Hot Meat 3,109 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Any man who has had a number of dogs over a number of year( not a year with there first dog haha) and hasn't had any failures is either very lucky or have low standards. You decide which is you if the cap fits. I could see your points if folk thar fail dogs never had good dogs. But the fact is the folks I know that fail dogs, when they say they got a good dog that's what they have got. And they do get them just as often as failures. Why is it other stockmen wether they be greyhound men horse trainers or pigeon men can have failures but lurchermen can't? First dog and trying to preach to the forum.

low plains drifter 9,463 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Very easy for a person with no prior knowledge of dogs or the countryside to buy a ready to run lurcher,go walking round the fields chasing anything that moves,run the poor dog until it's close to heart failure,threaten any farmer/landowner that comes near them,then decides the dog is shit and so is hunting,is it any wonder the genuine dog men/women get tarred with the same brush,Good post BORDERSCOT i've had 6 dogs in 20 years 2 Quote Link to post

pritch 335 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 I've had 11 running dogs in the past 35 years and more often than not have had two at a time at varying ages...once they are here, (barring fatalities which I have had) they are here for good - never had something I couldn't work with...some were f*****g fantastic dogs, some were good honest curs and one or two made serviceable lurchers - all have put food on the table and all have provided me with hours of dodgy and honest adventure, mischief, fun, highs and lows, heartache and lifelong memories... And apart from a wee yapping beddy x whipp x collie x grey bitch I had when I was young I have never had to rehome anything - ever... I've learned to live with their faults and foibles and have embraced their strengths and weaknesses as they have with me...I've tried to instill the same ethos into my lad...hopefully he'll make a serviceable dogman one day... Too easy an option to 'get shot' at the first hurdle...get another, then another...and so on...I know some who'll go through 3-4 in a season declaring that they are all shit - personally, I'm not buying that...not saying there are no useless/shit dogs out there but if you consistently have shit dogs in your yard and go through 4,5,6,7,8 every season...the fault is clearly with the human... Just my opinion as I see it... Up to now it's been fun...long may it all continue... atb Colin. good post,but the last line sticks out to me as that is why i do it for fun i enjoy it. it ain't a contest i may or may not have good dogs but if i'm out enjoyin myself it's all good & while like anyone else i like to get a few it ain't a necessity & it's a good job round here lol but that don't make the dogs any better or worse than anyone else's & as you say long may it continue 1 Quote Link to post
