BREEDING THE ULTIMATE LURCHER

[broonball 38]

i just think its down to modern times tho the need to move,guard stock over long distances(as well as put food on table) isnt there. the best base for this kind of dog could well be in another place where this is still a neccessity. i'll stick to me bitza and do what we can. cheers

I've put threads up in the past that all the best dogs are owned by guys unemployed. It's no big secret that the more stuff a dog sees the more it'll catch. Best advice I got when I was a lad with a 9 month pup, get it out, get it out, get it out...... Or was that what the old perv in the woods used to say...... See my memory

Something that always bothers me about these old poachers who used their dogs to survive, put food on the table, buy clothes by selling their ill got game...... Why use a dog!!!! It's another mouth to feed. My auld grandad god rest his cotton socks was an old poacher and a very good one. He never used a dog, his way was the wire..... Snared everything from rabbit, hare, pheasant, deer...... Never cost a thing. Snares easier to conceal too. Yes they can be found but so can the beam of a lamp or a f*****g dog. Easy to ditch snares and a hare than a dog, no injuries etc. if I was to live on my means to catch my living, I'd have 2 ferrets and snares over a dog any day. Dog just brings attention and is a luxury.

as the sayin goes (mind me spelling) you get 1 good dog but ya never get anover the the same fact

[whippet 99 2,613]

imo there is no such thing as the ultimate lurcher as people have different requirements from a dog which suit the owner but may not fullfill another mans needs.........

as the sayin goes (mind me spelling) you get 1 good dog but ya never get anover the the same fact

I ve heard that saying why is it fact ?

[Top Lamper 2k10 169]
