stubblebasher 150 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 i have no pup at the moment, but thanks. Dont listen to rubbish from people who dont keep them ! There are many different lines and they cant all be lumped together.Some are as bidable and trainable as any other type of lurcher ,you need to get a pup out of that kind of stuff So you need to get a pup from a certain line for them to be bidable hmmmmmmmmmmmm, I can smell money Expect 2 dozen pms good man............ Whats wrong with different lines having different qualities !? Dont sell dogs !! Nothing wrong with it, but I'd expect a dog being bidable and trainable as one of the lowest qualities, wouldn't you? The actual thought there ardogs being bred that can't be trained is f*****g laughable. They can all be trained , it depends on the degree of trainig your talking about. I dont know what kind of lurcher work you do other than run a few hares in small fields, but if you choose to dismiss modern coursing dogs as rubbish , you are missing out big time . Do you think we re all wrong !? Tell me then, what level of training does a fen dog need compared to a running dog in Scotland? You lot have it easy with your point and shoot muts......... We hunt mate, i know thats a concept you guys find hard to grasp but look it up, it'll open a whole new way of life to you I hunt rabbits every day of the week, not a great deal of training is needed other than recall,stock breaking etc .One of my bitches is, like the others in her line, 100% natural retriever who will consistantly hunt,mark,catch and carry live back to hand no matter how many other dogs are around her .I have recently retired a coursing bred lamping bitch due to injury .She was as good, and as discaplined on the lamp as any non saluki! bred dog i have ever owned .They kill hares in paddocks and on the biggest fens when i do decide to point and shoot !
