Have a 3 year old fell terrier.  Great recall.  Loves bushing , very quick and has really opened my eyes to this type.  And it has crossed me and a friends thoughts of how hed go over a non ped whippet.  But I hear it's been tried and aren't what they should be

Has anyone ever seen a Airedale blooded lurcher??

Always had a soft spot for Airedale’s. Had a Airedale/Irish terrier as a lad, was a propa handy ferreting companion , brilliant nose , would retrieve feather , steady enough to be in the beating line on a shoot day.  Don’t get me wrong he was no super dog or out, just really handy to have about for just about anything u were doing , a propa tryer an hard as nails.  

Often thought I would of loved to of had him over a greyhound  or lurcher, think he would of added a lot. My farther picked him up from a rescue an they had neutered him sadly. 

Just noticed few folk mentioning finding a leggy pat or russel and it just made me think wat about an airedale, tallest of them all.  an would offer that  terrier drive an attitude you would want. 

But I spose finding a working Airedale or Irish terrier would be easier said than done

Clearly a good lamping dog that will provide good hauls of freshly caught rabbits must undoubtedly be thoroughly clever but more importantly it must be mute in order to  be a lamping mans four legged companion!!! A running dog which gives tounge is not worth having to be perfectly honest and truthful .Those that do open up are best left for day work with ferreting and webs they can then be used to bay at the entrance hole of rabbits Warren's. So all is not lost so to speak. With all probability I am of the opinion from a personal perspective believe that anything that is particularly frustrated whenever it is unable to keep up with its chosen quarry is undoubtedly  going to open up this i believe is more likely to be inherited from  hounds or terrier 

What THE f**k ARE YOU GIBBERING ABOUT?!!

Let's not go down that route....an accidental mating that produced nothing.

Cheers.

I was on skycats case for a few years when she was toying with idea of lining her butch agajn, either to a full Airedale or a lurcher, I missed out on the litter she bred an them lurchers turned out very nice an handy, pal of mine went down an spent some time with her an proper fell in love with the Airedale crosses she had at time, shame she never bred again as of a bit her hand off for a pup an paid what ever it went where ever for one 

She admitted it was an accidental mating with her airdale and Saluki coursing dog. If I remember rightly, she described the airdaile as running like a tin soldier walked........

Cheers.

There used to be a very fair lady on here, who was a big Airedale fan. I may remember wrong but I believe the best blood (hunting) is in the States
