any lurchers with tracking blood

[stevemac 415]

I know a fella that was terrier man for an average mounted pack here in Aus. He road a 4x wheeler and carried his two small lurcher with him as well. when foxes were bolted and hounds were off he dropped his lurchers they would race past hounds and catch fox. He didn't have to do this two often before hounds realised they liked catching foxes and didnt need any help. He said they lost hounds a few times as they couldn't keep up with them. Some horses are slow like that. haha his lurchers are airedale/greyhounds x  patterdale

Ray my boss got two that he brings into work some times ,bred from a kennel in Norfolk and the women that breeds them had pups go to Africa to train to track poachers in the bush ,I wouldn't want one tracking me that's for sure ,my boss says his got a thing for finding deer in the woods and if he let them they be good at the job.

I mainly ferret and only had one one whippet with a 1/4 pointer in it,it was a pain for hunting off instead of waiting at warrens so gave him to a bloke for just mooching.It was a shame as the dog was a great retriever even diving into dams and creeks to catch some rabbits and only brought them to me if out with other hunters,but the hunting off thing made him useless for what I do.
