Recommended Posts

 

 

 

was thinking this the day what mistakes have u made with ur own dogs that u wish u could take back and not do again truthfully my biggest one would of been buying 2 dogs at the same time and focusing on one dog more then the other and one not reaching the standard of the other that I favoured more also hitting a dog out of frustration and anger cos it destroyed a kitchen that made it always a little bit off with me it took a long time too rebuild the trust with this dog wich was my own foult for having it in the house and letting my anger get too me so truthfully what are the biggest mistakes use have made that u wish u could take back and redo

 

honest post mate, prob for me getting another 2nd dog .My pup ok never going to be like Bryn regards catching rabbits, but Bryn hard act to follow for (any) lurcher really, and my pup seems bit on the sensitve side might be his age 6 months old, or his temp coming through, you got to treat him really with kid gloves ,or its no good. No i think prob its my age 60 now, that maybe i should have finished with Bryn, as working a lurcher (proper) i think you got to fit+ young to give and get the best out of them, not saying you got to be 20 years old lol , but the older you get it does get harder with giving the dogs proper nights work a full day out.I will keep on and and keep ploding on till it getts to much for me watch this space :yes:

do you not think it keeps you active though? and you'd go downhill quicker if you weren't putting the miles in with the dogs, even if it is a lot harder?

thats a fair age to be still working running dogs :tongue2: ,fairpaly to ye mate....atb... :thumbs:

 

 

thanks mate, yeh Rob...... having lurchers does keep you fit+active, you+ do still have the buzz for day ferrting or hard night in the lamp, ive had some good nights last+this seaon with Bryn had good bags , his last bag was 31 rabbits great night that ,and he run well he is 5 1/2, he dont miss many where ever you take him. :yes: But it does take it out of you. you mind up for it, but your body not as keen lol .Ilove lurchers all xs have done for years, but as said prob should have finished with the game with Bryn when he can no longer do his jobs day+night. :yes: I will try my best with Buck my pup, but it will be hard as the fecker as Brill stamina now , the fecker will go all day+ night , he never tires lol , i just try to keep fit and take it month to month .!! and see how i feel .?

Starting a young lurcher on the lamp without teaching recall first. Ruined a great dog.(Tosser)

Running a dog too hard to the point it was staggering with exhaustion.( Feckin idiot.)

Running a dog with a loose collar which caught in a barbed wire fence as it was jumping.( Arsehole)

Kenneling two bitches-result fighting, and bad injuries. (Amateur)

Always having one too many dogs.
