Spot on i would say ....Some dog men have higher standards and what may be a world beater to some are at best average to others .

 

so your saying some one with high standards will always have shit dogs and some one with low will always have good dogs

Cant say ive ever seen what id call a great lurcher they all had a fault or downaide just depended how hard you wanted to look to find it.

is it necessary to grade yer dog now for others? i think this is why the dogs get stolen ,if you got a dog thats not up to your standard then  you need to decide how to deal with it ,thats a personal decision,all i ask is the dog you keep is an honest capable dog ,that wont show ye up in company ..he doesnt have to be a 5/5 or anything like that ,i like an all rounder.A dog that can take a bit of hardship if its put up to him but thats a steady animal around others and wont act the maggot at the wrong time ,(or any time)its good to have a dog you can throw in the car and know whatever arises he can deal with it in some shape and form..

I think your friends will tell you. Most can't see faults in dogs when their friends can. They would usually be on the critical side. I've only owned 2 exceptional dogs ( both bitchs and neither lurchers) nobody would argue that they weren't . When your mate says that's the best he seen in whatever field ahead of his own dog then that's as close as you get. Owned a few useful terriers that did their job but none i would call outstanding. They only pop up every decade.

Coursing mad you definitely are not right about making a average dog something special I see it all the time,a man goes in to the pub with a average dog after a few pints it's a world beeter. 

That's not what I meant
