Any Of You Worked A Greyhound

[dogmad riley 1,347]

coyote ain't it? 3 dogs will take longer than 1 on the kneck IMO, but again...I wouldn't base judgement on 3 unknown greyhounds on a coyote , we don't have them and what's 3 dogs? Could be the first they have ever seen, you just don't know for certain.

Think that's why the Internet is quite bad, people know about dogs they have never seen , and make assumptions.

ffs mods clean this thread up . the reasons i dont run greyhounds now. bad feet no stamina and injury prone.they also suffer in the eliments if they could be usefull no one would breed lurchers. best avoided in my honest opinion.

Cleaned... Apologies to anyone who had critical posts removed but i'm on a phone and edits can be difficult...

 

Right, if anyone else wants to put up anti fodder on here you'll be off the site sharpish... And for anyone who enjoys viewing such video nasties, either feck off to Youtube or register yourselves with some animal liberation bellends...

I said he was an anti months ago, as did a few others.

 

Back to the topic...

 

I've said for a long time that one day I will take a greyhound pup at 6 weeks old and get it out with my Moochers from day one. Around fences and hedges and woods and see how it turns out.

Good call Bosun

me to gaz 1989.i would like a pure grey from a pup,i'm actually surprised people aint got more of them.nice, fast 25'' tts seem's about right to me.it must just be the feet because all dogs will learn about hedges and such brought up from a pup actually none of my lurchers have ever got to grips with wire fences.

My next dog is Hancock 3/4. Can't wait. Like collie in a dog.

But 3/4 anything is more or less a greyhound.

How many lurchers that have bad feet? Splained, flat, and just crap. Iv honestly never seen a flat footed greyhound. Genuine. Probably down to people with greyhounds have knowledge about upkeep of dogs. But Iv not seen a lot of greyhounds, maybe 30/40.

dont now what hapend here but thanks for the yous full info lads

[morton 5,368]

from a pup the same way you would a lurcher and how did you fined it for staminer and durability ?

 

thanks.D

Ive worked a few,the reason for lurchers is they are a better working option.Greyhounds lack stamina and can never put a shift in,otherwise they are over your shoulders being carried home.

[morton 5,368]

we had one that ate everything it caught,we lamped it for a month thinking it would get out of the habbit, after eating the 1st 2 rabbits it wasnt fit to walk never mind run.we ran it again one night and she puked up the rabbits she had earlier eaten and we ran her again and she promptly ate the next 2 ..................you can probably guess her career ended after that..i gave up on the dream after her,stuck to lurchers..a safer bet

A greyhound bitch i owned retrieved full grown rabbits to hand,they looked like they had been through a mincer,she ate any bunny half grown,in seconds.

Your right about the bunnys been through a mincer, a mate had one she was an ex track dog and at 1st was a liability with small dogs but we put the time and she came good.

 

She would dispatch Fox with ease and would catch hare as good as any lurcher her prey drive was eminence. Rabbits she struggled with would always run on top of them but she did catch them eventually.

 

Always fancied a pup to bring in as a lurcher

One of the best fox dogs ive ever seen was a 29" blue greyhound dog,he mullered an hare or 2,alas an hard gruelling gallop followed shortly by another was the best he had to offer,then had to be rested for a few days to recover,any other greyhounds i owned fared little better.

she didn't have a bad recovery rate, but the same lad got another greyhound who wasn't 1/2 as good a dog his recovery rate was crap. Then one night we was running him and he dropped dead that was the end of him. He was a lot better on rabbits and also took Fox

Strange isn't it, but nature, a natural thing, you could get a greyhound, or whippet no training given and would naturally retrieve, live to hand rabbits, but would kill a hare,and leave it on the spot. Also very natural to to kill a fox, windpipe, instant
