  1. Might be coincidence, but some of the best hunt up dogs I've worked have all been food mad scrounging dogs, little bitch I've got now is just the same..... I have to watch her some of the rank stuff she'll find and eat. It was the thing that probably killed my little bushing collie bitch years ago....vet said it was probably some poison that killed her.

  2. Mines also very good in the house....nice and laid back. Don't get me wrong though when you stroke her you feel the energy bustling away in her.

     

    I've never bred my own lurcher, always preferring to buy in, but I often wonder what I would put over her (not that I have plans to). I think what you'd gain in one hand you might lose in the other. ...who knows. A while after I got my pup I saw an advert for saluki/greyhound x sprocker.......I would have liked to have seen how these turned out...build wise.

  3. Dam....working gamekeepers working springer......sire.... Lurcher.....

     

    She's not keen on loud bangs.....( think was down to a bad experience with fireworks when she was a pup)

    Doesn't work cover like a bushing dog.

    Doesn't look much like a lurcher.

    Bit heavy.

    Doesn't turn as sharp as my other little whippet like lurcher.

    Doesn't particularly go out of her way to swim.

     

    Most intelligent switched on dog I've ever worked.

    Lovely temperament

    I wanted a lurcher with spaniel in because I need a dog that goes out of its way to find game otherwise around me your not going to find much. This is what she does best.

     

    Her passion is squirrels.......I've had one too many brought back to me alive. She now catches and flings them around until there dead.

     

    If you like mooching around in the daytime admiring a dog that loves to work then yes I would definitely recommend one. If your wanting a quick catch dog/ slip dog then no....but I am talking about the half cross.

    Her work rate more than makes up for any shortfalls.....a cracking companion.

    She's about 21 inch....

  4. My spaniel lurcher is nuts for squirrels. She's retrieved quite a few alive, but she now tends to nip n fling it then nip n fling it again......but by christ they don't half bite. I love watching her working the air for scent.......she loves it.

  5. Yep.......my little terrier brings them back.........which is some comical task given her size, a bit like me carrying an Alsatian in my gob.

     

    Been a few times I've thought she gone missing to see her dragging a rabbit in my direction......she won't leave it behind.

  6. Have you tried her on the lamp wuyang? Looks a handy sort a bit more robust than a Full lurcher.

    What's in that dog cleanspade beddy/whippet with something a bit stronger?

    Hi Blackdog92.................I haven't had her on the lamp, I think she'd have done fine, but maybe lacked the tight turn on a sixpence that my other lurcher has....certainly a bright bitch.

  7. This is one of my lurchers (springer x lurcher) that comes bushing with me, although saying that it's more like general mooching these days.

    She's not a bushing lurcher in as much that she stays mainly out of the bushers leaving it to my little old jack.

  8. Was with tesco....fair bit cheaper than Petplan, but when dog had injury had to pay the vets bill then vet fills forms in and I get payment back from insurance.....didn't take long to get cash back.

     

    One thing you have to keep an eye on is the amount they put it up each year,,,,, tesco shot the price of mine right up.....so i did another Internet search and got them for just over £6 each per month....would have to check as I can't remember the name....was off a price comparison site.

     

    The site showed all levels of cover available and charged accordingly. Pick to suite.

  9.  

    Nice catch.

    Was there something up with that second rabbit.......seemed real slow

    You could say that mate I slowed the video down as it says in my original post ATB BB

    That's toooo funny.....on the ball as normal

  10. Wuyang fair play but I can a sure it wasn't my mistake it was great we dog to start just later in years it false mark it's mark was to lie down on top of the burrow the lamping was embarrassing with her stalking refusing to chase just a out and out fecking skitso lol

    Oops, sorry.......I didn't mean to imply yours did it for for the same reason.......,

  11. Had a dog with the breeding your talking about beast it was a big farm collie white faced border collie x lurcher great we ferreting dog to begin with but come night time it was a embarrassment to go out with anyone lamping it would stalk the rabbit if the rabbit ran the dog would about turn and come back to you that's what put me of collie crosses for life at the age of 6 it started to false mark burrows to please me

    One of my border collies used to false mark.......and at the time I believed like you said " to please me", but looking back I pretty sure the mistake was probably mine.

  12. Best and easiest method for me is dog lead in weakest hand....( normal size lead..... Nothing too long), in the other a walking stick or similar.....use the stick as a guide for the dog to stay behind your leg/stick.

     

    If it pushes in front of you or the stick give it a gentle tap with the stick..... Say back.

     

    When the dog finally decides battle is lost and walks by your side......utter the words heal and praise the dog.

     

    Works for me....... Be consistent with it.
