Has anyone used a Lurcher for stalking?

[JimRun 5]

I have seen Lurchers used for bits of roughshooting but nothing on them tracking deer. Just wondering if anyone here had any stories or information.

Collie lurchers are brilliant stalkers.

Id be glad of anything with a nose when following up a wounded deer in cover.

 Some lurchers can be extremely versatile...

 I believe a canny lurcher would be capable of finding a deer,..dead or alive...

For the record ,ANY dog can bloodtrail .There is no mystery to it whatsoever.

Lurchers make great stalking dogs, finding shot deer shouldn't be a problem, I would go with a collie x or some kind of cattle dog. Atb j

Even an 8 month old pup can do it

My Bedlington Terrier finds lost Deer and has never been trained to do it.

                                           

Bedlingtons make great deer dogs, and I also know one lad that uses his bedy for wildfowling and he says his bitch is as good as any gun dog. The bedlington will fill many roles from hawk dog to ratting.how old is your bedy and what lines. What else do you work with it. Looks a nice dog mate. I have a soft spot for bedlington terriers, my opinion they are the best terrier.

Here is one she tracked last night. It had gone the opposite way to what I thought so without her I'd have been looking for ages and never found it.

Nice looking dog Tyla, a dog I always wanted to try was a Airedale terrier, it nearly happened a couple of year ago, but alas not to be,

Thanks Darren. She handy enough, Jack of all trades and master of none but good at the tracking

She makes you happy mate, she tries for you and that is worth a fortune, your a wealthy man for that, there’s a lot of people would give there right hand for that, I have just come back tonight with a mate who wants his big lab to stalk, I took him in one of my woods, I followed behind, and watched and gave guidance, it was a pleasure to watch, the dogs first stalk, he’s going to be a lucky bloke the dog has real potential, nothing shot but out again in morning,
