some good replys here i guess the general consensus (yes i do no what that means jai ) is there is dogs for jobs but a dog that can do abit of everything is a well bred collie lurcher???? either way as long as we are all happy alls good

right first off this is to everyone on the site and IS NOT intended to cause any friction between members of the site but i f*****g love lurchers i could not imagine life without one about me!!! they are, in my opinion, the best working dogs in the countryside and without doubt the most versatile working dogs for all round hunting anything any other breed of dog can do in the field there will be a lurcher that given the chance could do it just as good people spend silly money on fat labs (sorry L-T ) and they end up with a dog that retrieves just aswell as a lurcher will people spend silly money on spaniel for hunting rough cover but end up with a dog that does it just as good as a lurcher will and after a lurcher has done all that they still can go lamping all night and ferreting the next day then of course pre ban they could be used on foxes,hares and deer providing the circumstances were all coherent with the law!!! apart from the terriers job id say there is NOTHING a well bred, well trained lurcher couldnt do that the most expensive gun dogs get field trail certificates for they truly are the best of the best :notworthy: :notworthy:

never seen one bolt a vixen from a tight rabbit warren in a whinny bank.. :tongue2:

I'd also add that in all walks of life most people and dogs you see are not fulfilling their full potential.

Thought of this last night after I logged off..

 

Working dogs aren't just divided into shooting dogs & lurchers.. You'd never train a lurcher that could trail scent a fox or work in a pack to the same standard as a foxhound, no matter how clever it was...
