Tilly – A Tribute


Recommended Posts


Thanks everyone for your advice and compassion. I manned up today and had a look for a pup, which ended up with me getting one, I didn't think I would or could and nearly didn't. But with her sat by me now, I know it was the right thing to do, seems like a bit of a rush, but the house is too empty and the right mix for me came up an hour away from my home. I don't know her name yet, but she is a right lump and has put a smile on my face! Thanks once again.

nothing hurts like losing your first one,mine was over thirty years ago and i still remember that night,You did the right thing getting a pup though and better a shorter life lived happily than the existence some dogs get. When i think of the dogs i lost before there time, i think that they never had to get old and weaken ,hopefully they're running free somewhere else.

No what you are going through Sniffer.Lost one of my dogs last Thursday in a freak accident,she was just over two year old.Lost a dog years ago and could not bring myself to have another one for a couple of years.regretted that decision ever since.Picked me a pup up yesterday.Looks like we are both going to have a few sleepless nights but for better reasons.

All the best with the new pup.

I've been in the dog game a long, long time, and it doesn't get any easier when you loose a dog ! I had to PTS my old Doberman last year, and my 17 year old Saluki before that. As most are saying, get another pup, and start again. All the best, mate. :thumbs:

 

Cheers.

      **sorry for the double post**
      I know I'm probably going to get the piss severely ripped out of me for asking this, but
      Has anyone ever successfully trained a deaf lurcher (from two working parents and I own her 4 year old sister who is an awesome little bunny basher.) 
      Genetically she has potential, but...what do you experts think? 
      She's not a Double merle by the way, it's extreme piebald/white head. Her vision is perfect

      Evening all,
      I'm lucky enough to have first pick from a friends litter. He’s crossed his Saluki dog with his Collie Bull GH bitch. I’ve only seen videos of the litter as he’s based in UK. Few different characters in the litter, some sit reluctant off in the back ground others play among themselves two are incredibly forward one more than the other. 
       
      What key things do you look for when picking a litter? I’ve mostly ran mine on rabbits, reds and some others.
       
      Go stead,

      Just got this stunning little bitch, nearly 12 months old, Deerhound x Bedie grey.
      I used to go out with my dad's Lurchers when I was a kid but I'm a female in my 30's now and struggling to get back into the swing of things.
      I'd love to have this girl knocking down bunnies but I just don't know where to start, I've barely seen a rabbit or and other quarry since I moved here.
      Any of you experts in my area fancy giving me some advice/practical experience (hunting related only)
