My new lurcher...

[Gaz_1989 9,539]

I really aren't sure what's in her but shes a bloody good bitch.

 

Just had her out with the lamp to see how she behaved more than anything.

 

She walks to heel and watches the lamp like a hawk. If she can't see the rabbit she doesn't run the beam but if I tell her to get on then she stalks down the beam until she is close enough to see it then the chase is on.

 

If she is off the slip walking to heel and the lamp goes on and she sees it running then she is off like a shot without command. However we came across a badger, she started stalking the beam and I called her back to heel and she came, albeit reluctantly.

 

She ony had 2 runs and missed both but both were good runs which I think a fit lamp dog may of struggled with.

 

I didn't give her any more runs as I want to get her properly fit but to say I'm pleased with her is an understatement.

 

Thanks

It's just any excuse with some people isn't it!!!

 

(I'm hanging my head in shame )

Yeh he has died mate.

 

She is too good to be true.

 

£ for a 3 year old bitch, stock broken, works the lamp off slip and walks to heel, as obedient as they come.

 

The catch must be she doesn't retrieve lol.

[Millet 4,497]

If she don't retrieve it's not a major problem aslong as you are happy with her..

it'd be more of a ball ache if she didn't catch!

 

you are a jammy git, end of story!

 

look forward to seeing her in shape pal, I reckon she's gonna look pretty impressive!

[Gaz_1989 9,539]

Cheers lads.

 

I cant wait either. Just have to keep telling myself to take my time and work on the bond.

 

Plenty of time for catching next season

[Gaz_1989 9,539]

Couple of photos of her this morning.

 

She's in the house at the moment but her 14' x 4' kennel and run is coming this week.

 

Shes certainly getting me fit trying to get her fit, jogged 3 miles this morning. I was ready have a heart attack and she was wagging her tail. I was throwing the tennis ball every few fields aswell and she was fetching that while I jogged on and bringing it back to me.
