mardy lurchers

[foyrious 13]

Thought I'd ask about the mardiest types. . I've kept a lot of types, but my saluki x whinges over anything? My bitch ran into him yesterday and he didn't shut up for ages. . I shut the door and caught his toe the other day and it sounded like murder. He whines if we stop walking. . My other 3dogs are tough as old boots but my saluki x is a pussy. . Is it just the saluki in him or just his age? I've always bin lucky until now, and he aint nervous or handshy, just a proper drama queen. . He's ten month now. Cheers

my experience of salukis ,not that i have much of but every 1 i,ve seen have been like that

[southcott 9]

my 10 mth saluki x is just the same he screams the place down over nothing, also moans if you stop out on a walk

[Guest Buttermilk]

We once had a little Whippety Lurcher like that...she used to moan and whinge about everything.

She once had ONE stitch taken out at the vets.... she screamed the place down and then promptly fainted and had to be given oxygen.

If you stopped stroking her, she'd whinge, stopped walking up the fields, she'd whinge....she also used to jump up onto our pony's back and just sit there as he trotted around the paddock ....she was a little freak basically.

yep that kelpie cross i work is like this,,, and theres plenty lads on here have witnesed it. all the time when she jumps her front feet up you, she gets a toe cought in your pocket, and screems . the thing is you know she hasn't hurt herself

 

mine also does it when she antispates somthing ,,,, like when a rabbit screams befor ist cought,,,, tara does the same thing and somtimes nothing actualy happens..

 

i hope all the fellas that have seen her do this , post,,, cos theres a good few out there she realy is a mardy fecker

bull x grey.... whiniest f****r that ever lived...... except when working..... different dog then!

 

real oversensitive clingy animal when at home!

[welshnutter69 78]

got a saluki grey whippet here...likes a good winge!

 

getting better with time tho

 

shes now 4months!

 

 

 

try putting the radio on for him/her...works with my dogs, and try putting in a cuddly toy in with him/her and give it a bone to chew on

 

these methods work for me, have to keep my dogs quiet, i live on a houseing estate

My sal x was the same but they grow out of it! he nearly 7 months now and wants to fight! and hump owt that moves lol

I've found most lurcher's are big shits until you get them in a field. My beddy/whippet yelps at the slightest little thing in the house, but I've known him to run into a steel gate on the lamp and not be bothered by it.

Same as My beddy whip screams blue murder if you tread on his foot at home was on a rabbit other day ran under barb wire fence opened his back up like a zip and did not give a monkeys

dogs seem to whinge a lot more than bitches,not fact by any means, just from the ones iv had,seen and come across over the years

[bert the fert 28]

Just based on the lurchers i've owned or known, then i'd presumed that being mard was a defining characteristic of the dogs. Compared to the gundogs and working breeds i've had the lurchers are soo sensitive.
