hounds and patterdales don't go as fast as a lurcher and not in the dark sometimes either.

Patterdales have a nasty habit of bumping into stuff in the dark too

Unfortunately for a lot of lurcher owners they are on first name terms with the vets! I had all three of mine with stitches within a month of each other last season!!! I know some say stich it yourself but if it's bad I think you have to get a professional to do it.. normally a professional out of hours!

It cost what it costs never scrimp.or scrape as far as the dogs are concerned nothing but the best for mine and feck the vets better people out there

Touch wood never had a dog banged up in the night in the woods I had one killed in the day but hadn't brought her up from pup I walk and hunt mine through woods at a young age

[neems 2,406]

Only got the one dog at the moment,he costs about £200-250 a year,excluding vet bills which he hasn't had for a while now.

 

People buy shite for their dogs,'treats' as far as I'm concerned are left overs and free bones from the butchers.

Iv been in the lurcher game since I was about 7 years old Iv never once had to go to the vets for an injury on any of mine or any of them I grew up with, if the injury is going to ruin the dog for life it's pts if the injury is something the dog can get over after abit of tlc and patients then it's done by either myself or someone I know, I'm not saying iv not had dogs get on abit of trouble I even had one break it's neck running a rabbit but touch wood I am lucky enough to stay well clear of the vets

[dytkos 17,784]

£2 a day tops for 6/7 months of the year, 50p a day for the other 5 (hopefully ) vets/boosters about £100 a year.

Thats about it apart from if they get vet treatment for injuries etc.

Unless you factor in every single thing, leads, petrol, washing bedding, wear and tear on your shoes etc etc etc

 

Cheers, D.
