'dog Men'

[TheLurcherBoy 69]

Was talking to one of my friends and he said he was a one of the biggest dog man of the age of 15 going... The funny thing is he hasn't ever kept a lurcher for more than 2/3 months!! What does be goin through some lads heads I'm 15 have had two lurchers first lurcher had to get rid after a year as he was to head strong for me and the lurcher I have now I have had her for 2years and she won't be goin anywhere!!! Just wondering why do you lads think dogs ar passed around so much? Money? Dirt dogs? Bad owners?

If you have and work lurchers for years and years I class that as a dog man not for 2-3 months ffs tel ya pal to wake up kid its in ya blood not a passing fad as for dogs getting passed on I think it because some dogs are just plain shit but most are ruins by trying them before they have chance to mature and like ya pal thinking he is gods gift to lurcher work best thing you could do is fuk him off and get to know an old time dog man a true dog man who will learn you how its done properly

i think when you start cocking your leg on the lamp post and you start mounting the neighbours legs and you go around marking the area you live in i think then people will class you as a dogman,they will call you other names aswell,

Your asking a question about passing dogs around when you've already passed a dog on because "it was to head strong" sometimes good things in life don't just happen and you need too put the work in and have some patience , which you obviously couldn't be arsed doing. Surely that's a bad owner? We've all had head strong dogs, maybe if you had a bit more dedication to the game and experience you would have overcame it.

Hunting is bred into you, see these guys who take up hunting, get a dog, they always seem to be the ones who shout the loudest, will get bored with it and move on. Use excuses like, got a family, got married etc. see the real dogmen, they're the ones who have it coursing through their veins. We all get days when we can't be arsed but you take a break abroad etc, your itching to get back out. I started with fishing then ferreting then dogs, but I served my time as game carrier, it was the way back then. Begging to go with the older lads, them letting you cos they knew you'd carry the rabbits. Next trip you were back at them to take you again. When you finally got your own dog, you were so proud of it. It could have been the biggest pile of shit going about but it was yours. You learned off each other through mistakes, the bond was strong. It wasn't like today where technology means you have the choice of hundreds of dogs, you got what was available, local. If I get a pup it's here for life, none of that it was too head strong pish, that's a cop out. We are in a buy, bin, replace world now and sadly that includes the modern 'dogman'. Changed days from when I was a lad

You don't know the story mate. The lad could have been badly advised and ended up with a heart breakingly head strong dog for a first time animal. Rehoming it may well have been best for both man and beast.

snap dont know about bred into you none of my family were into dogs or ferreting i just loved it and still do

[Suzy Ross 236]

My mates like that, only one in his family that's ever hunted, he's as passionate as anyone. He's been doing it since a kid though so it's in em

[bullx 12]

i have had lurchers and longdogs all my life,my father had them before me,[pot fillers],i have bred a few good one and i have bred shit,but i like to my dogs and like to experment with different breeds of lurchers,i dont sell dogs on if they dont make the grade,if they are of no use they either go to a home as a pet or they are put to sleep,i dont class myself as a dog man but i think i have a good eye in what i want in a running dog and thats whats is all about.

Some of the best dogs iv clapped eyes on have been head strong feckers and not just lurchers, He asked about dog men, IMO I think a good dog man should try his hardest to overcome the challenge he's got and reep the rewards when it all clicks, wanted too much too soon I think, failed the dog in training, who knows but he got rid of a young dog, he's only 15 he said so like you said maybe bad mentoring or bad advice, either way me personally even at 15 i would have been a bit more dedicated but that's just me and my outlook on it, I think we both probably know deep down it wasn't the dogs fault.

he said he's 15 now and has his dog 2 years that would mean he was 12 or 13 when he rehomed his first dog. a very head strong dog would be to much for most 13 year olds so give the lad a break. you never saw the dog or the young lad so you cant say anything about his dedication.

I can, because he's posted about it on an open forum, at 13 yo I would have spent every waking hour out and about if I could, I don't know the circumstances so I can't go in deeper but he asked why there was so many dogs passed about then said he got rid of a dog because it was too head strong, so not enough research on the breeds in the mix? Gave up too early? Bad mentoring? Lack of training? Lack of work? Who knows but IMO and it is MY OPINION giving up on a young dog because its too head strong is a shite excuse.
