lucky 578 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 right my idea of an "allrounder" is a dog that is good on the lamp, running the beam and retrieving rabbits back to hand, a dog that will work with ferrets, mark and work around nets, this dog has to be able to take winter hares during the day, and all species of deer,o.k with the exception of red stags... the same dog must be able to work with terriers and dispatch foxes on its own, both on the lamp and daytime, take feather when the oppurtunity arises, be able to work on his own hunting up and finding quarry then despatch it, be 100% stock broken, 100% with people and other dogs..... now who can honestly say they own or have owned such a dog ???? i cant and if i did the dog would be wasted in my hands as 90% of the above is not my thing, but if there is or was such a dog, i'd say it would be worth its weight in gold and a real pleasure to own such an animal....

zigzag dan 784 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 if you stand by the ring at most game fairs you will hear of plenty of these type of dogs ! but seriously any dog ive had -preban - that took deer and fox i can honestly say i wouldnt trust 100% with stock or terriers - im sure plenty of lads have dogs that could be but ive always been unsure of mine Quote Link to post

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh but where would it be doing all these things??? You see.... for the next 2 months only a saluki will catch a hare on the fens, so does this dog have to do it there??? Or are we allowed to catch these mystical beasts on our own errr how do they put it... cabbage patch? I reckon there is no dog could do all that is listed consistently. Besides, who actually hunts that variety of game or who has the ground? Most dogs pick up their injuries on rabbits I feel so who would risk a good hare dog on all of the above? Quote Link to post
