Lurchers That Dont Jump

[leegreen 2,221]

If your in a tight spot (with no head clearance or run up) and your worried about your doggy put your arm across the fence and get your dog to jump across there, simples!

I would soon get pissed with a dog that couldn't jump a gate. Any lurcher should be able to piss a 5 bar gate imo. ffs I know spaniels that can clear 5 bar gates so a lurcher should sail over. Just simply from a practicality point.

ive got a 10 year old and a 14 year old that jump them daily and have done all there lives, jumping is as much a part of lurcher work as retrieving is, if you want to wrap it in cotton wool then stick to fly ball

 

anybody that runs dogs knows that jumping is an essential part of the dog working

Mine clears fences without ever touching the wire but will not jump a gate for anything the funny fecker. Luckily there's not many fences here mainly ditches. He's nearly nacked himself a few times on ditches on the lamp too.

If your dog couldn't jump down here then you'd spend all day carrying them, ok if you keep paris hilton lurchers.

I tell my bitch NOT to jump fences like that. Feck risking a vets bill for the sake of 5 seconds putting the dog over the fence.

 

Each to there own though. I'm glad my bitch does jump. Handy at night with full hands etc. But there's certainly times when I say in my head "Dont jump that girl. Wait for me!"

right then here goes.

 

my old bitch jumps barb wire everyday on the farm. one day i took her out on the lamp to catch a rabbit for tea. we were only out 10 mins with two in the bag. on the second rabbit she clipped a fence that she had jumped a thousand times before. there was no yelp and she continued to course and catch the rabbit i slipped her on. i got home and popped her in her run with her food and she ate it and jumped into her bed. there was no blood or any sign of pain.

i went to take the dogs for there morning run and noticed that something wasn't right with her. i checked her over to find a massive tear in her thigh. a trip to the vets and a £500 bill later

 

she still jumps to this day. it''s not practical for me to lift 3 lurchers over every fence

 

it was just one of those things.

 

i could get run over if i cross the road

its no surprise how many lurchers do not jump, for one reason or the other , just gets back ta the old excuses breed it in him, and theyll jump wether thee wants im to or not to me a none jumper is and does not fall in to the class of a lurcher, i have watched coursing bred stock jump like stags on the run and in general exercise , there be no excuxes for the none jumper more so in the general lurcher type . atb bunnys.

to me a lurcher that wont jump is the next best thing to a chocalate teapot .lol.one of the easiest things to teach a lurcher pup .

[torchey 1,328]

My older dog never jumped and it never bothered me in the slightest because the ground i worked had f**k all to jump ,,,,then i took him to some ground with stone walls and had to chuck him over every one needless to say my younger dog jumps like a fecking roo
