no wonder the lurcher game is the way it is

[Hannah4181 260]

There is so much hypocrisy on this site its laughable . . . . If you choose to breed a litter and raise them as pups should be raised then you have every right to sell them or give them away, they are your pups and its your choice. The bit about pet or working homes . . . . I would bet my house on the fact that there is a considerable amount of dogs in working homes in a MUCH poorer condition than in there are in pet homes, buying a dog and branding your self in the "working" catagory does not entitle you to treat that dog like its a machine, if anything given what you are asking of him, he deserves an even greater level of care.

 

So many morons use the term "hes a worker" as a license to keep a dog in poor conditions and lacking in all areas of his wellbeing . . . "but it aint a fat pet so its alright" . . . . i know i'd always prefer my pups to be brought as fat pets than brought by some of the tools who frequent the working dog world.

Had a litter of pups there for sale, there all away now. The amount of idiots that foned and spoke utter nonsence and questions that u would never ask. People haggling with you is the worst thing, it makes you feel like your dogs are not worth the asking price and as if your selling shite, couple of the pups went to non working homes but they were the ones that were there with right amount of money and picked there pup within 5 minutes, a guy even foned me and said a want a pup of you but your dropping it off to me in sussex and I'm glasgow, seen litters of spaniels going for 500 a pup and no haggling no texting or bullshit, just good dog men known what they wanted and not minding the price, atb john

whats worse is folk like you moaning on about it. If you didn't sell the pups in the first place you wouldn't have experienced what you did, in other words you caused the problem yourself. Too many folk willing to breed but unwilling to cull. You're dogs might be the best in he country but if you're just wanting pups for yourself why sell?

Corky john I've kept my 2 back, sires owner took 2, had 4 left, am not goin to keep six pups for myself and I don't agree with cullin, I like to look at the full litter when there up and take my pick and if anythin happens to my pups or bitch I will have a few people to ask to get that type of line back, if am goin for a pup and I know its the type I want I won't mind paying the asking price because I know that dog will give me a 100 percent in years to come.

cant speak for every dog lad but i like to think they get feed as athlets as they are just that... and they go to working homes ....but theres no shame in selling pups or giving them as long thay go to working homes, jmop....i had a litter 7 months ago and gave them to a few good lads and it was for this and this allone to see what they worked like in diffrant working situations that i could not get the dogs in to ............as iam in it for the sport for the dogs and what thay can do .......8 mounth ago i had a dog that was begged off me, one lad offored me money and a so called mate beged it of me to the extent of building a new shed and run and he had it for free so you would thave thought it was going to a good working home 45mims............. it was at his house and then gone to his mate so by your best eforts theres no garentey that they go to working homes .....and as for the having dog that are failed by one owner and you having it as a working dog in your kennel must set the standard pretty low as a working home in fact why would you have a failed dog in a working kennel settleing for second best and then breeding from these is why theres that much shit in the dog game, and this is why a dog game is in this state.................have fun and i hope your dogs work as well as mine all the best x38

fact is though mate the lurcher world is full of pricks ive seen some of these idiot dog lads buy a dog off a dealer have it barely a week then sell it on for less then half the original price seen some lads have dogs given an the previous owners never even bother to take em out yet under new owners first night on lamp run like seasoned veterans, dont ever judge a lurcher by what some dick in street says judge it on what you see it do as i do,, ive seen some good an a do mean very good lurchers pass through idiots hands the games full of em

fair enough mate but each to their own. If I'd only wanted 4 pups thats the size of the litter, no surplus. Some might argue you're taking a chance & might be getting rid of decent pups but thats the chance you take. Whats worse are the wankers who keep huge litters on a bitch. Remember one person keeping 14 pups on a deerhoundx & selling the majority. Peddlars...make all the f*****g excuses you want but making money from dogs should be left to the KC brigade

my bitch had her litter last year 3 pups 1 bitch 2 dogs ,kept pup sold bitch both for working gave other dog for pet all be it to a good home but very much regret that now.. at the time wasnt a bad idea but now i would prefer him to be working,, will never give a dog from working stock as a pet again ,,,,,,,,

if you breed good qaulity pups bred from generaitions of workers coursers why cull sell to good hunting homes , and if you no your dogs you no what ones have the pysical capabilities to give to serous hunting lads ,and maybe others to less strenous hunters ,there nothin in life for nothing , and i wouldnt dream of taking a pup for nothing always pay or barter , dogs giving away for nothing a lot dont respect them the same ,you by a car knife hunting gear agood dogs part of that attire so make sense to pay

[poacherman 353]

If you advertised well bred pups for free u would have 100 fone calls in the first hour with all sorts of rift raft wanting a dog to f**k up and waste, you can't trust some people in the lurcher game either, havnt to go and meet people in car parks just incase they come back and empty your kennels that night

One of the reasons i would never consider breeding a litter of lurchers these days.
