i think im right in saying that a tumbler is an old type of running dog that just used to use its force of impact to nock the quarry down, whereas obviously the lurcher strikes at its quarry. The tumbler was less popular due to its high chance of injuring intself during the collision with its quarry.

 

well thats what i understand anyway

havnt the slightest, what i told ya is just what i read.

I think im right in saying that they are pretty much the same as lurchers just they have a wider chest with more elasticated pectoral (spelling) muscels to give a bit on impact.

 

like i said i dnt really know much about them, just what i have read about.

 

i would guess that they dont any longer take quarry by "tumbling" just fit the description physically of a tumbler and take quarry the same as most lurchers by striking.

 

im sure there are more knowledgeable people on here who can help ya.

Having had a wee look at the site, I've got to admit I can't see a difference between teh dogs on there and the dogs I would refer to as lurchers. Am I just being stupid?

[whin 463]

tumblers just another old wifes tale who the hellll would want to eat game or keep adog that rolls about sounds to me vets bills and old wife tales for a genuine expierencde hunting guy wouldnt be worth his salt as a working dog

If you type Norfolk and tumbler type lurcher in to Google. A brief history on the dogs is explained. Has also been in past copies of the EDRD.

A tumbler is a shorter in length dog from which the other sibblings in the litter are all taller

this is how Jeff who breeds the old type lurchers explained it to me.

He clearly shows the difference between a lurcher and a tumbler on his web site.

had a look at the site these dogs seem to be all sizes and colours

not a true breed in my book just a lurcherx lurcher

some seem 27in plus and the dog from yorkshire belonging to andy

is about 19in as he lives near me.

he used to put the pedigrees up of the dogs

and these had everything in them from saluki/kelpie/whippets/minshaws blue

and numerous other breeds not forgeting his favourite huskyxs

not saying there now good as i know someone who as a good bitch bred this way

but the price is well near £300 a pup.

and at the end of the day even hancock breeds a good now and again

thanks lads ,very interesting but from what i can make out, i think that jeffs sayin he has some mysterious ingredient from the past ,that only his dogs retain, when from what i can see theyre lurchers,same as the ones we all know, from lurcher x lurcher matings youll get a variety of shapes n sizes ,good n bad.

i kown jeff and my lamping partner actually owns the originall husky x that was used by jeff i dont think he is claiming any secret ingrediant just trying with the crosses he has/had available to re produce near as possible a

tried a tested strain of [call it what you like] tumbler lurcher and yes 300 plus is exspensive but rarley are they advertised and at least people who pay that sort of money must be serious about the breed. before any one missenterprets what im saying no you dont need to pay 300 to be serious i had seven pups wich are now 3 month old kept too an gave 5 away i would hope to serious dog men exactly what makes a tumbler im not sure but ive yet to see a bad one [i havent seen them all] or even alot of them work but the ones i have are good

o.k mate,can you tell me the difference between jeffs tumblers, and a workin lurcher to lurcher mating?and i was always under the impression ,that huskys can not work properly in the sort of temperatures we have over here they need it below o or they overheat quickly ,thats just what i understand i could be wrong?
