jimmy0211 2 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 difficilt subject, with the best will in the world even thr best trainer/bloke couldnt make me do the 100 yrds in less than a week on a good day. most dogs can be brought on to perform well and someone who knows the game will get them to perform to the best of their ability, but some dogs are just better than others, sometimes its down to breedind sometimes down to luck you have a choice of pup, could be one cracker amongst them, could be all crackers, could be all crap. you pays your money and takes your chance. you have to admit though, a good trainer will make a decent dog come good whilst a knuckle dragger could ruin the best of dogs. I know you need a decent dog to begin with but there are a lot of decent dogs for sale that haven't had a fair crack at the whip. You ever read the story of red rum? i havent...please tell Quote Link to post
littletimmy 71 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 I find it funny when you go out with someone you aint bin out with before and they go on how good the dog is and how it does this and that. Then it spuws or pulls up infront of you Why bother lying if your gunna get proved wrong the same night Quote Link to post

paulus 26 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 maybe it performed better the night before you went out with it. carnt be a good night everynight, without seeing it run a good bit. i carnt see how it can be judged by one bad performance. Quote Link to post

Catcher 1 639 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 why do people say there dogs are mint sell you it on a trail then they cant do the job . complete waste of everyones time All my dogs come from good friends.If i ever had to buy a dog.Would have to see what it could do on the field for a few days.Haveing said that.Dont think i would take an older dog on.I would go for a good pup and put the work in myself.Lets face it no one sells a good dog.Even is they have to get rid of it.A friend would snap it up.atb.

jjbel 0 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Lets face it no one sells a good dog.Even is they have to get rid of it.A friend would snap it up.atb. Catcher Thats not always the case, I bought a 3 yr old lamping dog and he does everything the man said he does, except now he does it a little bit better, before I had him he only came off the lead or out of the pen to lamp, he was never walked and exercised unless he was out working. I have had him for 4-5 weeks now, I walk him every night and lamp him 2-3 times a week he is now doubleing his bag from when I first had him. I didnt know the guy he came from, I bought him from the "pre loved" website, I didnt pay alot and took a chance, I asked why he was selling him and he told me he had a few too many dogs, he had terriers and 3-4 other lurchers. He was a genuine rough and ready fella, who sold something he didnt want anymore. And I had a bargain of a lifetime!!!!!! Quote Link to post

stabba 10,745 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Ladies gents...... always insist on a trial. never hand money over until you are satisfied that the dog your trialing does what it says on the tin. if money becomes the issue then hand the money to an impartial 3rd party. im sure many people on this site would be willing to act as a third party. i know i would if the deal was being done near my neck of the woods. atb stabba.

Simoman 110 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 It bugs me when people claim a dog is 110%, it is mathmatically impossible to attain more than 100% Quote Link to post
