guide lurchers for the blind

[jerry attrick 264]

has anyone got a lurcher that would be any good for a blind person to go lamping with ? what cross is it and what is its temperament like, is this behaviour natural or did it take much encouragement/training? what do you think would make a good lurcher for a blind lamper ?

 

We will not rest until blind and partially sighted lampers can enjoy the same freedom of movement as everyone else.

no its serious i am 98 now and find it difficult getting over the fields at night and my bull x greyhound pulling my arm off isnt funny at my age, tripping over is also bad because last time i tripped over i didn't get found until the next morning by a shepherd who was digging his sheep out of the snow, at my age i need a purpose bred dog

How do you know where to point the lamp?

Is there not someone that could take you out?

Get a beddy/whippet. Sounds just up your street.

Think somebody's on a wind up...

Of course,

but the topic is fairly in keeping with several others at the moment that are not intended to be wind ups

may not be a good idea mate these fields round here are flooded with massive puddles all over

may end in tears with your condition

Although having a blind lamping partner may be of some use from a comedy perspective
