BREEDING THE ULTIMATE LURCHER

[broonball 38]

I was told your first dog is your best dog, on the basis that it will teach you more than any dog after. Perfection as we know doesn't exist. Cheers

Yeah idiosynchrosies will definitely be there but the basics are surely the same? I can't speak from experience as I'm on dog number 1. A few old boys hav told me that. Cheers

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

 

I'd say that statement is anything BUT fact !! I'd hate to think I'd been in the dog game over 45 years and only had one good dog !!

 

Cheers.

 

I'm surprised you have had one good dog............... Lol

 

Sorry mate I couldn't resist ...

 

As for what baw said about poaching tools,, snares are good,,, but for all round, there's nowt better than a 22 rimmy with silencer... However if you are cought the sentence would be greater...

 

Back to the original question,, I'm not old enough to know anything of such legendary dogs,,, however a few year back the Warrener did a very interesting artical in the cmw , about the lurchers of old , and some of the warreners from Norfolk , he also put some old exchange and mart adverts in from a hundred years ago,, and quite a lot of the lurchers had Irish terrier in.

nobody buys a pup off 2 good parents thinking its going to be shite when it grows up we all hope and pray it will be the best dog weve ever had but with all the mixtures and combinations of genes in lurchers sometimes theres litter wastage a pup or two that doesnt make the grade. you could spend every hour of every day on the dog and it still wont be any good. i could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong

 

Good dogs are born, great dogs are made.

I've seen a far few good dogs made into crap dogs because of the man behind them. Same as I've seen dogs that people have deemed useless and better men have turned them around and made decent dogs of them.

Maybe that's why there are so many litters because people are always chasing the the ultimate hound and not making the best out of what they have.

And really if you need to hope and pray to get a good dog, maybe you should take up golf .
