Its great to have found this forum. I have just acquired a lurcher pup and she is doing very well. She has replaced a staffie whippet lurcher bitch that I lost recently. The previous bitch had been rehomed to us and wasn't a working lurcher but a pet, she should have worked though as she had all the heart and ability of a good lurcher. She was not steady to livestock unfortunately so I was unable to take her out rabbiting with friends that regularly take out their lurchers. I hope to be able to bring my new pup on, so that she can be a pet but also learn the 'job' of being a proper lurcher
