its not coming from a rescue center though if that makes any difference. the owner does work it i haven't seen it but i have heard about it from a friend. i do get what your saying its better to have a pup but are they not quite a lot of hard work and not a lot of watching ?

its not bad. its got a bit of gourse where rabbits have been burrowing. its a u shaped valley so quite hilly -
yeah i need think hard about it. i have heard of a 4 year old lurcher who already works and is good for rehome. do you think that would work out in your opinon
-
no honestly not man. im not an expert its obvious im keen to get advice though i appreciate it all i really do. im just saying that dog i had was really hard to get to hunt and i gived up eventually. of course i didnt know enough of what i was doing. but im asking for future reference
-
thanks mate. i rehomed her. she went to a couple who where very friendly and felt like she would be more happy with them. but i hope to have another lurcher soon i aappreciateany advice you can give me.
-
i tried that one but she was too nervous of other dogs. like i said she was pretty soft.

i had to rehome her because of certain circumstances. but im asking so i know in future what i should really be doing with the dog. im always grateful for tips and advice. hopefully be getting another dog soon so want to be prepared.
