shaaark 11,355 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Fine maybe an all rounder is the wrong word to use, what about shorter dogs doing must tasks I think it all comes down to what each individual person likes in a dog, regardless of their main quarry, big or small. I like deerhounds, collies, geyhounds and whippets, so a lurcher that had these breeds in it would be my choice for all sorts of stuff. Whether it would be a 'top notch' allrounder wouldn't really bother me too much as long as it was pretty capable of most things. Another thing is that I've never really had any need for a ferreting dog, as I mainly lamped, so there again an allrounder wouldn't necessarily have to be a good ferreting dog for me, but when I did do a lot of lamping I had the need for a dog that would be capable of catching what got up in the beam, so it would've been an 'allround lamp dog.' Hope that makes sense lol Quote Link to post
