Guest greengrass123 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 WHAT STRAIN OF LURCHER IS THE HARDEST TO TRAIN, SALUKI BASED, OR TERRIER STRAIN OR BULL X, WONT INCLUDE COLLIE CROSSES FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. Quote Link to post
Lurcherlovr 0 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 I don't know, but my Saluki Greyhound is great at training, but surprisingly my GSD Greyhound is the worst dog I've ever known for training but we don't work them, they can go where they can hunt if they want to, but were not fussed, the Saluki X doesn't know what to do and the GSD X is a natural one, he has caught and killed things, and at least weekly has caught something if let down the lake, if not more, although at one time he met a Fox, and none of them got too much damage to them as they were both young, and I think both were surprised to see each other Quote Link to post

gaz 284 Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Any lurcher irrelevant of its breeding or dog for that matter can be a pain in the arse to train if its in the wrong hands or maybe the novice...the more you put in,the more you get out of em,with a fair dose of patience along the way Quote Link to post

Mars 42 Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 I.M.O. It`s as much about Your character as the dogs, If you`ve got a short fuse then perhaps a collie type is not for you as i.m.o. they can be a tad sensitive, Simba i agree Bull X .... Easy.... Yis Mars.. Quote Link to post
