Keeps 403 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I have a 1/4 beardie 3/4 greyhound - can't fault him. I agree with Kya's comments. Quote Link to post
trader 0 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 they are as close to the old norfolk lurcher that you could get .regardless of what the others say whom breed these type of dogs. ive seen the adverts in the comics for norfolk lurchers/tumblers and they are no more norfolk than frank skinner Quote Link to post
Guest kya Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) love the dog and piks keeps . very nice .i thought i worked rough terrain but that looks a fine place. and i love them for their working ability . i would disagree with training ability . the first lurcher i owned was a beardie grey . and we taught and trained one another . and i found all ive had working is their nature. and nothing easier to stock train. very inteligent dogs probably somtimes a little headstrong. but ive only kept the dogs ,bitches probably a little easier Edited December 10, 2008 by kya Quote Link to post
