No dog to run this season!!! A dog isn't for a season mate, its for life. I know you get fannies on here swapping dogs like panini stickers but don't go down that road. Spend your money on a decent pup, bring it up and this time next season you'll be the proudest hunter on here when your telling us its killed its first rabbit cos of you. 3 Quote Link to post

Sorry for jumping to conclusions but you can only try and read between the lines on here. Sorry to hear about your dog dying at 18 months old and its good to see it hasn't put you off. Awful hard trying to get a decent adult dog for sale for geniune reasons mate but I'm sure there are some out there but I reckon there will be an awful lot of bad ones too. Don't you have any friends you can trust in the lurcher world who might know of any dogs for sale mate? As for price, doesn't really tell you whether it will be any good. You'll get shit £500 dogs just the same as shit £60 ones and vice versa. I'm sure there will be guys on here that can tell you if they know of any dogs for sale and how the dog is and you can always ask if the person giving the advice is trustworthy. All the best in your quest(f****n poet now) anyhow mate. Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Funnily enough the best grown dogs i've seem exchanged were free, the ones that were sold as adults for cash tended to be ruined or lacking in one way or another. Quote Link to post
the pikey poacher 1,157 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 ill sell you this good little bitch for £150 and ill show you her run before you part with any money and it will show your pup the ropes when its old enough to run pm me if interested Quote Link to post
pinguu 169 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 In my opinion a dog aint just for a season, but besides that you will be lucky to get a good dog full stop, the season is upon us, id be careful if someone offers you a guarenteed dog ask to see it run first go out with them cos if a dogs 100% why sell it......just my opinion.

pinguu 169 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 i wasnt refering to you mate, i was just making a statement, some lads will off load their dogs saying they are 3 outta 3 and infact have never coursed as much as a carrier bag blowing down a field. i personally would get a pup and run it next season, i have a half cross i will not be able to run this season as he aint old enough but i know next season is worth the wait.
