GOOD DOGS,BAD DOGS

thats the question-what makes a good,(even great),bad or indifferent lurcher? Is it down to breeding or training?

I posted the same question on the terrier section a while ago and a lot blamed the breeding when a terrier failed to come up to scratch.

What are the views of you lurcher men (or ladies).

breeding is everything especially in lurchers used on foxes full time.

If the ingredients aren't there to start with no amount of training will put them there.

How do you know when its the ingredients that are wrong and not the training?

i havent met a longdog or lurcher that wont take game, i dont dispute that they exist, a lot of failures is down to handling.

 

too much too young pushed by belligerence and ignorance.

 

Hey im a dog man im always going to blame people

I know of one litter and none of them made the grade, they all had different owners some where experienced

and some first timers. Maybe some think it was down to the rearing, training and entering by the different lads

but I saw a few of that litter work and they didn't have it in them, that's the way it is sometimes.

Good working lines in both sire and dam, dedicated patient handler with realistic expectations, good quality varied diet, quality kennel set up, right rest to work ratio and a pinch of luck
