fox digger 1,086 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) YES HE DID SAY THE DOG JACKED ! ! ! " my mates 11 month old pup " PULLED up " on a stinger of a run" ! did you not read the topic title ????? if thats not jacking what is. And im not going into what happened with my terreir on here to someone I dont know but shes over 3 year old had plenty of chances Iv tried every way to get her to do her job. I only started her after she was 2 and a half. they dont all work. thats not a jacker, the lad doesn't seem to know the score with this situation all he knows is the dog stopped running and wants to know if it will happen again. read into the situation not just the words. the dog DID NOT JACK. he burned out, without doubt. plus my friend you have just proven to everyone you are in no position to comment on this topic and tell this inexperienced guy what to do. first time stopping for this dog rit..... you say "shoot it", yet you say about your terrier that you gave it several chances and kept trying it.. so obviously YOU didn't "shoot it" when i thought you were a firm believer in this type of thing.... and you go on further to say that the dog was 2.5 years old, approx 30months right, approx 19 months older than the lurcher you have a gun pointed at for trying its heart out. you waited till yours was mature to make sure she wasn't gonna do it.and mithe i add sahe is ovr 3 now and still alive... strange. i think mate you will find you have just proved all my previous points, and in an argumentative way you are agreeing with me..... oh and i wasn't asking the about your terrier in any way, you brought up the comment on your terrier. this thread is not about you im afraid, i just used your earlier statement about your dog to use it as an example, i think most of us that tried to give an honest opionon to an honest question are saying the same thing so i guess we cant all be wrong baldockbanks.did YOU not read the previous posts......atb Edited March 3, 2011 by fox digger Quote Link to post
fox digger 1,086 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 firstly he didn't say the dog jacked, your missing the point, the dog is 11 months and possible got a five min hard run...how can anyone jump in and say yea the dog jacked and yea he's a dead loss and will def do it again... Bo***x in my opinion. im all for culling a dog that is not cutting the mustard or even a moderate dog that tries his best all the time but just not good enough. before that decision is made id at least wait untill the dog is mature and has had sufficient chance before you can properly say he's not the real deal. the dog is obviously gamey to stay on a course for 5mins with very little experience under his belt (remember 11 months old so work it out) so he obviously has some sort of potential. after puttin 11 month worth of time and grub into a pup i wouldn't mind holdin onto him for another few months to make sure, after all your judging a dog that simply burned himself out. you tell everyone about your terrier that jacked, i keep a lot of terriers, rear them from pups and enter them correctly, and thats only when there of the right age which this lurcher was not, ive yet to see one that goes into an earth and works 100% on there first attempt or second for that matter. so if a young terrier leaves a hole after having only been in once or twice before and got a hard time this time can you say that its a jacker and you'd cull it..... if so i tink you mite have jumped the gun on the one last week! so from my experience of dogs and reading your comments you cant tell me 1 million percent anything im afraid. and im kidding nobody by saying give a PUP a chance. What a good level headed post cheers wilf, he did ask for an opinion so i gave my 2 cents, sum guys on here seem determined to post outragous comments and then go into defensive mode once anyone questions their theorys!! atb, Quote Link to post
WILF 46,566 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Just my very uneducated opinion, but you cant say a lurcher is no good until it has had at least a couple of seasons as a mature adult getting enough game put in front of it......you cant make your mind up that a dog is a lost cause in 5 minutes, it takes long, hard consideration about all the factors in the equation. What I will say is, once you have made your mind up then get on with it, dont prolong the agony because mentally you will have gone away from the dog and life is short. In this case, I would say this episode tells you nothing about the dog or its abilities......you just cant make an opinion based on that one time. 2 Quote Link to post

A few more attitudes like this and I honestly beleive there would be alot more lurchers doing their thing insted of living in the the rescue centers ATB Quote Link to post

baldockbanks courser 598 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 not being funny fox digger but just saw a topic ( Im looking for a good coursing dog in ireland ) and you said " iV just bought a coursing pup thats a deerhound greyhound x collie whippet something or the other" ! That is not my idea of a coursing dog im not saying it wont be a good lurcher but its not a coursing dog. Iv got a 6 month deerhound greyhound at the minit. and I would not call that a coursing dog Im afraid. a coursing dog capable of running strong hares on big land and worthy of having a gamble on or putting in a single handed comp is breed from the best of the best usually saluki x lurchers.

baldockbanks courser 598 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 the reason people say they dont keep match dogs. Is that match dogs prove there selves under pressure. any one can have a dog and make statements about it killing 4/5 even if it is in irland and having been to limerick, clare and quite a few other places in ireland I didnt see one scrap of land that would test a lurcher one bit like boston, sleaford, chatteris or baldock while I was there. its good to talk! fetch your dog to any big decent proper coursing land in england next winter and I know a good dog "arthur" a proper match dog whos not affraid to put his good name on the line. anyone can have a world beater if no one sees them run.

Its like some one asking for a "digging dog" and me saying I know a russel x that bolts rabbits kills rats and stays to fox for five minits and is a good bolter. I wouldnt class that a digging dog just like there not coursing dogs. Quote Link to post

JACKING is a dog that stands watching game run off with no intent on catching it. Quote Link to post
GUN SHIP 2 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I,wonder , how many Good all round running dogs, are subject to a life of misery or death,due to peoples expetations of them through,books/websites and the like .IMO sounds like ,some folkes would be better off,getting a rifle rather than a dog.
