    I remember when Lurcher racing was some thing for working Lurchers to do in the summer months, and wasn't taken to seriously; but now it seems there are purpouse bred "Lurchers", for racing only, and never actualy see any work, These dogs seem, in the main, to be Non-Ped Whippets and unregistered Greyhounds. If people want to take it so seriously, why not race these dogs, out of traps, against their peers, at organised Whippet or Greyhound tracks ? Cheers.

    At the Whippet Racing Clubs that I attend, all the workers and organisers, (handicapper, trap man, starter, judges, etc.), run their dogs !! If they didn't the clubs wouldn't exist !! Racing isn't like showing, it's not one mans opinion on what is the prettiest dog ! It's the fastest dog on the day, no matter WHO owns it. Cheers.

    Doe's it matter ? Someone will come on and say the dog "jacked", no matter how good it was ! If it was the real "Jerry", then it was a very good dog ! Cheers.

    To say they have no drive, well, that makes me wonder about the Dobernan you have had. As I keep saying, they SHOULDN'T be in OUR lurcher blood, but they are good dogs in their own right ! Tango and Bruce; Cheers.

    Cookie... I was talking about FERRETING, I never mentioned DEER, the more I read your posts, the more I worry !! I will not reply to anything you say from now on...I think you are a wrong 'un !! I may be wrong, but I won't take that chance !! Cheers.

    Perhaps I didn't make myself clear, (to you), in my post; I'm not a ferreter, I don't own ferrets, and my dogs NEVER work with ferrets, even though I enjoy a days ferreting. If I had a dog that could be called of "the hunt in full flight with a simple NO !" Then it wouldn't be in my kennel for long. It's desire, drive and instinct would not be what I wanted in a working dog. Cheers. Why You have out of control dogs do you have any bidablitly in your dogs or does your desire equals unruly dogs. You can have a dog with strong prey drive and instinct but still have total co

    Yea Millet, it was the fert's first time out, I'm sure it will improve, but as I replied to Tomo, the post was a bit tongue in cheeck, just to illicit a few replies. Cheers.

    Tomo, was the "sleeping ferret" passed on to a "good pet home" ?? LOL !! I know what you mean mate... my post was just a bit "tongue in cheeck"; I've done a bit of ferreting , but like terrier work, I'd rather be walking than digging !! Cheers.

    Now, I've had running dogs for far more years than I care to remember, and I know there are great dogs, good dogs, average dogs and bad dogs, but I've never realy been in to ferrets, although I enjoy ferreting ! A few years ago I got my brother a ferret from a top class guy, "Silverhob", from this site. It was a "Black Eyed White" jill, and turned out to be, (in my brothers opinion), an excellent worker ! It recently had to be replaced, so I got him a well bred polecat hob, anyhow, we had it out today and it was worse than useless !! Now, this is where I show my ignorance of ferrets....... I

    Weimaraners are excellent dogs in their own right; but I can't honestly see what they would add to a Lurcher, that other, more recognised crosses can . Cheers.

    If a dog doesn't come straight back when the lamp goes off........it's NOT a lamping dog !! LOL !! Cheers.

    Grasses, walking the big land ???What the hell is this guy going on about ??? I don't know any grasses, and I haven't a clue about walking the big land !!! Cheers.

    The guy has a dog, a Boergreyhound, a breed most on here, including me, have never heard of. It would be interesting to see it and hear about it, instead of the usual "Lets see you bull X's", etc !! LOL !! I think you are wrong about the age of the kids that post nonsense on here; I've hunted with 17, 18, 19 year olds from here and they have been great ! I think the crabbers are around 14/15, have never had a dog, (or a life!!), and just spout shite on here to look "big" !! LOL !! Cheers.

    The guys "harping on" about jackals, as you put it, because he is from SOUTH AFRICA !!! This forum has members frm all over the world, not just the UK, and I for one, enjoy reading about dogs and quarry from different countries ! Cheers.

    OK, I've got a few spare minutes, so I'll try and give MY answers to your questions, which I STRESS, are only MY opinions. 1, Yes Whippet and Greyhound are the usual base breeds for Lurchers, for one reason only..SPEED. But I find that Saluki and Deerhound are also being used more and more as a base breed. 2, Certain crosses are used for various reasons, the most obvious is the quarry they work, the land they run, and of course, personal preference. 3, Airedales ARE used, but not as popular as Bedlingtons. Beddys are, I think, the only terrier with the shape and speed to go with th

    THAT WOULDNT BE KENDO NEGASAKI WOULD IT,,,,,HE WAS NOT MATCH FOR MR CRABTREE Shirley Not ! Cheers.

    If the lurchers you have seen "backed off a bit at hedges", then they were poor specimens ! I think you have allready made your mind up on a Whippet, as why would you want a lurcher if you don't think they have the drive ? Good luck with whatever you decide on Cheers.

    I think Tomo's big bags come from about 200 mile SOUTH of Berwick !! Cheers.
