Would You Breed From It

[bird 9,889]

First off, i'm with Stabba on this one, 'game' isn't a word we should use for lurchers, no matter how they are bred. Secondly if any dog just stood and watched its quarry get away from the other side of a gate sommats wrong. Even if the dumb fecker has no idea how to negotiate the obsticle the least it should be doing would be going nuts.

If you think its so good on quarry then breed from it but by putting a doubting post up on here i honestly think you'll have doubts about the litter if you use it. Why spend so much time with that in your head, shit like that'll do you no good. Nope, IMO find sommat that ticks all the boxes for you. They are out there

yeh most would run along the edge line, even if the quarry went through the edge, trying see keep sight of it. In my book all lurchers should jump gates etc , feck picking them up and lifting them, you certainly wouldn't want to lift my younger dog all night long , but he will chase game to a edge or gate and go over after it, he as few times run and gone right over a fence in one movement, and it as worried me as you never know what on the other side .But rather have one like him that just goes for it, not a thinker like feckin Bryn is now, he as changed as he got older, he was keen as Buck when younger, bloody colliexs .lol

dog may be game(although i hate that term in a lurcher)but sounds like it's thick as 2 short planks also. Even a half brained cur would at least run up and down hedge/fence line looking for an opening to continue the chase. Infact i don't think iv'e ever seen a dog just out and out stop like the aforementioned animal.

Sorry stabba the dog dose that chum but when he has lost site his head go's and you have to catch him up very quickly cause you don't know what he's going to do next

 

Sounds just like 2 dogs i was thinking of,I knew how they were brought up,The one was prob the best natural dog i ever saw,was lucky to be out once a week would still out run mine,Was a liability around stock,eventually decided hitting stuff hurt .

Not saying you should or shouldnt better of making your own mistakes than someone else`s .

Hard to compare a dog that has training and one that has next to non.

Well if it's part of your landscape and it aint doing it, why are you even contemplating taking it on?

If the breedings right then the biggest influence on a mutts development is the kennel it resides in.

My mistake, thought you were thinking of buying the dog

Don't know why you need to come on here to ask if you've seen it in action, if it's got the minerals then I wouldn't give a toss if it couldn't jump, you can train the offspring.
