Pup has started to come out to do a but with the old mans workers and so far do good. Had a few trips over to my uncles farm which holds a decent number of rabbits. She is still a bit hyper at times and needs to slow a little, but last time out she flushed plenty from the small woodland sections on the farm. Caught 3 decent size rabbits with the old mans lurcher although one had my I sadly. Pup flushed 2 of the 3 which was pleasing working alongside some older borders who know the game. she also helped flush a fox and gave a clear mark when pushed to ground which is all that's required from her at this stage. Been a pleasure to own this pup and she is lively without beig a pain in the neck and also has a trainable nature. Fingers crossed she continues to progress well, really need a runner in truth as my old mans lurcher is past it's best. Hopefully the pics worked Cheers

Struggling with the old photo bucket mate but cheers will try and sort it. Pup is sporting Lucas terrier, grew up with Russell's but just liked the look of these dogs an they seemed to suit what I wanted from a dog so did a bit of research for a while as ended up with this bitch, 9 month now and seems a natural at the bushing game, has entered thick cover from day one really and is keen as you like without being a head case atb Matt

looks nice solid pup that mate ....what's the coat like thickness wise. Looks nice bit of ground to gett her going on aswell

In the flesh she is a dot at around 8 inches but solid enough and filling out all the time. In truth bull x her coat isn't the best thick enough but currently a little soft and nt as worry as I had hoped. She picks up a fair few scratches and cut in thick stuff but doesn't bother her to be fair. I think the coat is something that could definitely be improved in the breed and if I ever did breed her much further down the line I would be looking to improve it. Stripping it our is definitely helping to harden it up though atb Matt
