when hunting cover

[Mick C. 229]

Good topic I'm just gettin into lurcher hunting and was wondering about the bush dogs how do you stop them from hunting too far ahead of you ? I have a terrier and a Springer x the terrier is fine but the Springer x keeps hunting too far ahead of me .any advice sound advice welcome

 

 

prob better ask the gundog lads that one, as lurchers well mine will go in cover if there is (somthing) there. And i think the differnce is springer or terrier, will just go (looking) through cover for game if its there or not, thats why they get infront And most times i not far from the dog, and norm other lurchers will wait outside ready for the bolt, from Bryn my lurcher. He does great job and easy to keep up with not like a hot headed springer lol

An expirenced lurcher wont go smashing through cover at speed.

 

He will take is time and air scent every bit of likely cover.

 

A statue like torso with a tail thats goin ten to the dozen usually means game on

 

As you say is whole different hunting style .

 

Clever dogs lurchers

most times when out with other lads dogs, the other dogs let Bryn mark or go in cover, lol its quite strange really as the dogs, just do it with out being told.! Even my pup Buck just stands back like the other older dogs do, Bryn like a springer he marks+ goes in ,dont see many lurchers go in cover like him he marked these and got them .!

 

 

What kind of breeding are the two on the right? (the dogs)

 

 

gsd x greyhounds , brindle bitch line bred gsdxgrey, other 1x gsd x grey

 

Very nice dogs! Any more pics of those dogs? I like the idea of a GSD/ Malinois or Dutchy based dog a lot.
