PM me it on Facebook . Well done on coming forward . Now we are standing at just four dogs from all the people who come on here and talk about working dogs!

this is part the reason people with lurchers get a bad name people just don't put the time and effort into training them while they are young a lot are locked in a pen till a year old and people don't seem to understand why they are getting pulled round a field by there four legged friend they let it of and it wont come back simply you get out what you put in

I would put up with a half decent lurcher that's well trained than a great disobedient dog that sent you over the edge ever time you took it out but each to there own

I simply cannot understand how anyone can hunt without their dog being at least fairly well obedience trained. Still at four dogs - where are ALL of these trained working lurchers?

Albert surely by now you've figured it out that most of these 'solely' hunting folk are just a bunch of moans. They moan about the showing.....they give off about the racing and then you and others put on events for them to show off their dogs skills and guess what.....they clear off and hide in their closets!!!!!

Are you crazy Sammy? It's taken me nearly two years to get my dog to chase a plastic bag!!!!!! To sit, retrieve and other obedience skills......phew.....no way mate....that's way out of my league.......i'll leave that to the real hunting men

[vermin catcher 219]

you forgot to mention mate, that it may have taken you two years but she is chasing that plastic bag very very well at the minute And when you say you leave that to real hunting men, is that also why I seem to carry everything when we are out and also do all of the digging? ....chancer!!!

[AlbertJ 569]

Well now - that could be two more men for the DEMO - Dazzam and VERMIIN CATCHER!

When you said you didn't mind digging i thought you were politely saying "leave the digging to me". Hey!! thats gratitude for you.....you try and help someone by letting them do the things they enjoy and then they slag you of for it. Just glad we didn't have to do any digging in that graveyard the other day

Hi Albert

Was wondering how many have taken up the challenge ?

It would be good to see double figures at least.
