Lampalurcher 47 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 If you go in the greyhound section there was a bit in there about working greyhounds think a lot off people will be interested how your bitch is starting as they were discussing if a greyhound treated like a lurcher from a pup will work Quote Link to post

john rust 45 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Should of said when you see a. Good grey work it mint and mental, everything happens at a hundred miles an hour. There's no running up behind them and winding them down its in strike, in strike. If they miss at least the course was good, but I'm not a numbers man I just enjoy a dog working.

jordan g 4 Posted October 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 yh me to as long as i see a good course im not worried about the kill Quote Link to post
john rust 45 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 We have had some fun with that dog, he got it as a rescue feed it up and got it used to a new name, we walked the dogs down the canal and went for a pint. He said let's go in the field which was pend in and let him off for a run. We jump the fence and let him off the lead and he didn't move I let mine go and still didn't move so I put mine back on the lead next minute he was off , we tried calling him and nothing we started getting pissed off until we saw the hare he was after he coursed it and nailed it and brought it back to her dad( this was after 2 weeks of knowing him) and his words where" that's the best £60 I've ever spent" he's never looked back . Like I said he wasn't a big numbers dog but he would catch most game and give you a memory that would stick. Quote Link to post
