help on dog asap

[shropshire-lad 9]

Hi i have some land here. and been looking for a dog to help for ferreting and coursing on the land. i have found a lad by me that is selling a colie whipit greyhound bitch 5 months old, what you think about the breed, as i know the age is spot on and its stock broken can have it for 50 pound, i asked why he is selling it, and he said he is looking for a running dog, i asked for racing he said no for hunting,?? ant that what they are for. and he is trying to sell it me to night or 1st thing ??

sounds slightly dodgy that he's trying to get rid of it tonight or tommorow morning, but £50, worth a punt

Go and have a look if your interested, if you like it and its a nice natured healthy dog then go for it but don't let the lad blag you into buying it if it isn't what you want because he sounds like a complete nob.

That not polite is it. so i got the age wrong its not like the dog is going to go to a bad home as i only go for rescue dogs and have one old rescued gun dog. So this time i am looking for a dog for me and hunting with.

Make sure it's not too timid and nervous. If its a bit under weight you can sort that but make sure it moves ok and dosnt seem odd, if you know what I mean.
