Are they any more than a track dog or can they be turned round regardless of age and back ground

Some people say they can make decent dogs; but the ones I've seen have had immense prey drive, too much, if thats possible !! They will usualy have a go at anything, but also usualy end up killing themselves,or taking injuries that leads to them being PTS ! Saw two good track dogs excersizing on a golf course when a roe lifted...one broke a hock, the other broke it's neck ! Saw one course a hare and end up with a broken wrist broken tail and ripped from neck to tail on barbed wire !! I had an ex trackdog, seemed fine until it killed a Poodle on the beach one day !! I think they are better for breeding Lurchers from , than trying to be Lurchers ! LOL !

 

Cheers.

if reared from a pup as a lurcher it would be a differant kettle of fish but majority of ex track dogs will be a liabilaty to use as a lurcher but have seen it done in fact had one myself 40 year ago but not very succesfully if the truth be told .
