At one time it was thought that all the hardmen and jack the lads had lurchers, so that made them cool, now its pitbulls that are in vogue, so lurchers are now uncool to the mass idiot fraternity.

Very good subject to raise, I'm with Blackpack on this, Ithink there should be an acknowledgement on if the dog done what said on the tin, far too many dogs get passed about, like Dell said patience is the key, people want a quick fix or a quick buck. NO GOOD, hard work pays off not convenience.

i think a lot of them are impulse buys. they maybe read edrd or countrymans and think i ll get one of them. then the puppy shit and howling starts then it either is to big to small to rough to smooth etc. they say someone who regularly swap and change their possessions are insecure dont know if its right

if you breed a dog for red ,fluffy tails and thats what your into,and the dog consistantly gibs on them,does it suit what you wish to use it for..NO..

there people out there like rearing pups mate,with plenty patience and time can turn out the way you want them, nothing worse than bringing up pups with no control over them,running free about a field,and turning deff when you shout them back,and return when they feel like it..

I'm with you on this whin. It makes me cringe to see the amount of young dogs up for sale on here for so called genuine reasons. I went though a bad patch with my beddy/whippet between the age of 10 - 12 months, he wasn't catching and started to yap out of frustration. I gave him a month or so off, then took him out on a windy night and he caught 4 rabbits from about 10 slips, all in silence after he caught the first one. Not huge numbers but not a bad start, especially on the ground we were on. I wonder how many lads would have given up and passed him on if they had a bad spell.

 

I think they should ban the sale of dogs on here altogether, there's plenty of other sites dedicated to selling dogs online.

Its one of the reasons that enybody who gets a lurcher pup should install a degree of basic obeidiance in the dog then if it doesent make the grade like whin said give it away to a pet home.atb dell

This is were the breeders responsibility comes in as well, breeders should be responsible for any dogs they have produced for the dogs entire life IMO. Any problem they should be helping as best they can and in the worst case scenario they should go back to the breeder.

 

Of course the problem is that not only are there numpties getting dogs they shouldn't be, but the numpties are breeding them as well!

 

I have 4 dogs produced from one litter by my dogs (one I kept) so there are 3 dogs out there which I feel I am personally am responsible for as where it not for me they wouldn't be here. I did my very best to home them with responsible people will do my best to help and advise should any problems arise.

 

IMO if as a breeder or owner you are not in a position to take responsiblity for the dogs you have or breed you shouldn't have dogs let alone breed them.

totally agree people should think long and hard on what they want a dog to do and the breed that suits them most general knowledge know what you want.
