Guest mush Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 could be lad but i still would keep wit colie cross very smart and will be an easy dog to train as ur first lurcher after that then work wit different breeds once u know wat u want out of ur dogs...... agree with you, and a 1/4 bred as a 1/2 bred will walk all over most first time owners.

Sorley x 32 Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Take time to think about what you want the dog to do. Also try and be honest and look at you, what sort of person you are, personality, patience levels. To be honest it doesn't really matter what dog you choose (to a degree), what matters most is how you and that dog get on. some crosses gonna need a lot more input from you to become what they have the potential to be. EG if you are not the patient typ[e avoid a dog with a lot of collie in. They can be real button pushers and get really test the patience. So require a lot of patience. Whatever dog you get I wish you all the best. Quote Link to post
