robbielisa 11 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 I am now the proud owner of my first lurcher pup. she is 1/2 greyhound 1/4 whippet 1/4 collie. Any training tips would be appreciated as i've only trained gundogs so far! Quote Link to post

border lad 1,047 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 she is a nice pup, and a good x easy to train, and she will be able to put something on the table for you, for me arguably, one of the best xs for rabbit, and able to pick up a few hares, Quote Link to post

johnbhoy 1 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 cracking pup mate, its not that much different from training a gundog except your letting it run instead of getting it steady, hope you have good times with him/her atb john Quote Link to post
Weedy 7 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 (edited) Nice lookin pup robbielisa! You should find it easier than a gundog to train. retreiving is just as imortant in a lurcher as in a gundog so don't change anything in that respect. Cheers Weedy.

salclalin 240 Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Excellent choice of Breeding for a First Lurcher. If you have trained Gundogs A Pup of that Breeding will be a Doddle to Train. Quote Link to post
