Best All Rounder

Genuine question . . .

 

Has anyone actually had a sal/bul/grey that was a 'proper' fox dog and also coursed hares to a high standard regularly?

Ive seen a couple that did well on fox and long gallops,litter mates to these dogs were useless at both.

So do you lads think its a case of different dogs for different jobs?

The problem with [BANNED TEXT] we all call a good all rounder is that they are never amazing a 1 job so when we go out with our mate on rabbit who all have rabbiting dogs we don't catch as many, and the same with the other jobs that lurchers used to have pre ban, I don't mind this but I have s dog for the quarry I run and I think it works out for the best it's not s bad thing having a couple of lurchers anyway if ur gonna have 1 u mayawswell have 3

Couldn't agree more. Have you got a dog of this breeding mate?

But then they don't get the work and don't make as good as if they were the only dog.

 

I know lads, who pre ban would have a fox dog, a rabbit dog, a hare dog etc. But how much time would you need to graft these dogs?

 

I would rather one dog about 24"-26" with brains, stamina, good feet and coat, nice long back, racey but strong with it. Capable of excelling at most tasks. And graft it hard. Put all of your time into it.

 

The all rounder is not some mythical creature.

 

They are out there and there is one thing they all have in common. Time. They are worked day in day out doing different tasks

Yes that's very true

As long as the height and build and staminer and speed and brains and a dog that can turn and has got several gears then that's a f***ing good dog so ill put my name on a pup when I find one that's got all the above

I wouldn't want or keep a dog lacking any of those things.

Yeah she has all the necessary qualities you mention, apart from her being too tall so she can't get down to pick up rabbits and therefore isn't agile enough! lol, how's your pup doing?
