lurcher/ tumbler ?

[ASME IX 1]

i remember when i was at school me and a pal rang up for these tumblers,my pal made the call and i was on the other line (holding my mouth like some torrets patient).there was only so much sh**e i could digest before torrets took over.

he seemed to just rhyme,chat and waffel cack out his mouth,coming out with comments like there recovery time is less than half the time of a average lurcher,they reguraly out run matchdogs out on the fens and the nail in the coffin was when he said they have a better catch rate because of how they strike at there quary,they turn there head 90 degrees and strike from behind in apose to striking from the side.

no time for bulls***ers.

I have read up on these type of dogs and the J.Burrel fellow i remember them being about in the 70s the odd litter in the exchange & mart bred by lads who worked their dogs IMHO its unfair to put this man [J.B] even though their might be a bit of kidology in the same category as out and out puppy pedlars like hancock.

 

....I've met Jeff Burrel quite a few times. He is slightly eccentric and certainly does ramble on a bit, but he does breed some phenomenal Lurchers.

'Tumblers' are a type, line bred ...having owned 3 Norfolk Tumblers I can say that most of the 'hype' is true. And in my opinion, they are superb Lurchers.

P.S. We have recently picked up our bitch pup from X38...she's 9 weeks old tomorrow and is already incredibly obedient and 'in tune' with me. She 'sits', is starting to retrieve well and is totally house-trained.

Now, this may not be earth-shattering news, but she's one of the steadiest, most receptive pups we've had. Not only that, the whole litter is well-reared and very well socialised....and before any of you wonder, no...I'd never met or spoken to X38 before we went along to choose our pup...so not writing all this out of loyalty to a friend.

I would not hesitate for one minute in getting a pup out of this type of lurcher as at the end of the day they are lurcher to lurcher bred dogs bred for the right reasons not just churned out for profit on a production line of retired raceing dogs.atb dell

Hello..I have found them to be exceptionally easy to train, their speed and striking ability is incredible, along with their general overall level of agility.Obviously this is my personal opinion and am sure not ALL Tumblers are 'phenomenal'...but the ones' we've owned and known have been pretty special.

Another point to make is that we virtually never needed to take them to the vet....other than for routine procedures. They were resiliant, hard dogs and had very, very good feet.Also, we found their temperament to be sound...they were good natured,always wanted to please and very biddable.

Hope this answers your question....?

....my ex-husband worked them mostly on rabbit and fox(pre ban)...do you mean amount as in exact numbers over their lifetime/s? He was very active and had them out 4/5 nights a week during the season, but I don't know exactly how many rabbits a night.Is that your question?

[runem 533]

Hmmmm....interesting comment...all I can say is that having had Tumblers and known them, I disagree. But each to their own...it would be very boring if we all shared the same opinions.
