what you want mate is a mentor / someone who you can trust, who already has had lurchers, and who has worked them for a long time and knows the score, theres loads of lads round the barnsley area, its just finding the right person to knock about with, as a starting point what about the person you bought the pup off ?? on the other hand though, they are going to have to be able to trust you too, maybe its not all about what they can do for you, but what you can do to contribute for them
