best lurcher for working with terriers
barnslyben replied to bigdan's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
COULD NOT AGREE MORE i would nt get a beddy/whippet mate otherwise all your dogs will be in the bush with none waiting for the bolt ,let ya terriers do the bush work and use whippet or whippet/ghd for whatever comes out.it s worked for me. you can t beat terriers for bushing, train your saluki/ghd to work with them.a beddy/wip will bush well but while he s in there you still need a dog on the outside .BB -

hi all my 8 yr old saluki/ghd has gone down hill fast,it started when i came back of my hols in june, my girlfriends mum had been lead walking her for 2 weeks because she cant be trusted around the farm cats when we got back i took them out for some free running my bitch had put on a lot of weight due to the lead walking and muscle waste. i commented she is running like a donkey at the time i thought it could be due to the extra weight so i cut down her food and exercised her more and she developed a limp in her front right leg. over a 6 week perid, the condition worsened i cant pin point the

cheers for that ,is there ,was there a ped racer that stood out above the rest ?who has, had the best racer in your opinion something special.cheers BB

that depends on what you decide to use ,non ped or ped ,both are bred for speed but the non peds are faster the choice is yours .there are alot of good racing studs out there .if you pm me i can give you a contact top non ped racing champion mansfield way. .....how can you say the non ped whippets are faster ? .......ive had both ped and non ped also work along side both . you get good ones from both and bad ones from both but non ped usually have grey in them a few generations back to keep the size up . ive had a 17 inch bitch that was fast as feck and takle anything full ped and faster

it is ileagal to lamp in alberta mate,i would go for a small dog proberly whippet x terrier,something that does nt look racy and draw too much attention.i did nt know they had banned hunting with dogs there my mates are going out with a lad soon who still dogs coyotes i would never break the law tho that would be naughty

abit of saluki is good, but in alberta the temp can drop to -45 the ground is like concrete ,gets very hot in the summer too not suitible for any running dog , it is mainly flat praries big field s ,but their hare canot be compared with ours ,not sure if canadians have alot of choice with lurchers as not many do the small stuff all the best BB ,
