Paid 935 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 I'm contemplating a pure saluki as my next working dog. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fitchet 788 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 I'm contemplating a pure saluki as my next working dog. Wasnt there a feller on here who used his for ferreting and lamping rabbits ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adam_Chuck 256 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 I love staffs would be the only pet dog I would have or maybe a wee rough coated terrier that could do a bit of bushing as well. Don't think theres a better pet that a good healthy staff. Lurchers also make good pets when mine retire thats what way they will spend the rest of their days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chid 6,439 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 collies, kelpie , acd , shepherds , lurchers , spaniels or a gsp and russells would be the ones id choose just because i like them the most lol but truth be told id own most breeds as long as they were a healthy breed id even own a mongrel ....

lurcher330 2,297 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I would love to be able to have one of these but since i cant ,i.m happy with my lurchers terriers and bull breeds 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Next dog I have is going to be a lurcher with a good dash of collie in it and if I ever get round to getting a shotgun licence I'll be getting a springer spaniel.. Wouldn't be without my little JRT, so I think I'll always have one about the house from now on I would love to be able to have one of these but since i cant ,i.m happy with my lurchers terriers and bull breeds They're impossible to domesticate, watched a program about them a few years back. Awesome pack hunters, by far the most successful canine when it comes to completing a hunt... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They've got something like a 90% average with their catch rate when they initialise a hunt.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
