I would have thought they would be a good size for a working terrier. I take it they are not good digging dogs?
-
Come on lads, Highlander started a topic asking about Lucus terriers, Not PLummer. The only reason I mentioned him is because he bread my Lucas terrier. Lets not get worked up over him or what he did/said he did. Does anyone esle keep working Lucas terriers? What about working selyhams? are they around anymore?

It's really good to see. My daughter is 19 months and loves going up the park and seeing the lurcher run. I hope she decides to come out with me as she gets older. I won't force her but am hoping she will chose to hunt.

What shows have obediance tests for lurchers and what do they entail? Also, are they fair? or is it "prizes for the boys" I think it would be good fun to give it a crack.

My lurcher is from Hancocks and th eonly trouble I ever had with her feet was a dislocated toe. It happend when chasing a ferrtted rabbit and she must have caught it on something. I just got the vet to remove the toe. It has not effected her at all.

I started my current lurcher at seven months against the advice of others. However, I didn't work her hard at all. I was more intrested in making sure that when I called her she came straight back. At the end of the day I think you need to have your dog under control at all times. I've been out with a few guys who told me how their dogs had been catching reguarly since they were 5 months old and how good they were (you know the type). To be fair, the dogs were pretty good at catching but would wander away accross the fields and wouldn't come back no matter how mutch they called.

Absolutle quality. What do you do with them all? I wouldn't fancy carrying them!!

Well done bud.

I knew Brian a little and he was good to me but the thing that annoys so many terriermen is that most of the stories were FICTION. The one thing that bugged me was the challenges in a certain paper offering to match Cavaliers against ANY working terriers on digging, this is clearly a joke :whistle: I'd have paid to see a cavalier work a January dog fox and keep it bottled up for 4/5 hours whilst its dug to I fully understand. I am not a digger and have no opinions on the matter. To be honest though I can't understand why people get upset so mutch. At the end of the day even if was

Hi Bud, It would have depended when you were there. I met him in 1997 and spent alot of time at the kennels until he died. I stayed with him and his wife for about a month in 1998 helping inthe kennels and that's when I spent alot of time working the Lucus terriers. I wasn't working at the time and it was a good chance to learn. I was only 18 in 1998. It was defenatly Mr Pie and Willow, but I can't remember the other one. I have loads of photos but can't seem to find them. When I do i will put the pics up. I'm sure I wrote the names on the back of the pics. To be honest, I didn't r

Jason Polo is on the Lucas Terrier Club website at www.lucasterrier.co.uk/polo.htm so no need to fight with uploading photos. His descendents through Mark's line - when he bred the Sealyham Lulu to Polo - are still working in the Essex area in a small pack. Mark currently has an outcrossed Lucas bitch, Tink, as his line had become too interbred, that he has mated to Polo's grandson and I am sure some of these will go to working homes too. Lucas terriers have no Plummer/Raggengill lines in them as all these dogs were de-registered by the Club in 1999. The Lucas is Norfolk/Sealyham and n

I like collie crosses and they suit me fine. I had a bitza lurcher ten years ago but she got hit by a car and needed to be pts. The bitza was a good we lurcher and worked fairly well.
-
Yes i know Tommy well and his bitch was a good little worker, and it was as a result of seeing his at work that i decided to opt for that breed. Tommy himself is a lovely, quiet unassuming man, a credit to fieldsports. Are your Lucas's from the Raggengill Line?

What nights is Armadale?

I met him at Brian Pummers once. He was through with his son. He seemed like a really genuine guy. I think his son had a bull greyhond lurcher. His son seemed like a good guy too.

My terrier was named Raggengill Twinkle. I used to work Raggengill Willow, Raggengill Mr Pie and one of the other bitches he had but I can't for the life of me remember her name along the clyde at Abington for a wee while and they were all good wee dogs. Willow was very small and was the best out of the three of them. From memory my terrier is 1/2 Selyham, 1/4 Plummer and 1/4 Lucus, but is refered to as a sporting lucus. (not that it effects me in either way what she's called) I will get a few pics up when I get a chance. I only ever worked her to rabbit and she was

I feed the ferrets on whole rabbits. Don't skin or gut them as they get nutriants from the guts etc(so I have been told) but I do worm them reguarly. Never really thought about feeding them to the dogs. Think i'll give it a go.

I have trained greyhounds for 20+years,I only run them on the Scottish flaps,this way I don't have any kennel bills as such,it costs about £6/week to feed each dog. I could not afford to have a dog with an ngrc trainer just too costly.It's different in Ireland samba as they operate an open kennel system where an individual can train their own dog/dogs,it's not dissimilair to flapping in the UK.This makes it more hands on so in my veiw more enjoyable. Where are the flaping tracks? are there any in the lothians? My wife and I go to shawfield every now and then (purely as sp

After reading previous posts I see that people feed their dogs on rabbit. How to you feed them? Just skin and gut them and feed the whole rabbit or do you remove all the meat from the bones? Also, does it do any harm? Someone once told me not to feed rabbits to dogs but they never said why.

Hi bud. I have one (well had one) She stayed with my mum and dad when I moved out of home in 2002. She will be 9 on the 16th and is a great wee terrier. My dad takes her out a fair bit but but only ferreting and bushing. Her Dam was Plummers Pip and the sire was a pure selyham terrier (I think called Mr Ted, but can't remember) also owned by Plummer. Are you thinking about getting one?
-
Nice looking dog. I think you are bang on though with regards to rushing it. At the end of the day I know it's hard to not go out because you want to work her. I started my lurcher at 71/2 months becasue I was really impatiant. I was fortunate as I didn't work her really hard because she wasn't even fully developed. It will be easier with my next lurcher because I have my older dog to work. Is that a 3/4 Greyhound 1/4 Border Collie you've got?

Why do you mix it with tinned dog meat? I leave dry food out all the time then feed a tin of meat when I get home from work every day. Not sure why if I am honest. Just alway's done it when I didn't have the chicken. Supose it stems back to living at home. My parents used to feed a tin of dog food with a mixer to our pet dogs when we were growing up. Do you think it's bad for the dog?
-
Looks like a crakin wee terrier.

I used to have access to ofal from a chicken factory and used to feed raw chichen legs etc but I cant get it from the person who I got it from as he died a couple of years back. Now I feed my lurcher on Beta active dry food and I mix it with a tin of dog meat and my lurcher seems healthy enough on it. It cost's me £20 a bag and it lasts a fair while.

Mine is 24" at the shoulder. I do have pictures but unfortunatly I do not have a PC. I am at my folks house visiting and the pics are in my house. I will try and get some put up at work tomorrow. I've posted pictures in the past and I'll see if I can find them.
