As title really - I am looking for a Bushland Terrier (possibly 2!) - puppy to 2 years old. Does anyone know of any for sale in the south or anyone that breeds them? Happy to travel a reasonable distance.

First cross are particularly prone so inheriting problems from both breed lines there is no such thing as first cross vigour.
Of all the many purpose bred first cross lurchers which I've had and bred, over many years, I've never had one with any health issues or inherited problems. Perhaps I've just been lucky.

Quite brilliant. A Friesland Partridge Dog. Haha. Re the terrier, making a sweeping generalisation with that breeding, Google t.r.o.u.b.l.e and you should find out more .I once (deliberately) crossed lab with a pointer. The litter was, shall we say, 'variable'. I gave one to a friend and it turned out a useful pointer-retriever without the hard temperament of some of the Cointinental dogs (which are often bred to tackle wild boar, etc). They use the cross deliberatelyi in Ireland for that purpose, crossing a flushing or retrieving breed with either a pointer or a setter.
Anyway, knowing what snobs the British sporting fraternity are, I told him to say it was a rare example of a Friesland Partridge Dog and only a few had been imported. Quite soon, all his shooting pals were looking for another from the same breed.
If you want a fancy breed, go to your local dog rescue and save yourself some money. It costs nothing to invent a new name and tell a few white lies. Better for the dogs too.
But if you ever think of crossing a pointer with a setter, don't do it. You'll get an upsetter and a disappointer!
