sniper 30 Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 Regardless of cross, a good honest working lurcher fits my bill everytime Quote Link to post
stroller 341 Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 it could have the best breeding in the world but you might not work well together, i have a labradoodle bitch which is a fantastic bushing dog but she doesnt work for anyone but herself, the big gundog will break his heart trying to please, and the little kelpie x i have is a one man machine. The big saluki x we have is wooden in the head, lovely dog though Quote Link to post
COSH 14 Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 to me its all about enjoying working whatever lurchers im keeping, i very rarely get rid of a dog, they are here for life, i find every dog has its own plus and minus points but this is what its all about for me, dont get me wrong, results matter to me, probably more than most, but as long as my dogs give their best, im more than happy.

FightTheBan 1,147 Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 There is no such thing as the ultimate lurcher. Yes there are great all rounders, and there are great specialists but nothing will suit everyones needs - and thats the beauty of the lurcher. You choose the breed that suits you best - it may be the ultimate lurcher to you but it wont be to everyone else. FTB Quote Link to post
