fenny 0 Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 I went and bought a pup a few days ago. I've been looking for a certain 'type' of lurcher for some weeks. I'm perfectly happy with him even if I did have to bath him as soon as I got him home. Yes the yard and kennels stunk to high heavens, yes he gave me a false address, yes the house windows had been boarded up, yes, he lied about his phone number. Yes he liked to talk, but so do I. Yes he spun me patter but frankly I just disregarded most of it as I work on the principle that my old Dad taught me which is "if someone wants your money, disregard anything they tell you about the thing they want you to buy". The dam was with the pups. The pup I have is healthy and lively and learns *fast*. Within 24 hours, he knows 'sit', 'down' and 'paw'. Frankly I don't care how the man lives if he treats his animals well. I must admit that as an ex breeder, I'd be a bit concerned if I still had 5 pups left at over 9 weeks old, but that's not my business. Unless you know the man, have met the man or been to his property then it's not fair to slag him off. In the end I paid £500 for him, which was more than I wanted to pay for a pup, but since it was the only litter of the type I was looking for within a 50 miles radius of me so I was happy. Now the dog might be sneered at by some, he will never be hunted, but if he does what *I* want him to do, then I'm happy. Quote Link to post

Why would you need a certain type of lurcher if your never going to allow it to do what it's bred to do . 2 Quote Link to post
