with a lot of regret I'm looking for a new home for my lurcher dog.
He's just turned 3 and this will be his 3rd season on the lamp.
He's a 3/4 greyhound collie with a broken / rough blue merle colour.coat.
dewclaws surgically removed as an older pup.and he's microchipped
recall is good and he knows basic commands - sit, lie down
he has a staggering amount of prey drive but with work as it is at the minute I just can't get enough rabbits in front of him and get him out enough (on the lamp). He's well exercised and fit..
He is kennelled out but will live in or out and is no trouble indoors day and night.
Fed a good raw diet backed up by good dry grub
He can be narky around male dog's .he doesn't know
I want him to go to a good working home with a sensible owner.
I'll ask a token amount of £50 for him.
Collection from North Devon
Please message with any questions
Thanks Rob
Ive little time for folk attempting to get rid of the majority of lurchers,you seem to be a tad more genuine than most and i hope the mutt ends up in the kennel it deserves,good luck.
He just deserves more than I can give him at the minute Morton. He's my only working dog and I won't be replacing him.

Everyone posted on here saying..
The working lurcher was not represented and felt the CA was not doing enough..
That's what's got things going..
The ALC lacked members, momentum & drive.
All of which has changed..
Don't give up Paul..
Rob already has..
We're here to answer geniuine questions..
Thanks for all the positive pms and intrest..
Its humbling to see the generosity of the members here..
Happy Hunting.
Just for the record Steve, I've far from given up. I stated from the beginning that i did not want to be on any committee. I stuck to what I said. My withdrawal from the steering group is for my personal reasons and in no part due to any lack of commitment to the cause of the promotion of the working lurcher. To state that i've given up is incorrect. If you want to know why i've withdrawn. please pm me and ask rather than assume and refrain from making comments based on assumption and stick to facts

sorry but the tears are still rolling down my cheeks after reading this.

"If it was missing something in it's diet, then eating it's own sh*t is the last place it will find it............it's missing"
seriously though, I have a bitch that has a spot on diet and still likes the odd warm turd from a variety of mammals.
as said before, just try to remove them before the hunger pangs set in

