crorider 174 Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 why has it got to be rough coated............ Personal preference if that's alright with you? It will be a pet as well as tool. If theres rough coated dogs capable of doing the same job as smooth ones then i think it's important that i find my ideal looking bitch. I'm not the type to get rid of a dog, ill own it for life so i really dont see the harm in that. I'm pretty sure theres a lot of people on here with a preference for the way a dog looks and make a decision based on that. If all rough coated lurchers were a pile of shit in the field they wouldnt exist and even if they did i wouldnt want one 1 Quote Link to post

Do us all a favour mate give it a rest. It's quite clear what i want it for but as i said, theres rough coated dogs doing what smooth ones do and i prefer rough ones, simple.

crorider 174 Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Right incase anyone else thinks im retarded enough to think all rough coated lurchers are the same i think i should explain that i havent made a decision yet on the exact type im after. Thats the whole reason i started the topic. It'll primarily be running rabbits day and night on all diferrent types of ground, some really flinty with lots of cover. Most types of dog that bring a rough coat to a lurcher are generally hardy and tough with decent feet and extra coat around cover can surely never be a bad thing? Anyway anything that should make over 20tts will be considered, would prefer a type with early pace but generally a good all round lurcher type. Hope this clears things up for anyone whos confused Quote Link to post
crorider 174 Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Also im a fan of collie crosses but dont know much about beardies. I prefer them looks wise with a much better coat but Can anyone tell me how they compare to borders with brains, feet, stamina and speed? Cos i know decent borders are very fast dogs compared to anything that isnt sighthound Quote Link to post
