big jack 0 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Hello, Had lurchers for 12 years now - and found this site a few weeks ago and get a buzz reading it. Don't go out to hunt as such, but do go for walks to places where I know there will be quarry and sometimes, well hounds will be hounds. It never ceases to amaze me how a dog that can be so soft and friendly with everybody from kids to codgers turns into a hunting machine. My old lurcher (saluki cross greyhound/deerhound) in his prime would take anything: foxes (1 1/2); pheasants, a crow, rabbits, muntjac and other deers (with his dog chums) and a cat (sadly, when I was an inexperienced handler) - but never snatched a hare - with or without fair ground. And I never trained him even though I got him as an 11-week old pup. Love meeting other lurchers and their owners in the highways and byways of South Oxfordshire. Occasionally get to meet what I'd call a proper hunting lurcherman. Could talk luchers and the like all day. Have just acquired a whippet cross collie/greyhound, so looking forward to seeing how he develops, happy hunting, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
