Hi Darbo, I have a gundog trainig book written by Eric Begbie which I bought in hope of training my 4 year old spaniel . But I belive this will be a good book for the basics I just assumed that it wouldnt work on a Lurcher. But what ill do is keep it and use that for most of it and get The Working Lurcher by Jakie Drakeford and Running Dog Maintence by Penny Taylor. Thanks for the help!!
