jeemes 4,509 Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 My first lurcher was a wild one and showed feral traits for stealing food of any kind and later attacking sheep and almost any livestock but only if you wernt looking or near to him. The only things he couldnt catch were rabbits but if I were living wild I think Id go for mutton, its easier to catch and a lot more meat. He would always escape if he could and go off for days at a time. Never came back thin but he always did come back until one time he didnt, and that was that, and uphill ever since. 2 3 Quote Link to post

On the serious side the dog probably was highly intelligent as well but when they detach that far from the owner they are just wolves and worse than useless to us. 2 Quote Link to post
