    I don't think they are less obedient, a lot of stock breeds have pricked ears and unless they are hunting mice and small animals to survive out bush I don't think the ear carriage matters.

    Interesting with the fox's, but the prick eared herders are more biddable than the drop eared sighthounds etc.

    Lots of dogs with wind have drop ears ?

    I've been off here for ages. Am I missing summat here? I've had a fair few bevis like BUT dogs going lame in August for hitting barbwire fences?

    My bitch still on foot and bike work.

    Is it just me? No wonder we have a bad name and 'countryside police' have their own division.

    Fucksake

    Wire etc is a everyday thing round here, for all types of dog and owner...

    Yeah ive had a look at that but it dosent mean a whole bunch just know the bitch was a dinger good thing and apparently so was he, pups full of speed all the same and seem to have a good brain so far hopefully stays that way when he hits the field! 

    Think his owner might be on here, mind one of those pics on someone's profile

    GOT TO AGREE WITH YOU GILBEY, IM NOT A CHOP AND CHANGE MERCHANT WITH MY DOGS AND NEVER HAVE BEEN, ALWAYS FOUND THAT BEDLINGTONXS AND WHIPPET TYPEXS WORKED WELL EVEN INTO OLD AGE, IF ENTERED CORRECTLY ANDW0RKED AND FED PROPERLY MOST LURCHERS WORK TIRELESSLY FOR YOU EVEN AT A GOOD AGE, MY OLDEST LURCHER IS A DEERHOUNDX AND IS 11 YRS OLD,STILL  LAMPING HIM LAST WINTER AND HAD AFEW WITH HIM,CAUGHT A RABBIT ONLY YESTERDAY ON A GENTLE STROLL, OTHERDOG IS DEERHOUND X AGAIN AND IS 6YRS OLD AND TO ME IS IN HIS PRIME, WILL RUN HIM THIS WINTER, THE DEERHOUND DOES HAVE ONE OF THE SHORTEST WORKING LIVES OF THE TRADITIONAL LURCHERS, WHEN YOU THINK YOU LET EM MATURE TILL ABOUT 18MONTHS OLD, RUN EM TILL ABOUT 9YRS AND THEN THEY NEED TO BE EASED OFF WORK BUT NOT STOPPED COMPLETELY,I THINK TO GET ADOG OUTEXERCISING EVERYDAY KEEP THEM FIT AND HEALTHY INTO OLD AGE, BUT THATS MY EXPERIENCE OVER THE YEARS, OLDEST LURCHER IHAD WAS BEDDYX LIVED TILL 16YRS OF AGE AND WORKED TILL 11, FERRETING AND DAY TIME MOOCHING.

    Oldest saluki was 16 1/2 and oldest lurcher was 15. Just comparing those two, the lurcher X lurcher was a old dog for longer

    Would u  lads say jumping gates /fences is essential for a working lurcher ??? Have u ever seen a dog clear a fence or gate whilst in pursuit of something ?? Would always have me gun-dogs jumping , but like been mentioned above there not going 30mph.  I just imagine a dog misjudging a jump in full flight being an absolute car crash.  An maybe jumping better left out, an just accept loosing some game as a result ?

    Yes and yes all the time. But it's up to you it's your dog. If you do go down the jumping route, I wouldn't have young pups jumping high stuff, it can do more harm than good
