County Durham area

[Kdogg82 4]

Hi all 

Completely new to working dogs. 

 Got a lurcher from the pound a few months ago and I'm interested in taking him to get some rabbits. 

Would like to do it all properly and above board. Anyone know the area and where I'm able to take him and maybe seek permission? 

 County Durham area, Chester Le Street.

I don't know your area pal but wish you all the best nice looking dog best thing I can suggest if you know any farmers/land owners start by asking them otherwise knock a few doors be polite say you'll always ring or knock before you come on will only take rabbits and show them your dog doesn't bother there sheep etc and you'll shut all gates and not climb there fences etc and don't be turning up fully camaflauged up with a car full best going on your own atb

Make sure the dogs 100% with stock firstbreak him to ferrets and get yourself some nets, locator etc, Be prepared for knockbacksbut persevere and you will find some permission, do you know anyone who can take you out? Show you the ropes? Nice looking dog by the wayatvb with it

Thanks for the replies. Yeah he's a big lad, always keen to get after the deer when I've seen them whilest on family walks. 

 Will test him round sheep next time I get chance!

I was the same when I got my pup. Get out and about and chatting to other lurcher owners. A bloke in the village tool a shine to my pup and offered to take me out. He ended up getting 2 pups himself after years off running dogs. I can use his permissions now and have a bit myself. Good luck

Visit afew local lurcher shows.they can be a good spot to meet like minded people and try and get a night out with them.

might be better off asking farmers for some ferreting first then lamping.
