Guest jt750 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Im sorry mate. Most of my replies have been on lamping. Day time work is a totally different kettle of fish. You are correct in that a dog needs to be steady and level headed to work day time bunnies. although on land such as yours a dog would soon learn to steady down or quiet simply end up crippled or worse. ive worked my bitches in places like that and they soon adapt to there surroundings. they are no less keen but set about there work with a bit more stealth should we say. I and my girls take work where we can find it and for bullxes they shine at everything i have thrown at them. Except ferrets lol.atb stabbaRun a bull cross on this land then tell me how much your vet bills are and thats nothing against bull crosses as i believe it horses for coarses but this land aint for a bully your fking nuts you shouldnt run a dog ther Why not ? Dog knows its job and land ....Land like that needs some brains Quote Link to post

stabba 10,745 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Imo a dog needs to do its growing up on land like that if it has any chance of excelling on that sort of land. Stick a dog on land like that that has only done field work and youll be carrying your dog home. Fortunatley i have land similar to this within 10 minutes walking distance from home. also open fields so im spoiled for any kind of terrain i choose. Coupled with plenty of road work my dogs have good hardy feet. atb stabba Quote Link to post

A youngster needs to be introduced to this type of land gradually. Do not for 1 minute think that id cavvort a 6month old pup round this land. It would be introduced steadily ie short walks on lead watching older dogs at work. Only in maturity would it be allowed free reign. I hope i have made myself clear this time. atb stabba.

SMART DOG 340 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 well rab take it you a bit of a novice when it comes to the working lurcher as i like to see a dog put to the test weather it behind old long ears on nice flat land or rocky fell land taking 20/30 rabbits in a few hard hours work. a lurcher should be able to hunt on any ground even rock climbing as you have dumbly stated if your dog couldnt cope on such land i couldn't call it a lurcher so you stick to your nice little grassy fields and let the proper dogs do the hard work Quote Link to post
