Apologies in advance for being slightly off topic but I work my dogs like lurchers even though they're pure kelpies.

 

I find that I catch more with my kelpies than I ever did with my previous lurchers(though as I've said on her before it could just be because my lurchers were cr*p).

 

Two of mine are about 19" and the youngest is just over 17" and she's shaping up to be the best allrounder of the three. I just wish she'd hurry up and realise (like her great, great uncle) that rats shouldn't be retrived live to hand.

[craigheff 12]

no worries mate ...its always good to hear about people like your self working pure breed dogs like kelpies ...why do you work kelpies over a lurcher if you dont mind me asking??...are they quick or just use there brain for the rabbits???..live rats to hand-that would be nice alright

[Neal 1,854]

It would be too long a story for one post on a thread and I wouldn't want to go off topic on this great thread.

 

However, to cut a long story very, very short: my last lurcher had a bit of kelpie in him and I was so pleased by his character and temperament that I bought a pure one over ten years ago and haven't looked back since. I have absolutely nothing against lurchers, far from it, but my character simply gets on better with my kelpies. If you're interested in finding out more about them, there's a very good 21 page thread about kelpie and cattle dog crosses which started last year.

 

Anyway, back to these excellent small lurchers...

That dog looks as if it should be 4 inches taller cos of its long back. Nice dog mate, hope you have success with it.

Some nice little dogs on here, this is one of my old dogs, 3/4 Whippet 1/4 Greyhound. He was very useful with the rabbits but also had 1 or 2 hares in his time, a very determined dog indeed.

 

This pic was taken when he was 5 after a very good morning coursing
