you miss then every dog has its own mark hate a dog digging at burrows for a mark and whin that dog in the pic looks the part
