Don't agree dan....... Takes a hell of alot of time to get a gundog to a high standard never mind to ftch standard. The only time I see in getting a lurcher to a high standard is fitness, the owner has to put the time in to get to this level. Apart from that the dog either has it in it or it doesn't, I think jacker is the correct terminology,,,,,,,,;-)
My point is mate it is only fair to compare their difficulty to train if you train them to the same standard IE same job, try teaching a saluki x to retrieve then take out any gundog breed which of the 2 will take the lesson quickly, easi
