The Working Lurcher

[blane5626 8]

Just read the working lurcher found it a good read and really interesting what other books would anyone recommend to someone trying to find out as much as I can before I get a working dog?

Without getting slated plummers lurcher training book not a bad book.

A dvd called Purdeys Progress is very good. Books can't really teach you much, better chatting to folk and sorting the wheat from the chaff. Unfortunately we all learn a lot through trial and error............

Tbh that's what I would like to do but because I am moving from canterbury to Inverness next month I don't see the point of trying to meet people round this area just because of the time frame that's why I am asking for more information about the breed and having a better knowledge about lurchers before I buy one and make a mess ov thing if you get we're i am coming from

You won't go wrong with B Plummer books, there a good read IMO

blane. wait till you are settled and once you know what the grounds like and what quarry is plentyfull this will help you decide what type of lurcher will suit you. i would also recomend purdy's progress as a first rate training aid. and read as much as you can. if nothing else it will keep you interested. good luck fella.

[blane5626 8]
