gnipper 6,426 Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Whippet although she would tackle anything with a the intent of killing it just a shame she was brainless and struggled to catch. Brilliant ratter though. Quote Link to post
out lamping 0 Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) Well, I know I'll get shit off the Collie guy's, but the worst dog I've ever had was a Collie/Greyhound !! It could jump like a stag, was biddable, caught a rabbit or two, but never made the grade as a lamper, and was far to slow to get near a hare ! O.K., I might have got a wrong 'un, but it put me off Collie X's for life !! Cheers. THATS THE WORSE X I BEEN GETTING RINGING IN MY EARS FOR YEARS MATE NOT SAYING THEY NO GOOD JUST WHAT WAS SAID BY FEW GUYS I GO WITH DOGS There's good and bad in all breeds and you cant judge a whole breed off simply just one dog.. i myself have had the worse problem with a saluki cross tried to get it to do a thing for me was torture it just ran round the fields relentlessly i took the tw4t out lamping and it was scared of the dark so it got its knackers off and give to a old man... yet i still run a saluki cross and a collie cross 1/4 alaunt 1/4apt 1/2 grey not a word of lye me and luke. of this site went out with it when i got it i was told 100% on lamp went out and it didnt av a clue wernt watching or nothing sliped it on a squatter and it just took of [bANNED TEXT] looking for it and it was asleep at some haybails Edited November 28, 2009 by out lamping Quote Link to post
longdog13 36 Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 OK PEOPLE WHATS THE WORSE PURE OR X YOU EVER HAD AND REASON FOR THIS BEING YOUR WORSE DOG CHEERS Now, This answer is from personal experience, my worst was a 1st cross whippet Greyhound. He moved like greased weasel shite, but threw toes like they were going out of fashion , his skin tore like toilet tissue and you would think he was an undercover saluki, no recall ability when looking at something he might want to chase. which was everything :crazy: . i'm merely answering the question, not judging anyone elses dogs so no cowboys on high horses please.

snoopdog 1,256 Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 in most cases why people get mmmmmm..lets call them not so good lurchers... is because they dont do there homework on the parent,s before they purchase a pup....some just dont make the grade i agree... but if you do your homework..and get the type of lurcher for the type of terrain and type of quarry your going to run your halfway there...just my humble opinion..... .....

longdog13 36 Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 That has little to do with things like poor feet, crap coat, inbred agression. If you land with a pup with one or all of these issues . the question is surely there for people to answer from their own experience, not for people to judge all and sundry Just my interpretation of the question mind.

wee gemm hunter 8 Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 in most cases why people get mmmmmm..lets call them not so good lurchers... is because they dont do there homework on the parent,s before they purchase a pup....some just dont make the grade i agree... but if you do your homework..and get the type of lurcher for the type of terrain and type of quarry your going to run your halfway there...just my humble opinion..... ..... The worst lurcher I have ever seen was bred out of the best bitch that ever took a hare [according to the owner of the bitch], this guy made his reputation out of this one bitch. I also bred one of my better dogs 1st x deer/gru with a full gru bitch, kept a bitch for myself, flying machine, hunted, carried to hand, went through barb wire like a chipper, gave it away to boys that went for white hares,that was its level.
