Introducing myself and my Bitch

[LunarJim 0]

Hi All

Ive recently become interested in Lurchers and Ive looked into it and bought my first.

Im a total novice and all advice good or bad is welcome.

I bought my pup last weekend and ive started the house training.

Id booked an Hancock Bitch but Id read a little on here and thought id take no risk and buy from a bitch id seen work.

Here she is any tips????

Glad I bought her now Im hoping she dosent make much above 21" my brother bought a paedigree whippet 6 months ago but without the pedigree (cheaper) and its 22" now and a bitch. I think it may grow more but he reckons it wont

I want her for a bit of daytime fun rabbits

well shes smooth atm but it can all change really fast when they grow a bit, no way of knowing is there, though i have heard that if they have whiskers they will be rough or broken coated...doesnt matter as long as its a good quality coat. probs be around the same size as the parents since they arent too different in size. my advice is to have fun with her and dont start her too early, be patient, you can ruin a good dog by starting it too early despite what people on here might say. safest bet is a year, but you could go for about ten months if the growth plates arent still showing much. :welcomeani:

Whats growth plates??
