kriti 274 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Most rescue sites insist on neutering which puts alot of people off. I understand the reasoning behind this but it does mean that most will only go to pet homes and not working homes. we must be talkin peddlars here then as why else would there be a problem if they'd had their kit removed? some people, if they have a good lurcher, like to keep the line, with the kit removed, no chance.

Guest WILF Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 In my opinion your better off getting a dog that is from proven working parents. Easier said than done though matey........so many world beaters in the for sale section that if you are not lucky enough to know lads who are really working dogs to the max and on the off chance they may be breeding a litter.......then you may just as well have a rescue as anything else. They can make the most amazing companions, dont know why that is......maybe they are just grateful for a second chance at life silly as that sounds. I have had a rescue, and you would do well to find a dog with as much guts.........she would have run through a wall to get her game . Quote Link to post
victor 10 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 alot of wankers over here will buy a staghound pup for 400$ and expect it to catch rabbits as soon as thay get home, and when it doesnt thay yell and go right off, and it's not on. my 2 mates have got stags and are so up their selvs about their shit dogs thay caNT REALISE THAT ANY DOG NEEDS TRANING. SO THEASE PUP DID COME FROM GREAT WORKING LINES BUT YOU HAVE TO PUT IN THE TIME TO get it out of them, sory for the caps lock. Quote Link to post
Orvis Priest 0 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 As long as it is fit and healthy and under key i have no probs with a rehoming centre. Better for the beast anyways. Quote Link to post
Paid 935 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I would rehome a rescue lurcher if I didnt have small children in the house. As I have small children, I will only get in pups. Quote Link to post

littlefish 587 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I had a look through that site. I thought it was a shame that there seemed to be so many ex-breeding pedigree type dogs on there - obviously used to churn out pups for the going rate then cast aside - puppy farmers disgust me Quote Link to post
