not all lurchers will take squartter's, alot like your dog looks for movment in the beam. When you get your next squatter, walk your dog up to it, get your dog to the back of the rabbit, when the rabbit gets up slip your dog. It should learn take them , give it time. How old is your dog, it takes a couple of seasons to know the crack.

colliexgrey , easy to train,catch rabbits easy, good coat+feet, a good nose, handle any weather and any ground, so a tough old dog. Size = 22-24ins 40- 55lb, just right for any game, a nice size lurcher not to big .

If He has constantly retrieved, and this a new. i personally would check his Mouth Teeth etc....... *if his running style and Movement are still the same* too may have a bearance i have always trained like a building block.. so if one block fails i can go back - rebuild and Hopefully all will work out Good Luck L hope it sorts out With retrieving, lurchers its not natural.? Ive had them retrieve for 3 seasons great, then i have found alot will kill at the catch, and leave it there. I think they all love the chase [natural] thats the running dog in them. With other

1x collie grey's, they seem quite a tough dog. Most lurchers get a knock, i think the more running dog in the lurcher, the quicker so more chance of get'n hurt. especially in the lamp.

Bad luck mate,

Spot on, why people want to use badly bred dogs to make a lurcher.???? A lurcher life is very hard as it is, they have to be Fit,Agile,strong,Quick, you only GET this from SOUND dogs . A lurcher job was to catch quarry that could run at 30-40mph, even doing pest control[ lamping] they have to catch it first. You only get this off SOUND+healthy working dogs not macho guard breeds which are prone to health problem's i used to have bullmastiffs, good guards but not healthy animals even bull terriers[pit] were having health probs in the 80s, you have to remember what a lurcher was

Nice young dogs, get the right colliex grey and they will take every thing you can eat, and will do old red jacket as well

Put it in the house when you go out, ive had this prob when you have two dogs. I like to run one dog on its own, and once they both know what lamping is, they will feckin sing if you leave one behind. . Its better to have it in the house, than feckin yaping at 2am when you get in

GIVE A DOG A GOOD HOME < STOP THE PASSING ABOUT >
bird replied to jackard's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
A fair post, and alot are dogs are under 12months old , ok you do get some that will never make it, but it will take most , two seasons to know the crack.??? you will know by then, at least you have have give it a fair chance. With breeding, you have to go with proven stuff , and you might get a good pup for your self. -

Looks a good guard, but if they want to get in a dog wont stop them. A dog is only good for [opportunist] thief. The pro's would shoot or poison it still it would make joe public think twice

Spot on. always be top dog, even from 10 weeks old a pup should no its place with a older dog [ a new dog] it still as to know its place, you can mold a pup to what you want, a mature dog is harder job.

opening up/yapping is it all that bad
bird replied to ulverston moocher's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Regards yapping and scaring rabbits off, not all rabbits will run off. I had a no ped whippet years ago, i took her one night on the lamp. In this field there were about 14 rabbits, slipped her on one about 30yds out , she ran it and yapped from start to finish. I thought well thats fecked it, got her back put the lamp back on, and Feck me the was still 10 rabbits there . She got 4 , not bad for her 1 night, every think not black+white ? -
Remember this , that all retrieve training is very good for any pup, but when you switch over to a live rabbit, all that training can go out of the window Ive had dogs that would retrieve dummy's anything all day long, but once on the real thing some would bring back, and some would NOT So keep at it , and dont forget you carnt make them retrieve, its not natural like a gundog

True, they will wish they were dead, and when they do come out they will spend the rest of there lives looking over there shoulder

Dont know anything about the legal side but at least she is acknowledging the problem & doing something about it, i dont think anyone can say 100% that there dog wont ever chase or attact stock even if previously they were seemingly broken to stock I do hope the farmer will accept her compensation rather than it go through court, it seems like a lot of hassall when an offers already been made Spot on regards stock, even some sheep dogs can turn and they are with sheep 24/7. I had lurcher colliex grey in 82, he was broke to stock from 10 weeks as soon as he had is
