been offered a lurcher

[noisey 1]

i mainly keep gundogs as i am part of a pheasant syndicate and carry out alot of the pest control on the shoot ( digging ect).i also take lads out on the shoot frequently with thier lurchers for a bit lamping and as i have plenty of land to go at i am going to get a lurcher myself. my mate has offerd me one of his pups for free which will be a 3/8 5/8 bull cross. we have all types of quarry on land (which will be shot and retrieved.....) and was wondering on other opinions if these will be up to the job as i am more then willing to pay for a different breed if this is not going to be the one for me.

you are better off going out with a few types of running dogs and see them work before you comit yourself ,and it also goes on what quarry you want to run ,im sure there would be someone who would take you out

get the right cross of dog for what your wanting to hunt,some bullx can be very heavy

[taz2010 1,297]

all depends on what your gonna hunt wid him mate diffrent breeds for diffrent purposes mate

[THE DEMON 93]

what will you be hunting mate? it could be heavy for turning etc

[Top Lamper 2k10 169]

should be a good dog on most quarry but no good for the long ears at Top Lamper

[huntingalltheway 2]

mate should be able to do all quarry. but u only get back what time you put in. so its down to you atb jamie

[scotty2306 37]

depends how it throws if you get a racey one it would be ok but you dont know how they will turn out as a pup,i would think collie/grey x bull/grey or saluki/grey x bull/grey should be better for allround work imo

have you seen both parents work?? if so was you happy with how they worked?? if yes to both then take a pup and give it ago end of the day you wont no till you try mate. good luck with whatever you end up with
