Cheers steve, picking up a pup in about a wk or so, it got grey, whippet, collie and a bit of pharoh hound in it, little worried about the noise from the pharoh but we really like the look and sound of her and her older siblings and dam and sire so gonna take the risk. Should make 23 24tts.
Gonna use her for rabbits, ferreting and general mooching, might give lamping a go maybe see how it goes.
But got a good dose, but not too much,'' of collie, (border) in her, had collies before so know what there like for training etc. Had dogs all my life just never lurchers, more the training to hunt i need to learn about.
When shes old enough might see if theres any one down my neck of the woods with working lurchers i could take her out with to get the idea.
Will have a look for that book shop now.
Cheers
Neil
