micckey 106 Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 My question is what would suit me in a lurcher ,, I like a bit of lamping a early morning walk must be a bitch .To hunt a bit of anything I see .and bring back things I may shoot mark hunt up ... I know on here its hard to get straight answers without kennel blindness so ... I dont want a collie x they dont have enough courage ,, I dont want a bullx they have too much courage ,, I have no use for a saluki x as hares are just trouble these days .. I dont want a lurcher x lurcher ... everyone tells you to get the cross what they have ... Quote Link to post

matmorgan 49 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 one with decent parents doing the job.then its in your hands.imho most failures are probably the handlers fault. if your savy enough you could train most dogs to do most tasks so get a cross you like the look of and take your chance. atb.mat Quote Link to post
sandymere 8,263 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 A very broad brush of what you don't want! greyhounds are about as courageous as you can get so a 1/4 collie shouldn't lack courage in pursuit so saying a collie will lack courage is a nonsense, I ‘ve seem bull crosses that won’t tackle foxes so saying to much courage is also a nonsense and not wanting lurcher to lurcher why? Sounds like you'd not be wanting a lurcher. Quote Link to post

birddog 1,354 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 with no disrespect intended i think it would be best if you got yourself out and about with a few different guys who worked different types / breeds you'd maybe be better placed to make an informed decision, ie not all bull types are the same and some collie lines are all balls, a wee bit of research now could save much heartache later Quote Link to post
bush wacker 77 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 did the bull x not make the grade mate? what about the litter the yanky lass just bred?cant beat a collie based lurcher for a bit of lamping/mooching. Quote Link to post
