Are you refering to line bred lurchers as pure lurchers????
-
I disagree that no dog needs to be hit, BUT i mean some form of physical correction, not a beating as the owner has lost control. Some dogs have an amazing drive and hard temperament and can ignore a correction, for others a physical correction is totally inappropriate. And in not talking about most dogs, i bred and worked imported shepherds and if you were inclined you could of beaten them with a lorry axle and they would wag there tails and say "and"???

Is it inaudioble to humans, a bit like Aaron Neville?

I don't think so, i was purely trying to ignite some debate that didn't involve "what do you think of a saluki/bull/basenji/tortoise" or "why do people like bull lurchers", now thats been done to death.......Although you get brownie points for the drawing thread..........

nine times out of ten a physical correction isn't required with MOST dogs, depends on the individual temperament, although saying that my wheaten brings out a side of me that reaches for the hammer........

I have owned bull crosses that are good rabbiting dogs but nobody go out purposefully to buy a bull cross for rabbits.......

You keep labs so in theory "working dogs" doesn't apply to you -

Honestly can't imagine it......... -
Now i was sorely tempted to start a "what cross is best" or "why have bull in a lurcher" but i resisted the temptation. Now this question is aimed pre ban obviously or if you are fortunate to live in a country with a less dictatorial political system!!!! What did you deem an all rounder?? May seem an obvious question but its relative and ones mans all rounder is another mans rubbin rag Is an all rounder the dog that could be worked in a variety of hunting situations against all quarry and put up a creditable performance, that may be ferreting and lamping bunnies, working alongside terri

will try it mate, me mates got one. Unless you are experienced and have excellent timing you using an electric collar will f**k up your problem ten fold, my advice would be go back to basics, DON'T allow the dog anywhere near sheep off the lead, the warning sign was the dog messing around, you failed to act quick enough which resulted in Larry the lamb becoming a kebab and after the dog has killed a sheep its makes it 100 times worse. Like i say forget the collar and go back to basics, my young dog was steady but one day a flock ran and he chased them for 20 yards before recalling,

Interesting topic Ray, temperament is often overlooked. I have owned dogs of varying temperaments, from laid back dogs to hyper nut jobs and i prefer the easy life and hyper dogs wind me up. Had lurchers that are so chilled and easy to live with, they are quiet in the kennel, car and worked well, also owned dogs which whinge whenever they are left alone, or cant be with you and it boils my p*ss tbh, one thing i also hate are fighters, luckily enough i have never allowed any of mine to be as its one of my pet hates. The only reason i have kept the whingers is they have been good dogs in the

a panda with a whisk would destroy them both at the same time. True but a condor with an ice cream scoop and a bad attitude is the daddy!!!!!

do you think the ban will ever get lifted

If a rosette is that important then go buy a pedigree breed, a waistcoat, bow tie and start practicing your "ring mince" with what appears to be a barbed hook inserted in your anus.......

Everyone on the forum knows i'd knock him spark out within 30 seconds.......28 of those would be taken up with dazzling footwork......On a more serious note, who would win if a grizzly bear with dementia fought a silverback with a bowie knife?
-
Couldn't agree more, if you dont like em dont get one, simples.... Personally i would rather get herpes than a whippet lurcher but dont decry the man who keeps them...............

One just PM'd me, he reckons your offer took the piss more than his catheter bag did.. He said four punches and you're on.. Deal Mal, but the fourth punch im wearing me knuckle dusters......

See all the old forum fuckers are terrified of me, is there no man aged 70-90 who will meet me under my fair conditions?

Not read the thread to be honest, and if i delete a thread i have no problem saying so, i didn't look as i dont like art work so fox drawing isn't my thing
