Its ok if you dont mind the smell of cloves...

We have insurance for our lurcher through directline. The excess is 90 quid. Tested it out not long ago when she ripped her leg open again on some field flint. The total would have been £310!!! Andy

Advocate for dogs will cure mange. About 25 quid for 3 months supply.

Being part of the family she gets to have use of the sofa as well....

Really sad that I hope you find another dog that will maybe be as good.. Andy

My lurcher raids the bin at every oppertunity, she's a bugger! Anything in there that has a whiff of food about it gets taken outta the bin, licked and then chewed up. I've seen bits of foil and small pieces of food wrappers in her turds before. I guess at just over a year old she's still a pup and will steal anything thats laying around to chew on. She has plenty to occupy her in the way of bones and chew etc, the bin and its contents win over everytime though...

I'll have to try that trick, never heard of it before

One of the best things i ever done was to get a lurcher. Must be gutting for you, goodluck for the future Andy

its when they hunt using their nose trying to find game mate. its a bit of a waste of time and also very dangerous in the dark. Cheers for the explanation I've seen it mentioned before and always wondered what it meant. Andy

Ok, so mine has a grand total tonight of 2 But i will get there with her

My next one will be called Mojo

Whats "hunting up"?

I just been out, crap weather down here in Hampshire at the moment though. I done as advised, with her on the lead walking upto a sitter in the beam. As soon as it bolted i let her go and bang, strike one! :-) Walked on a few more yards and saw another sitters eyes glowing in the light so we headed over to that one, same routine, we got close, it bolted and i let her run it down. 2 rabbits in 10 minutes. Im well pleased!!! Thanks for your tips Andy

Thanks for the advice chaps, im determined to get her working properly
