Never owned a good one

I never had an outstanding lurcher that was a one in a million dog how ever ive had the pleasure of hunting with 2 dogs of different breeding both owned by very good mates. 1. was a collie grey x collie grey called rebel this dog had balls to burn great taking foxes hares rabbits cats in high numbers also was great out digging marked holes and done his job outstandingly when out digging with out going into details, he took 4 foxes in one day out doing cover and didn't mind teeth. 2. the other is a bull grey called meg this bitch has put many a good dog to shame again she is a great taker of fox and all other game great around holes and both were great with stock and other dogs and a great marker of fox in holes. 1 thing that sticks in my mind these 1 in a million dogs are always in the right place at the right time every time they go out and I think this also helps in the making of these higher rated dogs. could it be a 6th sense or they could be just lucky ba$tards .

A deerhound type lurcher, bought from Dennis Brown when he lived in north yorkshire.

25" steel grey broken coated dog, sire was a track sprint greyhound, mother was an old deerhound type bitch that Dennis had for yrs.

my dog was a natural retreaver, jumped for fun.took everything from rats to fallow(this was 1993), great lamp dog and could bend the odd day light hare on small fields, very fast up and at em type.

took his first fox in a corn field at 10 mths old, he jumped a fence to find it .

was good on roe over the fields were i used to live.

broke his leg running a hare on a pit road that a friends springer put up in the middle of summer, kids on bikes, dog walkers etc and it got up and the dog ran it and cartwheeled over on rough waste ground.

i had his leg pinned and two days after his last vet visit he jumped my garden gate(first and last time) and messed it up again.

i was gutted and had him pts, last dog i ever let get to me.

This lad. Took anything I asked of him, was sound, loyal, and very effective. He was lovely around the house, easy in every way, and was a joy to own.
