Rogue and running dog 26 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 I'd only class myself as a "young un" in the game of lurchers! But round me there seems to be plenty of young uns with no knowledge running bull x's because the harder the dog the bigger their ego is boosted! I'm not saying this is all bull x owners just the ones round here! It's a shame I'd love to have someone to show me the ropes properly! The one bloke I had a lot of respect for in the game died before I got my 1st lurcher! But very few people run real running dogs that Pre ban could have run a hare well! Hopefully my pup will get as close as she can to the real thing as she can and will hopefully retrieve shot ones as well as catching penty of rabbits but time will tell! RIP dave Quote Link to post
old real tree 92 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Quite a lot i'n my area, I too would consider myself as a newbe with only 4 seasons of running lurchers under my belt. Quote Link to post
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 In the last few seasons I've seen numbers increase so in the last 20 years they must of increased 10 fold or more. Quote Link to post
