DanAdams 10 Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Hi all, I'm wanting to get a lurcher in the near future to do a bit of daytime but mainly lamping. I was just wondering how much it cost to get everything including the dog and then how much roughly it will cost per week? Thanks Dan Quote Link to post

jack68 628 Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 I was not being funny or trying to be, but keeping running dogs can be a bottomless pit in vets bills alone if you have a bad knock to the dog...atb 1 Quote Link to post

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 I think your spot on Jack. How can you put a price on it? I know most of my spare cash goes on my dogs and the hobby. Either food, bedding, insurance, vehicle costs, fuel, medical stuff, Wellies, clothes, lamp, battery etc etc. There is always something to buy. This month I need a new chest freezer. Next month I want a decent coat for ferreting over the coming months after ripping mine last winter. I need some more purse nets aswell. I did 3 tanks of fuel last month lamping alone, that's £ a tank = £240. Not to mention court costs and fines when you accidentally lamp over the fence Quote Link to post
BIGLURKS 874 Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 I'd avg 200 a dog then 30 a month on food for first 12 month then 17 a month after plus about a 40 a year on wormers and fle stuff and you have kennel on too if dog is outside a good 300/400 depends if you got a pal that's a joiner could be cheaper or if in the house 40 on a crate then you could pick a k lamp set up for about 150 and then uve got petrol depends on we're your going and how much spare time all them estimates could be made lower if your willing too go cheaper on certain things like food kennel wormers just a high estimate Quote Link to post
