But it's got all the names . Yes but its probably got exceptionally lower than average prey drive and lower gear ratios to keep acceleration and pace to amanageable levels to ensure no nasty accidents like actually catching something. Those qualities they have been line breeding for years to achieve shoud lower the price! as most of the puppy peddlers on here seem to achieve those qualities without even trying.The in built toilet training capabilities my dog has them he just pisses anywhere and dont get me started on his social capabilities and lack of prey drive, f**k it litter coming when get a bitch with similar qualities. large deposits taken to ensure your on the list of vetted potential owners. 2 Quote Link to post
eastcoast 4,115 Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 The canine equivalent of alcohol free wine! I wonder if they sell rabbit friendly ferrets? 2 Quote Link to post
beast 1,884 Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 forget the price for a minute, its no more than any pedigree pets are going for and if folk are dumb enough t pay it thats their business if you bred a litter of workers, would you want them going to bunny hugger pet homes? think how many runners you see which dont even get off the lead because the pet owners worry that they will run off hunting. how many hunting dogs spend a life of frustration from not being allowed to work? but pet people still buy lurchers because they like them, not because they understand their requirements, to work hunt run etc go round any of the shows, how many of them dogs ever see a rabbit? let the pet people have their rubbish, the dogs will be happier than if the same people bought working dogs. and let us keep our hunting dogs separate, much kinder all round 1 Quote Link to post

eastcoast 4,115 Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Looking at it from a different perspective it's rather a bold claim. Similar to advertising terriers that are guaranteed to go to ground or lurcher pups that will HJKC. The house training thing maybe relevant. I have struggled in the past keeping dogs in the house because it's alien to them and not been part of the selection process behind their breeding. But eventually the penny drops. But little prey drive ? I would question that. And be surprised if it's true. Those pups will want to chase and catch. It will be there in them just under the surface and appear if the new owners aren't educated about it or know how to avoid it happening. 2 Quote Link to post

How many dogs/pups, of whatever breeding, have little or no hunting/prey drive? Practically none. When I was growing up, loads of lads my age, or a bit older, had mongrels/pets that u couldn't stop hunting if you tried! And that would be dogs/pets with very little sighthound, if any, in them. Plain facts are, most dogs, of whatever type/breed, will want to work Edited September 10, 2016 by shaaark 1 Quote Link to post
Squeamish5 309 Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Duckin disgraceful. From my point of view, as a non-hunter who yet enjoys living with a tall skinny long-nosed hound, there are plenty around, (discards from you hunting peeps) for those of us who appreciate the joy of a running dog, and have a home to offer them. People who breed surplus are c**ts. Simples. Quote Link to post

Was purely meant as a reflection on people who breed (and, indeed, buy) unnecessarily while there are dogs galore in rescues that will fit most dedicated responsible homes. 1 Quote Link to post

I just find it hard to believe that anyone, including the people that put that ad up, don't realise that almost any dog of any breeding will want to hunt, particularly with hound, spaniel, terrier or sighthound blood in them. And that list will more than likely be the majority of dogs owned in this country. Dogs are hunters, simple Quote Link to post
