Day Walkers

[baw 4,360]

You know what I'm sick of reading on here, day walkers bragging about their dogs and when it comes to the crunch, don't live up to the hype. It's f***ing easy to bum up a dog on here, get couple of your mates to agree or better still, have a few accounts yourself to verify the claims.

 

Take the Lucas and bulldozer match. Both dogs before the match killing 5/5, a 4,5,6 minute course the norm. That's half an hour of flat out running. Some dogs to do that. Plenty to back up the claims 'with me own eyes'. Best 2 dogs on the net if not the isles if you believe the hype. Finally we all get a chance to hear what these mighty hare slayers can do on the most worshipped ground....... 2 f***ing hares each. And at that one is a kick up, bravo, give me a pup pleeeeease.

 

Then the self claimed winner of the draw(yes the kick up merchant) goes on to race in the coveted forley cup. This cup has be heralded as the ultimate test for all lurchers, your dogs some dog to win this...... Only the best have done it..... Result? 3/3? 4/4? 5/5? No, 2 f***ing hares and one was already f***ing run!!!!

 

Now I'm only using these 2 dogs as examples of the bullshit that gets spewed on here on a daily bases. Iceman had a puppy competition, I glanced at it occasionally. Think it ran from August to May. These dogs were the offspring of super dogs that folk could recite the ancestory away back to roman times. Most of what I read the dogs were catching f**k all. Pups from legendary dogs, f**k all???? So I ask you, why the f**k do these dogs get bummed up to f**k but when it's time to show your hand, the owners are left standing with their pants down!!! Is it because its all just hype to sell pups? Surely not...

It's a sad fact that too many lurcher owners these days see their dogs as some sort of kudos thing. Whatever happened to the lurchers which went out quietly and worked with no fanfare,no shouting, no song and dance, and most of all no element of competition with other owners?

 

I though lurchers were supposed to be about hunting, not increasing their owners' profile or bigging up their egos. Seems to me that whilst there are plenty of people who do go out and quietly do their own thing with their dogs, it is mostly the 'daywalkers' (to use baw's words) that like to shout about their dogs to all and sundry.

 

There's always going to be an element of competition between like minded dog men/women, but the crazy money that is bet on matches has nothing to do with a friendly best of 3 morning out with a mate.

 

Another thing: why is it that the worst in any society get all the publicity, whilst the good, decent and 'keep your head down' brigade slip quietly away under the radar? And I bet there's twice as many really good dogs under the radar as there is in the limelight. Just because someone doesn't shout about what they've got doesn't mean they don't have it.
