I THINK Gafer had a beddy x that had a front leg off ? Not 100% tho sorry pal. If I am right then I believe he still has the dog and it still catches a few rabbits for him, fair play to the fella!

 

Regardless, hope your dog's alright pal!

Dogs usually adapt to this kind of shit better than we do because they don't waste time feeling sorry for themselves - they just get on with it. Look at this

Mine had his front leg off cost me £2000 there will be more pressure on the one foot and my dogs toes have calloused up an he runs better than he can walk but to be honest he doesn't no his legs gone he just gets on with it and had to adapt to having his leg off but it doesn't hold him back i still run him on rabbits but no where near as many as i used to. Hope this helps

Just this morning he was chasing rabbits in the bramble patches and jump up the trees for squirrels so it don't really bother him it just slowed him down but i hope ya dog is ok though pal

I would not pay £2000 to have a 3 legged lurcher..

 

PTS would be my option

For me it could be the best i've ever had but i'd still PTS.... Different people, different ways....

Been there myself and the break was too bad PTS. 'Twas a sad day, but I couldnt face leaveing him at home after the life the dog had lead before.

 

Hard call to make I can tell thee.

Whatever your choice, good luck
