Why would you pay silly prices for an exotic sighthound when you can buy homemade lurchers for much cheaper?

Maybe people are interested in an old exotic breed and giving it a go working, same as some people enjoy hunting with terrier breeds that are not worked much now. You wouldn't expect them to be as good as a line bred working lurcher but you might be surprised. I'd be interested to watch some of these exotic breeds at work. I also like to see the forgotten terrier breeds be given a chance.

Dout it, It was one evil gremlin of a dog, the foxes shit themselves when that ugly gremlin stuck its head round the corner they thought they were having some kind of acid induced nightmare and bolted at full speed with a bewildered look on there face

I had Australian Silky terriers as a kid and they were great ratters and rabbiters and would bolt foxes. I then bought a Cairn terrier from a pet shop for next to nothing as nobody over here knew what they were in those days and he couldn't sell him. He would also bolt foxes but the silkies were better ratters. I cross the Cairn over my best Silky bitch and the pups were all good hunters. Not working terriers by todays standards but I caught a lot with them and spent a lot of time with them hunting as a kid from about 12.

I got this lad when I was in Australia one time;

The buggers told me he was an "Australian Foxing Terrier", but I think they may have conned an old Pommy; I'm sure he's a Chihuahua ! LOL !

Still got him about 15 years later !

Cheers.
