Philip,we are now an ancient breed that still recognise a true lurcher,the majority of folk now would,nt recognise a lurcher that marked a warren,pushed cover to a net,took an hare of its seat,used its fecking nose to find game and could run without the aid of a lamp or being tossed out of a 4+4.The average collie bred lurcher was always more Einstein that its owner,The average Bull x now as more nous than the average lurcher owner,so how the feck is the collie lurcher expected to adapt to modern ownership.

Not every modern day young Lurcher owner buys in to the you need bull blood in a Lurcher for it to be good some of us still stick an have faith in the old school bred gear ticks all the boxes for all aspects of Lurcher work day/night some of us are smart enough to train our dogs An want the best out of our dogs us modern day lot are not all in need of a point an aim merchant

I allways think when they put a bull x to anything it only benefits the bull cross lol.

There’s a guy on the fb I’m on that uses spaniel x bedlington x whippets great little cross he does really well with them

Not many about, but if you like mooching about and you want something to hunt catch and carry.....handy enjoyable dog to have about. You'll get better lamping dogs ( if we're talking half cross spaniel) but for fun daytime hunting they take some beating.

I have a 10 year old cocker dog here he never stops. finds anything someone shot a fox one day andi did not know and he was trying like f**k to fetch it out the brambles, I would have a lurcher off him in a heartbeat no probs.
