Guest anonymous Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Not a lurcher but my Dalmation X Beardie, was born with springs in her feet! She does 26ft into the pool, 15ft over the long jump and 8ft up the vertical wall. Hedges, fences and gates are never a problem. She jumps for fun, will always go over even if going round is quicker! It might just be me but when I see those photos I think, why? BTW, that dog in the bottom photo looks worried and I don't think it's to do with the fall Quote Link to post

A active dog is a happy dog, doesn't matter what the breed is. Some great photos guys Quote Link to post

As it was once said before on this site, the dog pictured above is suffering from massively low self esteem, just getting out of her basket every day and realising that she's not a lurcher is sometimes too much for her to cope with. Jumping huge distances off inanimate objects in an attempt to end her deep depression has always been a worry for me . . . . . but what can you do?? . . . . But support her through her down times.
