Lurchers catching Pheasants and Feather?

[wag 13]

Typical: after saying that yesterday about wood pigeon, I go out this morning and nearly come back with a green woodpecker! It was searching for ants next to the undergrowth around the base of an oak tree and the bitch stalked it. I thought its "laughing" as it made off would put her off but as they fly quite low she kept going after it occasionaly jumping up at it. I had a beardie cross once who tried it on with a heron and a canada goose

 

funny you should say about canda geese i do alot of shooting i had a terrier he was a red lakeland real leggy no good for earth work but he loved going out with the gun would retriev anything we was out one day in the season walking round a lake were i shoot and some came over and i dropped two one landed in the water and he swam out and retrived it it took him about 10 mins but he got it he is now retired and lives with my mum but still gets out now and then with me

Its no big deal retreiving from water.....some lurchers i have seen are like bloody otters in the water...

can be quite embarrassing when walking around the local fishing lake and next minute SPLOSH the long -legged dumbo tries a belly flop for a malard....fishermen not happy bunnies........lol.....

 

Just another examnple of the lurchers versitility.....good hunting......

both of mine have cought all manner of birds. the kelpie cross comes out with me to retrive shot pheasants at night.

 

and about 2 weeks ago they both tried to retrive a heron that was standing in the middle of a field. but they both bottled it when it pecked out at them

Great pics Gimpazoid!

 

All of my dogs be they terriers or lurchers have worked on water....all except the wheaten cross bitch...she wouldn't go near it for some reason. But she would take it on land when she could

 

 

My current lurcher has taken loads of pheasants and ducks and is steady as a rock with poultry. It pays to get the hard work done in the early months
