bumpted twice in one week

[kane65 2]

bought a lurcher at the begining of last week for not alot of money. meant to have seen a few red ones. tryed it and jacked so nothing ventured nothing gained. bought bull cross of this sight for a fair bit cash with the thinking youve got to pay for what you get. with trial meant to have heart of lion. went to meet the lad. seemed spot on . nice guy. so took the dog . it looked as though its seen a bit and the guy assured me it game as.so thought what the hell i,ll take it . got it home 3 hours of having the dog had it tested. it was in and out like a yo yo. gutted . a spoke to the lad who says its never done that before and would refund my cash. yeah right cant get hold of him now just ringing out. starting to wonder if there is any descent lurcher lads left.

you should have asked him too take u out with the dog an let u see it before u parted with the cash mate

 

learn by ur mistakes mate thats all we can do

maybe getting a pup off the right stuff and putting the work into it and bringing it on yourself would maybe be a safer option? nothing wrong with getting in older dogs but you can never be sure what its past is......plus they just get passed around form pillar to post.

also letting the settle in its new enviroment would produce better results?

has it never crossed your mind , ;that folk only sell mature dogs becouse they are a waste of time!!! if the dogs were good they would have been kept ;;; just someones cast offs .golden rule do your reaserch before you buy .and you didnt ,!!..

Dogs need time to adjust to new owners, methods, etc. Maybe if you tried to put some fitness/training work in with the dog before just taking it out and expecting it to work straight away?

 

..plus I'd also be very careful about what I posted on an open forum about my activities...

Been for a few trials myself and drove mates to them, And honestly 98% of them wernt what they were made out to be and some FAR from it....

 

 

Its hard cause when you ring about a dog and the fellah on the other side of the phone sounds 100%, Ya come for a trial ect ect, You get there and then thats when the back peddleing starts, I think half of them feed you that much shit just so you'll go there and think fcuk it iam here now may aswell take it, Which in truth thats what happens......

 

 

The thing iv realised fellah people have different standards, What some people think are top class are other lads average old pot fill lurcher,

 

Anyone thats sell and up and running lurcher or dog for that matter shouldnt have a problem with showing you a trial if the sale is geninue, And to be honest i would even have a half hour walk in a park/couple of feilds with a young dog just too see what its recall ect like so you know EXACTLY what your buying before you leave......

THEY IS TO MANY PEOPLE BREEDING AND SELLING SHIT MACHINES ON HERE ,LIKE SAID ALREADY SOME DOGS WONT WORK FOR OTHER PEOPLE AND OTHERS DO HAVE OFF DAYS IVE BEEN DONE BEFORE OF A MUPPET CALLED BILLY FROM THIRSK ,

MORAL OF THE STORY IS TRY BEFORE YOU BUY

 

ONCE BITTEN TWICE SHY SPRINGS TO MIND

[nighteyes 275]

sorry mate but got no sympathy for people who get caught out buying ready made dogs just looking for the quick option rear on a pup then only got yourself to blame if it dont work out,[ GOOD adult working dogs forsale are very few and far between]

[Guest joball]

get a pup train it yourself! then theres only one person to blame.

[chartpolski 25,040]

It's EXTREMELY rare that a decent, adult dog is sold ! Even if there is a genuine reason for selling such a dog, they don't need to be advertised. If they are the least bit good, there will be people waiting to take them on ! And you've just realised there are dodgy people in the dog game ?? LOL !! Never buy an adult without a trial, or better still, get a well bred pup, from proven parents, and bring it on your self.

 

Cheers.

i dont think you can call it shit after testing it a few hours after dragging it away from its home give it time to settle with youmore than owt and dont expect miracles straight away its a dog not a machine
