gunter 436 Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 The farm I used to be on he worked both the beardie seemed more upfront and on it at it type more stubborn sort of worked for itself I'd say more hardy real weird with strangers the borders were friendly and just done what was asked seemed they worked for you lurcher wise only seen one beardie type Hancock and it wasn't to hot could lift rabbits well enough but that was it borders x had few but nothing stuck around Quote Link to post
Leo Sayer 3,238 Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 There used to be a fella called Marc H Glenn who used write in EDRD who lived up Scotland. He had a pure beardie he worked then bred some half crosses to a greyhound. I watched it work once up Scotland, it was only a very young dog. But very steady and superbly trained and a credit to the fella. Quote Link to post

Best all round dog I've seen was out of him and do decent numbers regularly I once owned a brother of Enoch. Lovely dog. Could go all day, amazing feet and coat, lovely character. His two downsides were that he didn't like some men and his coat took ages to dry; apart from that I'd say he was one of the nicest dogs I've ever owned. 2 Quote Link to post

Yes 1 of the best dogs I've ever seen was outta him took lots of fox single handed. Enoch threw a quality stamp of a dog all good feet coat most I've seen looked same stamp the 4 or so I've seen all good on the fox think a chap off here would have seen the dog I'm on about work aswel if its same chap Quote Link to post

When you say he didn't like some men was he just wary of them or trying to get to them for a nibble? The one I had was a decent guard round the house but normally ok out in public but he wouldn't let you touch him if I wasn't there. We passed one bloke in the road while I was running him along the bike and the mutt was desperate to get him and was still pulling to get back to him half way down the road so god knows what triggered him but he wanted to bite that bloke. I wonder if he had been on my property while we were out and the dog remembered him or something Quote Link to post
Neal 1,888 Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 To cut a very long story short(er): he was fine when I owned him (even though I bought him as an adult from an English lecturer at Cambridge University) but I had to rehome him myself when my ex-girlfriend and I split up as her family owned the cottage I was living in. To add insult to injury, they bought him off me! After that he became quite aggressive towards some males. Particularly the fish man who delivered every friday leading to him being locked up in the nursery whenever he visited. Apparently, one day, the fish man went upstairs to use the loo and someone let the dog out. He rushed upstairs and grabbed the poor bloke by his trousers mid-pee! 3 Quote Link to post
gnipper 6,626 Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 I used to have a nocturnal mooch with the air rifle and take the dog with me and where sometimes I'd be a bit wary of some bugger appearing in the dark it didn't worry me when I had the big brindle bellend with me because he would have nailed them. 2 1 Quote Link to post
