House Lurchers, Work As Well As Any Kennel Cur,s

My dogs are in and out.i was talking about this with a mate last week and still cant make my mind up on it.kennel dogs walked and worked all they really look forward to is work? house dog has fire human contact all day/night sofa treats cuddling into to lass etc ha ha.so when they have been out 3or 4 nights a week and feeling tired/stiff will the house dog just roll over on the sofa for its belly tickled all night while kennel dog is bouncing on kennel door when it hears the leash hmmm? I think you might see more keeness in kennel dog when there older and have been worked hard

Good point that.

 

I reckon after 3/4 hard nights graft the dog bouncing most will be the one that's been rested on the sofa by the fire in-between shifts.

 

I know some lads have decent kennel setups, good insulation and heaters etc but there's plenty that don't. Some are lucky to see a piece of carpet.

Interesting opinion that blitz and in a way I can see the logic. However it could be said that a dg that is more accepted into the family environment would be more willing to graft for the owner...I've never been a fan of the treat them mean keep them keen approach but as I've said maybe I'm too soft??haha

Our house is busy, always kids and mates and family turning up, so I like having kennels in garden, just means if visitors here or we busy decorating or anything then mutts can get put away out way and I don't need to worry about them, I like feeding dogs in kennels aswell, can see what each dogs had whilst on its own and no raw meat getting dragged all over floors. However I do keep all my pups indoors upto a year old, usually depends on how much an arse hole the pup is lol, but point being I like em to be house trained, know the kids and the commotion that goes on here with a tribe a bratts and it also teacher pups that a kennel is like a house and they very rarely toilet in them, but I must confess I do like having dogs in house with us and I don't believe it makes the slightest bit of difference , if they make a mess, fooking clean it lol

Good post. The common sense approach ?

I guess we will never really know fella.

 

If there is a difference I doubt it's a big enough difference to warrant changing how you do things.

 

Just do what suits you ?

It seems most pepole like them in for there own well being, so they can say look at my killer lurcher all snuggled up next to the cat with the gas fire on haha you be feeding them farley rusk next , are some of these dogs as real as they get maide out to be , I know t jones gets out and seem to know the right spots were he can lamp 30 sitters and come home with a load , but any lurcher can do that you just gota find theright spots

Are you as real as you'd like us to think you are?

Judging by your posts on this thread alone your not long off the farley Rusk yourself.

This cheeky fooker has got it good indoors, but out, he's 100% worker.

Not allowed on furniture. Notice the 3 legs on floor, cheeky fooker

he only 12 month old in he phil , and seen a couple of rabbits

 

I know what you mean snapper about stinking in the house after a night out, but would just have to wash him down when home on top off gutting which will be a pain in the arse. He's 14 months in a couple of days, but don't see him not progressing coz he lives in the house mate. But I do remember what you said on a night out about yours living outside and how you think yours benefit from it. My little fella is his partner in crime indoors, so couldn't change it now anyway, for that reason. Might be a pain in the arse if I was to get another like mate. Not much room in my yard, If I had a decent garden then maybe it might of been different

[LaddyLurcher 261]

my two live in...it's no problem as long as you keep them clean and make them sleep on there own beds.

[lurchers 2,817]

Hen we are home the dogs are in with us once we go out or in bed they are in there kennels but there is no difference in working

[terryd 8,423]

indoors and a crate seems to work fine for mine. His very fine coat so easy to keep clean as well. Having a soft home life certainly hasn't dampened his drive thats for sure

I know mac was mate, rip fella. But I remember what you said about suki, and how you think she benefits from it. You got a decent size garden/kennel mate mine is to small. Your kennel would take up this yard probaby.
