i work my bitch with a local shoot and she will pick up and retrieve feather happily, i've seen a lurcher catch one woodie once by complete chance - i doubt it will never happen again, woodies rise at any possibilty of threat from distance so how is your dog catching anything if he's running wild through them?

for a lurcher to catch partridge or pheasent they must be very calculated as clearly the birds have the huge advantage of flying and the dog has only the one chance of catching the bird

The ones she as had have been trying to get into flight poss 2ft in hair and she takes em !!!

ya mine was rouuing through when the crops where about 3 foot high and as they take off he would jump at them before they where in full flight. like im not saying my dog has wings mate just this guy is askin a question and getting a factual answer im not saying my dog is amasing im saying he runs through long fields like a crazed axman and sometimes comes bk with a bird

My running dogs have never caught one but I owned two cur gyps(mother and daughter) that both caught them quite regular. I'm talkin bout pheasants here.

I don't think lurcher lass was being derogatory just asking a question, hardly calling for a middle finger retard..........

Yeah, all the time mate....... Only game birds though which is strange.... never touches ground nesting birds like pee weeps or oyster catchers on the lamp but daylight, he'll gladly take poults by the dozen....

my dogs will take pheasant and partridge while hunting cover sometimes before they have chance to move or sometimes in mid air as they try to take off my youngest bitch has had woodcock its suprising how differently they retreives feather to rabbit being instintively gentler .it gives the ferrets a change in diet from rabbit

[Deano7 22]

Its amazing that they leave certain birds alone as i said mine never gives chickens a 2nd glance

Mine has the odd pheasant if they are about, some dont get damaged and I release them other just keel over and some just to damaged so ring there necks to be kind. Earlier this year I was in Scotland and my dog flushed a pheasant out from a bush and the sutupid thing flew straight into some patio windows and knocked it self out, they really are stupid birds!

They breed that stupidness into them so that fat arsed shooters can err hunt them easier....
