Think it's easier indoors don't have to worry about keeping them warm when they come back wet after working on cold nights Quote Link to post

Giro 2,648 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I have them in and out depending on whats going on with me routine ~ work ~ hunting. Cant leave one in the run when the other gose lamping, they would both howl and bark. If they as left alone or togther in the day they are silent they just know they are missing the lamping. Got one dog in the house at the moment it had a toe off,so I like to limit its movement in a crate. Its regularly excersised however at my terms no free running~ dashing about. From my own experiance when the dogs are outside they have better coats.. My kennels are fort knocks CCTV the lot dog theifs are riffe. I Recon if someone traveled to nick your mutt and it was in the house They would do a window and still nick the dog. Quote Link to post
DogFox123 1,379 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 In my opinion it doesnt matter where the dog lives as long as it has the drive and ability , poachers in the old days had dog in house and they would run rings round todays dogs taking fur , feather day or night with no expensive lamps just man and dog under the moonlight Stop readihg books or listening to old men, mate ! The dogs of today are fitter, better fed, better trained and better bred than "the old days" !! Believe me !! Cheers. I disagree as there are a lot more idiots about these days, not many men have the knowledge. Back in the day lurchers were kept to fill the pot, today they are mostly used for sport. Plus most lurchers outhere are not bred best to best so there's no real improvement. I guess the coursing dogs have improved through careful breedings over the years but don't agree with the lurchers being any better than years ago Quote Link to post
