yes we would all like one like that but as you said there few

Have seen quite a few in my relative short life, but I believe if you are happy your dog does what you want it to then ok, as not all want or are capable of making a dog like this, I have retired from lamping but ran the dogs off the slip under control, currently ferret and mooch, like a clever trainable dog under control off the lead, responsive alert , hunts up, marks and retrieves what it catches, all these a must, and currently working towards with young lurcher, old lad nearly 9 does all this.

Sorry not a "HUNTING GUY" just a bloke(am i the only one left or have they all turned into guys)but i like dogs with massive hearts,good bodies and intelligence.This can only come through genes anything else is achieved through handling.

handling hunting sense feeding and breeding

Next year im going to get myself a lurcher, im hoping it will make me an inteligent field companion, I need it to mark rabbit, and catch bolters, be steady around the nets and ferrets. A good nose and hunting instinct.

If it was before the ban, I would have wanted the dog to be a good roe dog, and like you say whin, not mash the arse end up. It would have the chance to hunt up, and course hares but i wouldnt have minded if it wasnt a great hare dog, before the ban of course!

 

I have a specialist lurcher at the moment, which is not everyones cup of tea, but he does the job he was bred for and does it with great style and keen-ness! I would be stuck without him! And I will certainly replace him when he is too old for the graft.

 

Happy hunting all and merry christmas DnN

i dont have to dream ,it must be the way i am with dogs and the way i teach them young and the work they get , because in the last 30 plus years i have had 5 of these[1 i got now] and i have only owned 8 lurchers.

no mate,my dogs are lamping dogs and thats it..iv had plenty of lads come and run on my ground and all have said it tests the dogs to the limit..no need for hare coursing..my fox dog is called a remy 700 22-250 and i always give the fox atleast 250 yards slips ...as for ferreting i have a terrier.all i want out of my lurchers is to run at night.......

not realy like that mate ,but believe in testing a dog to all qaurry before i breed them only way to get sound dogs and keep the lines going , im blessed i can course lamp ferret all in the one day a not to far from house but you need the dogs to take the work load ,and to perform regulary ,ye i dont mean how it sounds but if you listen and learn youll no were i am comeing from mate ,as lots of people have lost the way on lurchers in general , and when i say run all over i no other guys have as i have a good few aqaintances , from usa to bloody spain who visit , no malum ment but i see the true lurcher going the way of most great or good things , im glad ive saw dogs worthy of being called good or better than good , cheers,honestyl mate a lurcher was bred to fill the table or butchers slab with what was on offer and if there game odd fox ask any man worth his salt what agood lurcher was bred for ,maybe people dont have the same time or dedicaition , such is life