As i have stated else where, and it was my intention to remain silent until we ( hopefully) set up a meeting with Alan and Your steering group ,
Desertbred and Paulus are doing a great job of knocking down bridges that have been built.
I suggest You use some decorum, as Your peers are.
would that be the same decorum as that used to re brand and elect a committee without approaching the group that was already looking into starting a group, something that yourselves accused that group of doing without consulting yourselves, speaking for myself. what is the point in re instating a group that has consisted of one man for over 20 years that very few of the new generation of dog lads have ever even herd of, who you say has done so much for the last 20 years that we find our self still under represented and look upon as the dark sheep of the hunting world. where was this when the media was informing everyone that all lurcher work is illegal etc all over national tv and the press, where was this when the animal welfare bill was brought in so the rspca could use it in place of the hunting act to get lads banned for keeping dogs for life and extortionate kenneling and legal cost. google search shows nothing from the association since about 2000, i am sorry to say that a change and a united front is the only way to move forward the old ways never worked back then so why stick to them now. everybody wants the same thing as far as more representation goes but using the same old methods will only achieve what has happened in the past 20 or more years, a vote for change is a vote for the future
Well, Well, At last after nearly twenty years the dragon awakes. the Association of Lurcher Clubs is accepted by both the Countryside Alliance and the Council of Hunting Associations as the governing body for Lurcher/Longdog work. As Chairman of the Association I sit on the board of the Council of Hunting Associations on whose behalf I have attended meetings in the House of Commons and At the head office of the Countryside Alliance in Kennington road in London and have direct contact with the Countryside Alliance.
Before the Ban the Association of Lurcher Clubs (ALC) was one of the biggest hunting associations affiliated to the Council of Hunting Associations, (CHA) One of the reasons for it's popularity was the "Forley Cup" which brought coursing men/women from all parts of the country to test their Longdogs in the biggest and hardest competition for coursing Lurchers the coursing world had ever known. The competition and membership fees enabled the ALC to take the fight for hunting with Lurchers to the forefront against the hunting ban. We along with other hunting associations lost.
After the ban was put in place, membership of all the forms of hunting suffered. We, the ALC most of all. Since 2004 I have done the best that I could with no club income. I have attended every CLA and Midland Game Fairs at my own expence, with a display within the Countryside Alliance marque, promoting the repeal of the hunting ban with special interest for the Lurcher/Longdog owner. In short, you already have a organisation that is already in a position and has the contacts to represent the working Lurcher/Longdog Hunter.
As I have stated I attended the CLA Game Fair to represent Lurcher work for twenty years, and yet, this year I found that my attendance was not needed!! I went any way and spoke to Tim Bonner who stated that due to cut backs the marquee was smaller and there was no room. I stood by the massive stall selling various Items and wondered If this was the truth of the matter.
There you have it. The Association stands ready to do your wishes, But the ALC needs Membership and finance. If there are enough of you that really want to fight let me know and I will organise a venue for a meeting. So come on stand and be counted.
Alan Tyer
Chairman
Association of Lurcher Clubs.
from the locked topic
Your obviously speaking for the lagbi as no one has stated your right or wrong from the steering committee
Why are they so keen to speak to AT if hes done as little as you claim? Could they need him? What did Tim Bonner say to them and what did he offer to lagbi?
AT submitted the AWL article several weeks prior to the meeting with TB to the CMW would it have made any difference if it had been published earlier?
Y.I.S Leeview
As you are aware, I have withdrawn from the LAGBI steering committee and really wanted to see the best progress made. There are plenty of lads who are only just coming on to read this topic and you just can't stay out of it can you ? All the while causing trouble. You sit on the committee of the AWL and you come on spouting like you do ? You should have more common sense and decorum. You are a f***ing PR disaster for the organisation you represent

Desertbred im not disagreeing that just replying to what paulus said, why the old ones have suddenly reappeared
when the new group first "popped up" it was populated by folk from here and moochers.
-
I'd say a whippet x for sure . I'm running a 3/4 line bred greyhound collie. Gives it everything but a little too big for the fields on my permissions.
-
For the record, I have personally withdrawn from the LAGBI steering group as of NOW.
From the original post by Giro all i wanted to do was to help change something for the better.
That change has now started
My continued involvement serves only to irritate bad feeling caused by the split of the original group.
I wish the future of working lurcher and those striving to promote it all the best.
Rob
Your crazy Rob, I had You down as one of the good guys.
Hi . There's always been better placed folk that me to go ahead with this. I never wanted a place on the committee of anything. Positive changes are starting to happen and that's a good thing for everyone.

So do you got a club or not?
At present we are a group of like minded individuals striving to achieve something to promote the future of working lurchers with the aims and code as previously published.
The intention has always been to set up a structure which can then be handed over to a democratically elected committee and to be inclusive for all.
So to answer that directly along with the explanation above - No
And after all the good advise from some good people that know what the score is, on this topic, you chose to ignore it all and got stuffed good and proper, flick back a few pages and re-group.
I was reiterating a point already confirmed by Trenchfoot and gave an honest answer to an apparently genuine question.
As have I. So can you still run with the LAGBI club on it's own merits, or is it tied to AWL?
the intentions of LAGBI are made clear in the post by Trenchfoot both on here and Moochers

It's in Basingstoke even the police said it's very harsh little young police man was a wanker lesson learned but they said that lamping is illegal even if the land owner gave us permission he would of still done us
Thats one copper's ignorance of the law and had you had permission nothing would have come of it. But you didnt so regardless of 1 daft copper you have broken enough laws for a prosecution to go ahead
-
likely they'll have the arsepca "inspect" the dogs and will have the dogs kept on health grounds and you'd better be hoping that the only mammals on that ground are bunnies or they'll be trumping that one up as well.
Real shame for the dogs.
