It is a mongrel. The Chi or Yorkie are not working dogs First of all a lurcher by definition is a sighthound crossed with any other breed of of dog. Years ago the word lurcher may have only meant working dog or terrier crossed with a sighthound but not any more. Secondly a yorkie is a terrier which was bred for killing rats in clothing mills. Thats a working dog mate. And although the modern chihuahua is bred primalrily as a companion theyve been purposely scaled down over the years from a wild dog in mexico that survived by hunting all sorts of small mammals.

Is this your first lurcher? Have you worked a dog before? Yes its my first lurcher and no ive never worked one before, i bought it as a pet from someone who had an accidental mating. Only decided i want to work it after people with lurchers that see him run kept commenting that i should. And after seeing him nearly catch a rabbit that was only yards from a fence when he was a lot further away, i dont need to know anything about working a dog to see his potential for catching the odd rabbit.

You think as i have no experience of working a dog i should just let you mugs tell me my dog wont catch anything? Whats wrong with you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crorider 174 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 YOU DO NEED TO KNOW A LOT ABOUT A WORKING DOG WHAT THAT THING ISNT AWAY ONTO THE YORKIE FORUM SEE WHAT THEY THINK OFF IT This thread werent about my dog until somebody asked me what it is. From that point on a bunch of idiots cant get their heads round the fact that a ''toy lurcher'' could catch anything. And no youre claiming a yorkie wasnt a working dog??

You can probably go back in any dogs ancestry and find a dog which may have worked but it wont make it either a working dog or from working lines.

And although a yorkie might not be as good at ratting is a patterdale or bedlington, they are still used by some people, especially crossed with other terriers. i met somebody recently who has one crossed with a patterdale/jack russel and is apparently an outstanding bushing dog Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Because the odd yorkie can kill rats does not make the whole YT breed working dogs. It is like saying because one labrador is not good enough to be used as a guide dog for the blind, none of them can be used...get my drift? There is nothing new about cross bred terriers used for working...all of my terriers have been, or are cross breeds. The difference is, the crosses within the dogs were normally working dogs. A word of advice..... If you continue to tell people they are all wrong, whilst you are the only person who is right, whilst clearly having no knowledge about the subject you talk about. You will not be taken seriously As i said, enjoy your little dog for what it is, and give it a good life doing what it is obviously loves doing 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
