Bushing Bulls

[fatlad 250]

when I was with my ex I used to take her staff ferreting and just mooching had allsorts with him

had a excellent nose on him, he would go threw the thickest of brambles but only if he got a

scent of something he wouldn't just charge around crashing threw stuff for the sake of it

I got a American bulldog here he's nearly nine now he works cover markes holes and I've seen him full speed throu fields and woods nose to the ground he can use he's nose they can be excellent bushing dogs and as was already said whatever they catch it's game over very quickly

Mines the same, smashes through any cover after picking up a scent! He will try go to ground or dog out any hole he can't get down if something's at home.

 

What Tracy said was pure rubbish!!

Put the time in one on one first mate it will be better in the long run. Take it out with the pack once it's got the basics or you'll end up with a dog the fuucks off on it's own accord on a mission to seek & destroy :laugh:

this plummer has a little bull in its makeup. and has nose and drive. she has worked with a couple of bulls. (staffs) they did have reasonable noses but it depends on what you are comparing them too. the prime requisite of a bushing dog for me is nose. drive is good but without a really good nose its limited. but with plenty of both you have a handy beast.

My pure dog that had what I would call a good nose. He was very useful at finding and putting up foxes. He was in his dotage in this pic mind.

Agree with Stabs My Staff would hunt out anything she could using here nose. For example Dogfox and me were on a wander about, open field no cover save for a pile of branches and cut back in the middle ready to be fired. The staff headed straight for it from over 200meters away and flushed out the only feckin rabbit for miles :laugh:

CS, do plummers follow a line like a lot of JRs do (the ones I've seen working) or are they capable of air scenting? (to some standard)

Do they travel/work any further or closer from the handler compared to other terriers?

cheers westy definatly had some of them moments lol!

the bitch in the pic air scents bossie. and stays and works close most of the time. but on a hot scent she will be off .can be a nightmare at times. as she can cover the ground quickly. its funny to watch her air scenting as she is close to the ground and as the scent rises she spends most of her time stretching her neck or on two legs lol.

 

my other two tend to work nose to ground and are a little easier to control. i cant speak for plummers just the ones i have.

I know some lads on here run staffs, but is there anyone running american bull dogs on here, and if so what are they like?

To put it bluntly SHIT well 90 percent are, much easier to go with something more conventional

Haha I'd agree as most over here are proper shite but mine is good at bushing/pushing out cover!! Gotta remember if your getting one from hunting lines which 90% over are not then they have a lot of hound blood in their make up. Mine has great nose, insane drive and will follow terriers through rabbit runs in bramble lol comes out bleeding from all over the daft twat....just gotta watch out for horses lol
