Go out with people watch them work and how they work their dogs. Read books watch dvds on them go to some of the shows meet and talk to people think about what x you want and what quarry you want to hunt with it

Same as above-do your homework first and dont rush and buy the first dog you see-proven worker to worker breeding-the Real Dog Men/women will be more than happy to talk to you and not fill you full of shit(hopefully)Beware of the people who are selling dogs and are not so forthcoming with the breed info-ask to see photos or better still see the dam,sire doing abit-NO ONE sells a good dog-unless they giving up or you lucky enough to be gifted one from proven lines.all the best and good luck with finding the right dog-happy hunting.Bob

As said watch DVDs , go out with good hunters don't go with muppets . Don't rush into things take your time in learning and choosing a lurcher .

 

Look for a lurcher that suits your needs I.e size ect and make sure it will be suitable for the work you require it to do.
