LaddyLurcher 261 Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Hi all, just wondering who's got experience with deerhound cross lurchers. I have heard they can take longer than other lurchers too mature, mine is nine month old now seems keen as mustard but don't want to rush and ruin it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LaddyLurcher 261 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 He caught a young rabbit other day while just out on a walk we do quite a few miles each day and he runs about and always seems to have some energy to spare so thinking maybe let him have a run on the lamp this is my first lurcher so I am still learning too.

leo1 134 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 In my opinion there only slow to start due to owners holding them back due to the myths of them taking a while to mature if the dogs out plenty there like any other lurcher, the more stuff they see at a young age the better. I've just took on a bitch that a mate bred it's not seen much and is nearly 3 and it's not upto much at all, picking and choosing runs etc. A had the fullbrother out a different litter an he was doing it from 10 month but he was sadly pts in January he would of been 6 last month 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
