    Does he not recall or drop to the whistle mate. If not I wouldn't be doing retrieve training yet.

    Yes,I wanted to get a line that belonged to some rivals, someone well known had a very good coursing bitch, no way would they let me have a pup. Took me a few years but I eventually got my hands on an adult dog and bitch off the old bitch through third parties. I mated them together with no problems whatsoever and produced pups better than the parents, and very much resembling the old bitch. You need to remember , every time you out cross, your diluting your own stuff by 50%.

    show me a lurcher that dont like chasing stuff.when the dog realises that the action is were your at it will start gladly returning.ive had a few lurchers from an older age and some are very difficult to train.i agree that most can be trained but imho this is a quick solution that works.sometimes you can put allthe training in you like to a pup.when it starts the real thing then exitement can take over.my reply is a solution to help the dog realize there is more of this good stuff to come if i go back to the owner.and my first post was a contribution you miserable git I've trained plenty

    my first lurcher still dose it and hees 2 when off on chase if he dosent catch it he will runn off looking for one and dosent respond to any call for around 3/4 mins same for me when he dosent come back i tirn around and shine the lamp to the way i came then he races up Why don't you just train your dogs ! i do train my dogs.i had a rescue bitch that would just hunt up regardless and this works.an action taken by dog owner to get dog to do something you want it to.if thats not a form of training then what the feck is it. Conning a dog to get it to do what you wan

    Have you done any proper recall training mate. It's possible to turn most dogs round.

    Does nobody train recall these days. Getting it to come for a reward is not training recall. It comes because the reward is better than the distraction, as soon as the distraction is better than the reward your fecked. You don't train a dog to sit by saying, sit, and hoping for the best. You give the command and push his arse down ,giving him no choice. Of cause you then reward, but the key is the no choice bit. The same applies to recall, you train on a line, give the command, haul him in, then reward. Never call him when he's off the lead until he's 100% on the line with different distractio

    Don't give 'em liquidised stuff mate, you'll choke 'em. They want minced meat of various sorts , bit of soaked dry dog food, small chunks of tinned dog food, a few small worms and meal worms. Little and often. Good luck mate.

    I prefer 3/4" x 3/4", you want 16 gauge minimum, remember the higher the number the thinner the gauge.

    The broken coat gene was obviously recessive to the smooth gene. It didn't skip a generation, it was there all the time, just overpowered by the dominant smooth gene,until it randomly got paired with, either the same broken coat gene or another gene recessive to it. That makes sense, thank you. Would that also explain the fact that all three broken pups over the generations were male and identically marked? That was the weird bit for me! I would suggest, them all being male, as coincidence, the markings no doubt, genetic.

    Working it !, wouldn't fit down a rabbit hole , it's morbidly obese, cruelty if you ask me.

    Have that dark pair got a bit of wild in them? Yes mate, bred from two 50/50's.
  17. romany52
    one more.

    And jills
  19. romany52
    Yes, brimmers look like the old type greyhounds mate, though some were even more exaggerated than those , the ones I had ,the hobs were the same build as the jills and not a great deal bigger. I've noticed that some strains throw big hobs and small jills, while others throw both small hobs and jills. Here's a couple of mine, not greyhounds but nice and long with long legs. Two hobs.

    I had one of those when I was still at school, about 40 yrs ago. I bet I payed less than you for it, bought of a mate for 10s or 50p to you lot. I got chased by keepers while poaching pheasants with it. So I could run faster, I hid it on a big bracken bank, I went back several times but never could find it, it's probably still there. Ah well, them was the days.

    And I love someone stuck in the past. Things change, knowledge improves. Or do you still feed milk and slops and snap teeth? Good answer droid, Well there has been a few posts about folk like tj claiming to have owned greyhound ferret bas no one has yet managed to put up a picture or give any real hard proof they did/do excistso if any person can prove it then please share it with the world because as i see it, it is only a myth and old codjers like tj thinking back to there youth and since that was alsong time ago his memory might be playing tricks. i,m not that old

    i dont believe that .. ok the nerviousness is really apparent with strangers ,both pups are well socialised and live comfortably and interact fine with other dogs ,, so i believe it is something genetic forgot to say... the nerveiousness is more pronounced with men rather than women ! All the facts you've stated, suggest a lack of socialization. yes mate the evidence does point to that ..but it has never happend before with other dogs he keeps /kept and other breedings so that what makes both me /him and others think it is genetic .. You can't rule out the fact

    I agree, it's most likely down to socialisation.
