Where Will Lurcher Be In 10-20 Year Time

[hunting hard 365]

There will definitely be a good lurcher in my yard anyway

[Neal 1,873]

When the hunting ban came in several people said we'd all move to 3/4 collies and bedlington whippets...it hasn't happened yet and I expect the variety will probably remain pretty steady.

Not been a great deal of change in 40 years apart from more saluki and bull crosses

I believe Saluki hybrids will always be around,Bull types seem to be on the wane even now,possibly because the type as been saturated with shite and ego.s.In 20 years time there will be another fashion accessory lurcher that will serve the same fools.

More to the point will there be any rabbits left in 20 years?

This debate was going on decades before the ban came into force ... It started when more and more commercial shoots started up and keepers became more aware of profit and loss and how much their job depended on making a profit ... They stopped turning a blind eye to lads taking the odd rabbit hare and deer and started clamping down and getting the police involved ... Nothing will change and lurchers will keep getting bred and people will keep trying breed better stronger faster dogs ... That's just human nature ........

And this, IS THE TRUTH!

Forgot to add...I thought it would go that way too! Fortunately there are enough people sticking to their guns and still working a variety of types.

P.S. put me down for one of those labradoodle x whippets...but can you add a smidgen of collie too...just for the merle colouring you understand!

 

P.P.S. please can somebody p.m. with how I can add emoticons to my posts as I've not been able to use them since I swapped to windows 10 and I'm fed up with all my posts sounding slightly sarcastic without them (add head smack or D'oh! here).

i lost the emotions when I started using my iPad,I can do the wink one an smiley face an that's it, I'm to much of a Luddite to work it out.

Dunno about the collie blood Neal,might make it lose its cute looks

There's more people into hunting and dogs than there was 20 years ago, so the band done nothing to deter people really has it lol

I wouldn't say there are more hunters today.

But there are definitely more pricks shouting about in on Facebook etc.
