thinking of geting my first lurcher


Recommended Posts

evey 1 will tell you different things ,pros and cons 2 every x personaly i prefer bull x grey or deerhound grey or them x together good for rabbits and other quarry that needs controlling or you go with a bit saluki in their either way theirs lots of good x out their and to the owners preference anyway hope get a dog from a pup because you put own stamp on it and thats the best way 2 start........atb......dh :thumbs:
