I know that I struggle with these types, and would much rather prefer a dog that doesn't crave my constant attention... It doesn't help that i've always been allergic to dogs...!! Thankfully my wife and daughter deal with the household stuff, and she switches on to work, as soon as she's shown it. Quote Link to post

In 50 years of ratting she's the best i've ever seen, bar none...! As a busher she's decent enough, no Beagle cross, but she finds well, on all quarry. Gives tongue like a hound when she does, and puts so much gear out for my lurcher. She can kill a fox, go to ground, if the hole is big enough. Carry birds back as if they are made of glass, and is as loyal as I've ever known a dog... Maybe I should of bred from her, but though I simply don’t breed these days, she's so neurotic she's so difficult at home. True, I never had her as a puppy (9- 12 months old) I believe the pitbull/cocker mix gives a dog more 'needy' than either parent. And I was never going to put that on anyone, even if i've lost something 'special'... It's like Malenios stuck in a kennel with no stimulation. It really is for the specialist. And so i've let it go. I know I'll regret it... You did right Brother,.. I've done the same myself with certain animals,..

I've tried to find mine as much graft I I can, sometimes 4/5 days a week, and everything I've put her on she's smashed. Would of loved the chance at Muntjac on the lamp, but I ain't travelling to do them. Thought long and hard about breeding from her, even more since I wrote the first post on this thread, and....
