Working Greyhound


Recommended Posts

Alright, im very interested in the idea of working full greyhounds nothing else. I was wandering if there was anyone on here with some that are working? Or where i could get information about them maybe some books? I have seen some litters for sale and they were very tempting!

Comedy was a bad career choice you weapon. This forum has gone shit becasue of shitty little novices like You.

 

 

Now f**k off.

Yes you're right, it's shit because of novices like me. It'd be much better if everyone on here was a stroppy keyboard hard man.

Have worked a few on the lamp but these were racing dogs ok for the red fellahs but as for RLTH :no::whistling: would imagine they'd be ok though brought on from pups & encouraged to use their nose & hunt up etc.

When i was a young lad my hunting buddy had a greyhound bitch called Mandy. She was a lovelly dog, biddable and keen and she would retreive to hand too. We never trained her(we didnt know how!) she just did. I saw her roll a few hares and i think she might have been in on a deer too, but she would never, ever take a fox. We once squeaked a charlie in across a huge field and we slipped both our dogs. Mine being a sal/grey that wouldn't take foxes either. They bent that fox at least 20 times and just didnt want it. Their choice. :thumbs:

Im ashamed to say that i cannot remember what happened to Mandy, i fell out with the lad for going behind my back toth eplaces i had shown him. And that was the end of that tale.

If all greyhounds had the same temperament of mandy then they would findhomes easily, she was a loving dog that really enjoyed being out and about doing a spot of hunting. She could catch both rabbits and hares and was a joy to be around.

Problem with greyhounds running quarry is injuries, but Mandy never hurt herself when i was with her.... :victory:

my mate bought an ex racer to breed with his saluki grey and we`ve had her out on the lamp a few times. she was ok on the rabbits but when she never cort it she would just do laps of the feild chasing nothing and one time she struck a rock and broke a tooth and wont strike anything now. and as for the feet he took her to a game fair and give her a go on the rag and she went to stop and her stopper pad ripped clean off! so i think thats the end of her career. ive got one of the pups so i hope hes nothing like his mother :blink:

I have been told that if you get a good one they are as good as any lurcher and they really do smash old charlie. I looked into puppies from some really well bred animals. Thanks for all the help and infomation! Any pictures of working greyhounds would be very appreciated
