white van man 3,329 Posted October 25, 2021 Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 Sorry to hear. Looked a great dog and something a bit different. Will you get another spaniel type lurcher? 1 Quote Link to post
Neal 1,873 Posted October 25, 2021 Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 So sorry for your loss. I loved reading about her and, as I've mentioned on here before, your writing about her even made me doubt my allegiance to kelpies and consider a gun dog or gun dog lurcher. 1 Quote Link to post
Luckee legs 472 Posted October 25, 2021 Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 Good that you were with her. I am sure you had lots of great times and if the dogs have a good life that's most important. Out of 10 in my lifetime I've had one dog suffer a fatal injury so while it's uncommon it's also a real risk. The balance of risk for me is seeing dogs (and ferrets) obviously loving every moment of working quarry 1 Quote Link to post
tatsblisters 9,989 Posted October 25, 2021 Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 Sad to hear this my mate lost his spaniel x whippet a wile back though it had an illness and he said he felt the loss of said dog more than any other he had ever had. I hope you get to the bottom of it mate just to put your mind at rest. 1 Quote Link to post

Will you get another spaniel type lurcher? If I get another lurcher in the future I would like spaniel in the mix for sure. Having it in the mix exceeded my expectations.....most lurchers I’ve had are happy to just walk the path....she’d be everywhere except the path sniffing and looking always busy plotting her next move. Might be tempted to get a smaller type in the future though....maybe a spaniel x terrier or something. These days everybody just wants to stick there nose in everybody else’s business when your out with the lurchers......too many do gooders. 1 Quote Link to post

Greb147 6,809 Posted October 25, 2021 Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 I remember the other year or so a video going around of a coursing dog that had been killed after getting impaled by from what i recall a cane. 1 Quote Link to post
