zigzag dan 784 Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 After reading some of the comments on here I can see how easy it is for Antis, CA, along with the short sightedness of lurcher owners to finally signal the death of the genuine working lurcher. All this " rather sell to non working pet homes" is completely wrong and eventually like alot of working dogs it will be bred out of them. Simple answer, don't breed off shite, only breed when needed, sort your mates out if required, personally I would rather PTS than deny a well bred dog the chance to do what it's bred to do. There's a reason why the same men continually have class livestock wether its, dogs, horses, pigeons etc, they think it all out beforehand. 2 Quote Link to post

And it'll only be lightly worked anyway. I have had big dogs in the past but only had whippet x for years. I don't need anything bigger. always planned on a three quarter cross next, but find myself getting more interested in a good working whippet. 1 Quote Link to post

If I breed a litter I always keep at least two and sort the lads close to me with a pup for free, thats enough to keep decent animals suited to what I do around me. I would rather sell surplus to pet homes than to so called working home messers....... AND I would rather chance a mating off something I have bred but has been reared in a pet home and never worked rather than take a chance on breeding I dont know. I couldnt give a toss if you think that is wrong Quote Link to post

joe ox 2,617 Posted May 8, 2021 Report Share Posted May 8, 2021 Coursing dogs, gundogs having been really strong money for decades but people on here twisting about paying any sort of decent money for lurchers bred to mooch and lamp that will give them pleasure for around a decade speaks volumes about them.

What makes you think I don’t know what I need and want and that I’m a messer. You’re meant to be some self appointed super serious proper dog man and spend half your life arguing with people you think are morons on an Internet forum and telling them what to do. Get a grip mate, it’s f*cking sad. now go have that cup of tea, it might make you chill out a little bit. I don’t suppose you’re vertically challenged by any chance ?
