    very true, i'm very strict about the way my daughter is with our dogs, i insist that she is calm in her movements and kind with her hands, when she was younger if she poked the dog in the eye or something (as all kids will do until they learn different) i'd sharply ask how would you like it if i poked your eye?? you wouldn't like it no, so don't do it to the dog.. it means now she knows how to introduce herself to dogs and how to act around them, she'll always walk a lurcher on the way to school, and she can throw a ball and the dog responds, she can also get the lurcher to sit, or go to b

    i trust my partners bull x more then i do my own grey/beddy/whip... its not about the breed more the mentallity of the individual dog, every bull x i've met has been very calm and content i have found its in their nature to be chilled and much more likely to avoid knocking kids then any other lurcher i think, simply as they wont be bounding around like an idiot, i understand where your coming from but the question should be aimed a lurchers as a whole,, bull lurchers and bull breeds get such a bad press that is so undeserved, whereas a collie type dog or a terrier is much much much more

    i bought a hob and jill i shouldn't have really, but it was purely out of sympathy, the hob was the tamest ferret i've ever seen, loved my daughter and was very sound the jill was a begger to bite, once settled in she calmed it down to biting every now and again but when she did you were reminded where she came from!! lol just give time, good food, treat like the others with some extra one to one time, handle little and often after a good feed, make sure they know good food comes from you! and i wish you all the best x

    it also could be an age thing, my dog pup is just over 18 months and has JUST started to fill out lovely and getting really toned however a pound of tripe and meal wont go far, our terriers go through that, as already mentioned stop feeding her tripe if your happy for your other dogs to be on it then thats fine but clearly its not suiting her, use minced lamb this puts the weight on very well, feed dry in the morning after a walk so the dog has appitite for food then feed the meat after the main walk, another thought, i'm not trying to take the piss here but is the dog warm enough? my

    i feed mine raw meat ordered from landywoods, very cheap we either get minced lamb or chicken, then i also go butchers twice/three times a week and i collect meat bones and meaty scraps for 50p a bag, the last bag had raw gammon,pork, chicken, beef, and cooked hams, liver pate' and little bits of bacon -bloody dogs get fed better then me!!! i top their meal up with a good quality dry food, to give the extra vitimins that the dog would normally get from eating the stomach lining of its prey... but personally i feed mine orijen as i haven't found anything better 70%meat 30%fruit and veg

    i had a hob ferret who i never dug to, when i did kill below ground he always dragged it up to show me, he would drag it to the surface then bound over to me chirpping away, his daughter has a similar trait in that i've never had to dig to her but she doesn't seem to want to show off as much, she'll drag rabbit til just inside the enterence then go back down to check for any more, i wouldn't worry much about it at all, i've also had rabbits bolt with a ferret latched on and the dog has had to be careful how to catch

    nice to hear someone clearly taken by there dog and its not just a "tool" very nice stamp of a pup, keep up the bonding and i would introduce training tomorrow as it shows thats part of the new home before he gets properly settles in, regarding the collor get a nice soft nylon one pop it on all the time from tomorrow, and distract him from it, don't have it on too loose as you don't want a leg to get tangled when he scratches at it and with what you were saying about pure saluki letting you bond, the difficult time is adolesent time but keep the bond and training strong and you should hav

    i have a deerhound/greyhound x whippet bitch who is very handy and i know someone who used a pure collie, the breed or type doesn't really matter its about working lines, your patience and how you bring the dog on is whats important if your thinking of getting a pup, try and watch the sire work and see photos of bitch working and hopefully hear from people who have seen the bitch work, whippet types are useful but thats not all you need to consider...

    i have a 1/4 deerhound and i'm very happy, depends on your own prefrence...

    interesting topic si personally i would say a dog which has more then half sighthound blood - greyhound/whippet etc IS a lurcher any less then that then i would call it a cross i.e a collie x greyhound i would call it a "collie cross" bull x greyhound is a bull cross etc etc a pup that is out of sighthound x sired by sighthound x is what i would call a traditional lurcher, but however lurchers are bred for specific jobs whereas it used to be a general purpose of poaching various game, now there are lurchers who are bred to specialise in rabbiting and ferreting or preban there we

    pheasies and partridge i have seen a lurcher get, it surprised me you were saying about woodies on a regular basis, good luck to you and your dogs, as people on the internet really shouldn't bother you, they certainly don't bother me, especially the childish ones who think their cleaver using an icon putting its middle finger up
  25. lurcher lass
    i work my bitch with a local shoot and she will pick up and retrieve feather happily, i've seen a lurcher catch one woodie once by complete chance - i doubt it will never happen again, woodies rise at any possibilty of threat from distance so how is your dog catching anything if he's running wild through them? for a lurcher to catch partridge or pheasent they must be very calculated as clearly the birds have the huge advantage of flying and the dog has only the one chance of catching the bird
