Listen up young man,...training a lurcher is not hard....   Unless you are keen to get into some kind of competitive aspect of the running dog game,.racing, coursing,.sit and stay comps, kinda thing

You would take money from the boy to take him out ?

You want her bringing then to you a live if possible..something for me to be working on also.at lease the retrieve enyway..

Best off buying a puppy in 9 times out of 10 if you get a rescuer lurcher its not going to be nothing more than a pet. And make sure you are in a position to get a dog and keep it. Too many lurchers get past from pillow to post nowdays.

yeah i need think hard about it. i have heard of a 4 year old lurcher who already works and is good for rehome. do you think that would work out in your opinon

personally I wouldn't go for it but like I said nine times out of ten its going to be nothing more than a pet lurcher what has most likey been spolit be its last owner and most likey the reason why its being rehomed from a rescue centre.

its not coming from a rescue center though if that makes any difference. the owner does work it i haven't seen it but i have heard about it from a friend. i do get what your saying its better to have a pup but are they not quite a lot of hard work and not a lot of watching ?

Ferreting man, you seem to want a finished,all singing and dancing hunting dog but not willing to commit the time and energy into training one. I don't believe they are available off the shelf and ready to go.

i appreciate with any dog you have to put the time in i do. i just need to think long and hard on whats the best option for me and of course the dog. just trying to find out as much as i can before making my decision. its a big commitment. ideally i want to end up eventually with a good working dog. either raised from a pup or rescued it will have to be trained alot.
