Its a funny one. Ive nee in work, outside, all day. Getting rained on and wind blowing on my face. Finished the day knackered, heading home and all I want to do is go to bed and sleep!

Now I've got home and the wind is blowing etc all I can think about is heading out with the dog. Problem is can't go out round here till midnight!

Thats what I do mate, and will probably do same tomorrow etc etc. Usual routine is home, sleep, get up midnight go out, few hours when I come back and back to work!

Interesting reading this - see folk giving interesting opinions learnt from experience, some having a laugh and little wind up, and some proving they dont know shit from toothpaste.

As usual.

If you've not owned a lurcher then you're a novice, better to accept it now lol. I've owned two lurchers , over ten years and class myself as a amateur /novice. I've grown up with dogs and been around them all my life. You might land lucky and get something that's got the right temperament to suit you, or pick the right pup, or have a pup with enough prey drive, or pick something that's hanging off the back of a horse at 10 months old, there's not much point in saying five breeds and hoping it has a pinch of all the good attributes and none of the bad you might have six in the mix it looks like one acts like the other and has no trace of the other four..... but enjoy it , good luck finding the pup

I know im a novice with Lurchers thats why I am here asking for advise. However i have a lot of experience with dogs in general. Anyway its a facinating subject which I am enjoying reading about and getting plenty of tips just reading the thread.

[terryd 8,738]

Easy to live with factors into it. Also a full on type won't care if your down the park or in the woods if some gets up its going in. So consider that too 

[TelephonePete 111]

Well I only have one dog at a time. This is the first Bitch I have had and I like them if she is typical. Like I said earlier I have always fancied a Lurcher but it has to be a good companion Dog as well. Thats a cracking looking dog in the pic. Whats the breeding?

That’s why I went back to a halfx, they was best companion dogs for me as a youngster, I loved having a collie x greyhound about an after a few years of having other crosses I knew I wanted summat biddable but still able to do the few pest control jobs I need done, sure it was 2 years ago yesterday I was in cork collecting this kelpie/greyhound, still real glad I did, this bitch has been great for all I want

Hi whats special about a Kelpie compared with a Working Collie. I know nothing about Kelpies. I know what they are and what they do but no experience with the dog.
