villebones 4 Posted October 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 also i think they would put stamina in a lurcher as well as trainability yes but you can get that and a lot more from other breeds and shouldn't you be in bed The Army use unruley dogs not the police Yeah cheers And urmm im in bed on my laptop The police do use rescue dogs or dogs donated by the public. My old gsd was given in too the police Found out she was dog aggressive so gave her too us Didnt tell us tho did they. Dragged me across the park after a collie once Quote Link to post

Back Stabbath 1 Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 (edited) Your a bit wrong there, the police dont use any special lines!! In fact most of their dogs come from pet homes who donate them for being too unruley or dissobedient etc... Ha, just shows how much knowledge the police (and 'gardai') have about dogs.... a police/working dog should come from East German working lines. No show lines whatsoever. A dog can't do both properly, don't care what anyone says. Put under pressure, those police dogs will crack. A lot of American cops have it right. But anyway - I've said it before, but I know of a GSDxDoberman catching hares during the day of his own accord, by running them into herds of cattle to confuse them. If you want a GSD as a worker, get schutzhund lines, esp. East German. Don't get dogs with show titles. Straight backs and gernerally more black or sable coloured than most GSD's are the dogs you're looking for as workers. He will hunt for you. My dobe is showing strong interest, only been out once and no rabbits were out, but I'm sure he'll bring some home. Good luck Edited October 21, 2008 by Back Stabbath Quote Link to post

allgame 0 Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 big dogs can catch. not sure about the uk but i know the australian army just takes dogs that are donated or from the pound Quote Link to post
spep21 0 Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I thought the GSD show lines in the UK had dodgy back legs and hips, they would need a zimmer frame to catch a rabbit or do police work surely. Back to your question mate I would get a whip/grey myself, loads of speed for the rabbits and not too big either, good dogs mate Quote Link to post
chb lad 7 Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 my bullx takes rabbits not a problem Quote Link to post
Kye 77 Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 All three of our stags will take rabbits and hares...i personaly think its bollocks about big dogs struggling on small game. Kye,.. this is the bro,s dog 33tts and 100lb...you wont get much bigger and he took 12/12 lampin a few weeks back.....very good ferretin too...so i think even thiugh the bigger dogs ae slower on the turn and not as quick off the mark as a wippet we,ll say they can make it up with brains and a good strike.... Man, would love to see that lad on a nice winter coyote?...i sit pure Derrhound, or has it got Greyhound in it aswell?...im probably gonna breed my Staghound bitch when she comes in season next...i might put her dad back over her..not sure yet. Kye.. Quote Link to post
