The bone collector 19 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Hello, I'm a new member looking for experienced lurcher lads in Liverpool or nearby to get my dog a start and show me the ropes. My dog is a six month old saluki x greyhound / deerhound x bull from working parents and is very keen already. She gets on well with dogs and is obedient, recall is good and she retrieves amongst other things. I joined hoping to meet lads that know the score with dogs and can show me how it works, or even someone new with a dog and similar interests. Thanks. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bosun11 537 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Hello and welcome to the forum, Liverpool is a city that has plenty of lads who work dogs, i'd be very surprised if you don't know of any local. There is a club also, The Merseyside Working Terrier & Lurcher Club, founded in 1980. Lot's of Scouse lads on here too. My advice would be, get a feel of things on here. It can be difficult for lads to 'welcome' and take out newbies in this current climate but stick around and contribute on here, folk will then get a feel for you, if your genuine or not, then things may start to open up for you.

Bosun11 537 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 I'm originally from Anfield, 42 years there. One or two lads still round there that work dogs too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The bone collector 19 Posted January 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Thanks for the responses lads, and the welcome. Yeah I'm an anfield/Everton native myself, I've met a few lads around parks and exchanged numbers but no invites yet, they all love my dog I think it's just them needing to get used to me being an outsider to be honest. Ryan if you fancy a mooch mate let me know, I'm a complete beginner so I could do with knowing a few game fair spots ( if that's the correct term?) Atuddy and Bosun, same for you if you're about I'm well game for a little mooch anywhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryancarney1 0 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 We've tried stanley park for a few rats mate but none seem to be there no more as they use to, just squirrels mostly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The bone collector 19 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Yeah there's not a lot in the parks mate, and you have to watch out for the van man! I'm gonna try crocky park next as I was told by an older fella that there are a lot of lads working up there, good place to meet and maybe get involved with some seasoned pro's.

Bosun11 537 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Crocky Park is just about the hottest place in or around the city. Personally, i wouldn't walk a lurcher or terrier near the place! Sure plenty still go over there but they live local and know the place and even they get nicked..!! I really am at a bit of a loss here fellas, if you've met a few folk local, they should direct you to local specks for a few rats or rabbits and even without the info, surely you have an idea... Christ, you only have to walk round any Mackys shrubbery at night and you'll kill rats, let alone any old waste ground in a big city....! Stanley Park and Crocky Park are simply the worst places you could mention or go, let alone put up on an open forum such as this....! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The bone collector 19 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Yeah mate you're right, amateurs mistake there, apologies. I'll keep it coded from here on in. I know if I dig deeper I'll come across a few suitable spots, I'll do a bit of train hopping. Thanks mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
