Guest smashygadge Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 na mate never seen them, a mate had her for 2 wks then got bored, i said id look after her till he rehomed her an ended up keepin her,belive you should keep a dog no matter once youv got it i got her at 8 half weeks thats my thinking you get more out in the end if you keep them for their good and bad you both learn each others bad pionts i found.well if it were a straight collie grey id defenitly put a greyhound back.now if its got saluki as well iam unsure.ive allready a few wanting a stud of him but im still hoping for a litter myself before i no he is up to the job bud Quote Link to post

BEARINATOR 2,867 Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Thats a cracking bitch big e, gilly try running dog addiction, any of frank sheardowns or brian plummers books. Merle was the first lurcher book i read and i've been reading dog books etc, ever since or join a lurcher club if there's one near you, as there members will help you out and take you out to show you the ropes. I'll have a look through my book collection and if there's any lurcher books i'll give you them Quote Link to post
threbb 0 Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 As most of you know im new to lurchers...heres a few questions.Whats better Dog Or Bitch or no comparison? .Would it be better to get a pup or a ready trained dog? Thanks in advance lol Dog.Pup Quote Link to post
threbb 0 Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Can you reccomend a book? Get the Darcy books "EXTREME LURCHERS" "RUNNING DOG ADDICTION" They wont show you how to build a kennel or other twaddle or tell bullshit like Plummer but they will show you what you can do with a lurcher.
