paulsmithy83 567 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 its always a risk with any pup you get, and suppose more so if you put a 16 hour drive in. but these pups you get hell of a good chance of a good lurcher from these breeding. both are good proven workers , the dam done fair bit, and ive seen the sire work very good dog, I like bit of bull in a lurcher, and these pups deff worth the travel , feck me done 10 hours just to catch game lol, get a pup of haymin (Jim) I dont think you will go wrong With how small uk is there is no excuse. If you gonna commit to a pup properly a jump in the car is no trouble or if you cant drive transporters are cheap enough. Like you said most of us comited guys travel the length and breath the uk just to hunt. I really do hope these pups turn out good or decent but in reality it all a gamble just breed best to best and really hope luck is on your side as in dog game you really need it. One things for sure haymin seems to be giving them the best start so hopefully onwards and upwards 3 Quote Link to post
Ross M 149 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Anyone that even hinted towards thats distance is to far wouldn't be getting a pup off me full stop. Think about it 3 Quote Link to post
Gareth12 225 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 If anywhere in uk is 'too far' to travel for a dog that could give 10+ years of loyal service then people are better off without a dog imo. Pups look nice. Got your work cut out there matey, look like their gonna be well looked after hope they get the homes they deserve. 1 Quote Link to post
