whippet 99 2,613 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 A big bad hunting dog would not be safe around kids,the average lurcher is,you may have an average jukel and not the big bad un some crave. I couldn't/wouldn't trust them but I have seen a big bad hunting dog around kids as soft as shite,..........but a big if ,they were to turn it would often be too late with a kid and aint worth the risk imho Quote Link to post

fitchet 788 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 My dogs are kenneled as thats the way i like workers kept. If they reach retirement they get a place in the house but only one has ever made it that far.i have a bull/greyhound here whos worked by me moat of the time but my ten year old bro likes him and will often pop round after achool and take him out for a mooch. The dog ritrieves to him and i can trust the dog enough to let my bro hunt qnything that pops up when there out. I could never trust my coursing dog enough though and ive seen some collie lurchers that were right evil b*****ds when deer were involved. Quote Link to post

Don't be fooled by his size mate he regurly punches above his wieght and has surprised a few lads with big 27tts running machines. My other half x bitch was only 23tts but she was some animal. We all had different opinions but I don't trust any dog fully with anything they are not machines they are flesh and bone and every dog can surprise you. I have a dog here that will bite any man who's stupid enough to be in my garden but if a small child is about is gentle as anything. All the best. 1 Quote Link to post

Thanks for explaining I think the lines "always watch a dog and child" and "never leave unattended" go without saying and just because a lad posts a pic of his dog and daughter having a cuddle it doesn't mean he nips off for a wank and leaves them alone for 20 minutes. I would never leave them unattended. Yes I've turned my back on occasions and I do trust the dog to a degree. But never say never. Not just aimed at you whippet99 but a few lads have said similar things. Quote Link to post
