tdavepat 8 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 the springer is getting better slowly and i do give her a mini mars bar when she does well Are you quite sure that you want to breed of a dog that won't retrieve and a bitch that eats her retrieve. I take it you'll cut down on the chocolate intake when her teeth rot and she can't eat her retrieve. Dave Link to post

tdavepat 8 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Dave, I think it's a wind up... They're back to school soon... I thought so as I was thinking and typing but couldn't resist the dig. He'll end up with a litter that will only chase ice-cream vans. Dave Link to post
brookie 1,193 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 some one ought to ring the local asylum and ask to check and see if all the doors are locked Link to post
Guest thetruth Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 well thanks lads , i think i've been in the game long enough to see a winner . and for you information i didnt see anyone thinking a lab cross was a bad idea . infact im going to be using a superior gun dog. and as for the ice cream gag yeah ha ha very funny , at least mine won't chase carrier bags Link to post
Guest night time my time Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) always thought it would be an intresting x ,retrieveing instinct,good hunting abilty and nose,bags of stamina,etc but the short queen ann yype legs of the ess has been the thing thats put me off,i think its the kind of x you would have to do then run on so you could show people what they are before you could start selling them as a working lurcher,good luck with the pups,sure you havnt just had an acidental mateing?? you'd have to yse a stright hound to start with Edited January 4, 2009 by night time my time Link to post
moonlighter 1,163 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 got to be a joke. who would breed off 2 dogs that arn't proven and 100%. and even more who would buy them?? Link to post
Guest thetruth Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 moonlighter , the lurcher comes from proven working stock and has never thrown a bad one. the springer i was told is from good working stock. come on guys no need for the negative comments Link to post

dogman89 0 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 if the dogs just a pup then whats the point in breeding from a dog that isnt a seasoned proven worker? i wouldnt think of breeding one of my running dogs until they were atleast 5 and have proved them selves on all quarry Link to post
moonlighter 1,163 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 thought the lurcher is only a puppy so how do you know how good it is? also the reason you want to add the springer is for retrieving and you said it dont do that propperly because it eats it.lol. Link to post
