Pic of lurcher/border terrier cross?

Hi Ratcher1 I think that what i,m having difficulty in getting my head around is the fact that you don,t seem to be able to stop the dog when in `full flow!` In `Hunting Video Clips`,(hare coursing) you see two dogs chasing a hare ,towards the end of the video ,they are shown running beside a main road,(cars are clearly seen driving past) , the hare runs into the fence and is `nabbed!` However if that hare had managed to get through the fence and across the road ,i,m sure those dogs would have been over that fence in a second.

Hi Bullmastiff will take pics. and post tomorrow night,`Think that they meant Border Terrier though!.she has wiry muzzle,and the hairs on her back stand up!

Hi Skycat, Thanks for the advice,i,ll try the long line idea about the sheep. We actual got the dog at 3 months old,and she is supposedly a border/lurcher cross?

Last weeks outing was the first time she had seen sheep,( obvisously a

Thanks for the replys, I,ll certainly get the dvd. With the `Run in!`, are lurchers able to be called off?,or dropped to the whistle,the same as a spaniel? "Or is it a case of when thier off....THIER OFF!" and if so,how do you get the dog back?and how do you stop it from running across roads? This `THING!` , of our is only 8 months,but when she sees a bird,a rabbit,a SHEEP.she,s off after it I feel that teaching her to drop will take a lot of the `GO`,out of her,and probably make her `sticky!`Also do lurchers retrieve to hand?`,or do you have to chase after them?

Hi There I,m new to this site .so a wee bit about me! I,m Heather,and my partner`s name is Carey.I originally come from Gourock,but now stay with Carey in `Sunny Sandbank`,near Dunnon. Until i moved over to `Sunny Sandbank`,i,d always wanted to do the `Hunting,Shooting,Fishing` thing,but this was not that easy,`not coming from that kind of back ground!`However Carey used to be very heavily involved in `Field Sports`,and now that the girls are a bit older,he would like to rekindle an old passion,..."And i can,t wait!" I now take our boat out myself,and i,m not too bad at the Macker
