labsnlurchers 39 Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Here we have Keano, he is a lurcher dog approximately 5 years old and has had a very bad time of late. We are not 100% on his breeding but he stands 27"tts. We first found him when we went to look at a dog that someone off here wanted to buy but wanted it looked over first. Keano was chained in the yard when we got there. It took me 2 weeks to get the dog as the lad wouldnt sell him but i persiveered and managed to bring him home. He had a warm shower and a hot meal and started recouperating. When we got him we knew we couldnt keep him but simply couldnt leave him in the state he was in. He is still not 100% but is not very far off now. When we got him he had bubbles under his skin and these went and gave way to an abcess on his neck which has now gone leaving a bald patch (where i shaved him to drain it) He had kennel sores all of which have healed and only one scar is very noticable now. His tail keeps bleeding though because we cant stop him wagging it and he bangs it on things but this is alot better and there is only 1 small scab left. He is good with other dogs, fantastic with children and a really freindly dog. My partner saw him work about 18 months ago and say's he was a good lamping dog on the rabbits but the lad who had him didnt work him on them very often, he used him for fox. He has started coughing the past 10 days when he gets excited or goes out for a walk which i think is just a fitness thing, its not a very bad cough and is definately not kennel cough as our others dont have it, it doesnt reall bother him and im pretty sure that it will go as he gets back to fitness. Good home is most important and i dont want anything for him so i will be picky about where he goes, dont take offence please, its just he deserves the best after what he's been through.
