Dogs for jobs


Recommended Posts

I'm a big believer in using the right dog for the right job...

 

So at this time of year you need a Turkey herder....only one dog for it...

Itll head into any Bush we go past, lost her for 3 hours in a load of gorse..when I was out with my youngest girl,all I could see was the odd rabbit pop out as she was going through it... shes completely deaf as soon as shes in cover...but no way is she a worker at all mate, shes too small, a nice pet for the wife who tags along with us occasionally...

Sounds like it does enough to warrant joining the mooch mate and no pressure on dogs like that so if they do anything it’s a bonus if you have to take it out anyway lol

is it one of them miniature daschunds then?

Yes mate, shes a mini...like I say shes a character, but by no means a worker..I'd look a twat if I pretended she was Lol...

 

 

 

Apart from turkey herding obviously, shes a born Turkey herder...lol

I haven't yet, I was holding out for my mate to breed iff his terrier bitch, I've seen her work a fair bit and I like her... but he bred his f***ing lurcher instead and left me high and dry!! Lol

Thanks a lot for the offer mate, and I'd certainly be interested, yours are spaniel x terriers aren't they?

Personally from what I've seen they are great bushing dogs but not sharp enough around rhs holes for ferreting, a lot of ours is big thick hedges, my old terrier and the one my mate has catch more in the hedge top than the runners do bolted... 

Like I say I've only seen a couple bred your way, and I'm very impressed with them working cover, it's just that terrier sharpness I found a little lacking...

1 of them back to a full terrier would be right up my street I reckon..
