welcome to the world of hounds my friend. i'd say it can be the most rewarding and exciting way to hunt but be prepared for the fear and heart ache when you can't find a hound after a good day. hounds are very different to other breeds you have to work with them and it takes time to get a good level of control. hounds have been bred for hundreds of years to suit a particular terrain,style or quarry there are many varied breeds that might suite you like some of the smaller modern french hounds,welsh hounds or maybe even a teckel. i must admit i'm a little biased when it comes to b

Hilarious how you can only reply to a topic after I've moaned. I've only posted 65 times because I don't have the time to sit on THL all day writing about pretend hunting.

hillarious how someone who has only put 65 posts on in seven years puts a post on complaining about how nobody has replied, you never reply to anything!!! have you got absolutely nothing to add to anything?? apart from moaning that nobody has replied, obviously. Like Steve says, the first reply pretty much sums it up.

It's nice you got one reply Will84.. you ask a genuine question on THL and no one will bother replying. Next time you will have to ask a dumb question about what hounds are best suited to hunting a giraffe in the uk and you might get more response. I thought the hound lads would of gave you some good input but I was wrong.

Hello, I was driving out of Lincoln this afternoon around 13:15 on the A15 and there was a sandy coloured saluki type lurcher running down the middle of the dual carrigeway, a few cars had stoped and there was guy who managed to get in front of the dog trying to call it but the dog turned and ran back towards the stopped traffic, I got out my car to see if it would come to me but it just panicked more and ran through the central reservation into the on coming traffic!!! luckily enough this was all happening close to a roundabout so cars were starting to slow down, i couldn't stay and wach

I think Little Lurcher on this site has Greyxkerry type dog, Would be interesting to hear from any one who has Kerry Lurchers. Most of the Kerry blue terriers i have came across have all seemed to be a bit mad with other dogs...i still like them though!!!

How do you think your Wire would do with a fox?? I have a mustwork wire and i think he has the heart to get stuck in. Cheers Mart

Does any one have German wirehaired pointer lurchers?? My Gwp has alot of bottle when hunting and i think it would be interesting to see what would happen if he put up a fox. I'm thinking my Gwp and Beddyxgreyxwhippet should make a decent tag team in time

Gwp are first class hunting dogs, mine will hunt anything in all types of cover. Would be intersting to hear from people who have Gwp lurchers. Mart

With any luck he will stay quiet with him being in with my wire!! Thanks for your advice Higgins. Mart

it's best to let them live outside from an early age so they adapt to the outside temperatures,later on they can be brought in a few times,that way you have the choice knowing that it is used to be outside and accepts it without fuss,my terrier has the run of the garden at night as long as he has shelter and maybe some bedding to lie on he will be fine.I put this terrier on his own outside at 8 weeks and he is brought in a few hours when it suits me,but i put him out when i go to bed, Higgins. Good post Higgins,I was thinking about putting my Lurcher pup out with my wire and now h

He's 9 weeks now and his coats starting to turn harsher on his back. The grey bits on his chest are quite wiry already. It's looking like he's not going to be very coaty, I think he's going to have a short stiff coat. Maybe Lisa from 'mustwork' can clarify it more??

Really nice dog, Mickey!! How old is he in the pictures??
