johnny boy68 11,726 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Good advice from reddawn, always best to get a pup if you can. The key to getting your first lurcher is patience as you'll have years with the dog and the wrong choice can cloud your outlook of having working dogs. Good luck with whatever choice you make mate.

skycat 6,173 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Please be patient and get a decent puppy. There may be nothing wrong with this 13 month old lurcher, but there may be everything wrong with it! Unless you are very experienced ( and even then you won't know just from looking at it) this dog could have all sorts of issues: it may not have had any training/socialisation (which means it may be fine in its own kennel, but a bag of nerves when you take it out). You would really be much better off getting a pup: that way you can learn together, make your own mistakes (which you will: we all do when we are learning) but most importantly you will have a pup that bonds with you straight away. There ARE good pups up and down the country, but to someone new to lurchers it seems very much a 'closed shop' when you try to find a well bred pup from good working parents. I know of two good Collie bred litters on the way at the moment, and if you pm me your details I will pass them on to the breeders. These are one off litters bred for the owners' own use, and most pups are already spoken for, but there may be some spare. They haven't yet been born, which shows how many people want them. I've sent you a pm. 6 Quote Link to post

reddawn 2,173 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 skycat an northernlite well done for trying to get the guy sorted, i firmly beleive that a pup is the best way to go, im not saying folk should never get an older dog, but a pup makes far more sense to me for the reasons skycat has already pointed out, there is also a litter of pups advertised on here, normaly i wouldnt tell anybody to buy a pup off this site, but in this case i know an can/will vouch for lamp+battery an his dogs, so much so that my ferreting partner has got himself 1, an only reason i never is i got a pup on now, take skycat or northernlites offer mate, either that or go an have a look at lamp+batterys litter, either way im sure youll get what ye want Quote Link to post
