Anything by Plummer.

 

 

Only messing. Everyone will tell you to get out with your dog but I remember entering my first lurcher and wanting to soak up every single bit of info available, whether that was from hands on experience, advice from knowledgeable lads and not so knowledgeable lads or reading books and magazines.

And you don't want to make a single mistake and get the best out of your dog. Best of luck.

 

Scooby by J. Darcy is a good insight into the thrills and spills of rearing and entering a lurcher.

get a good gundog training book, the principles of mooching are little different from that of a gun dog

I used "Training the Roughshooter's Dog", by Peter Moxon, back in the 70's but it's a bit outdated these days. The advice on those vids is mostly spot on.

same one I used

Maybe I do things different but there's a big difference in entering a lurcher to a gundog.

Yes, basic training is principally the same and this lad says he's done a lot of that but entering is different.

Get yourself out and about with a lamper,easier said than done perhaps,yet you will learn more in one night,from a competent lamper,than you will from a library full of books.Don,t be fazed about starting out and expect to make mistakes,we all did,ask for a night out local to you and at a later date any decent lamper will allow you to let the youngster tag along for a couple of easy slips.

Thanks for all the advice guys much appreciated ill have a look at all the books said my missus cousin said I can join him when his season starts so fingers crossed I get out and watch/learn I really can't wait to learn the ways of the dog life it just seem to be the best way to hunt a man and his beast out in the wild what could be better atb guys .corey

It's completely up to you but if your after putting a lot of time into training your dog to a high standard which includes retrieving to hand and a quick recall sometimes, depending on your dogs temperament, bringing a pup out on the lamp with another dog can have a negative impact on him.

JMHO.
