Cheers. Familiar looking ground!! I have tried to PM you. Your inbox must be full.

When you are out with the pup do you take other dogs? Try it on a long lead (10 meters or so) with the other dogs going about their usual business. Let him mooch about bit the minute he heads for a sheep then ‘check’ it. Quick tug on the lead and a stern no. What Johnrussel says also works for me. What works for one dog won’t work for another. Need a couple of tricks up your sleeve.

Nice trenchfoot. How much Wheaton in there?
-
Cheers for the replies lads. Good to get some decent feedback from both sides of the fence.
-
Cheers bud. Most I would ever have is 2 lurchers and 2 bushers. That’s the plan anyway. Don’t think I would ever breed. Trying to find decent homes is a drama. Would rather take my chance and buy one in.

They will be in kennels mate. Her indoors has already chosen a bitch!
-
That would be my ideal. I think they will both take better to a bitch. ?
-
Yep my lurcher and busher are best mates. I think another male might cause friction with that though. I have looked after mates bitches before and they have both been fine with them.

Always the way katchum ?
-
Get what you are saying there bird. Only reason I’m bringing in a third one is because I need 2 runners. My lad keeps taking big knocks and has been unlucky with injuries.
-
Hope to have my mind made up before I go and see the litter. Not totally ruling out a dog pup though.
-
There’s pros and cons for both. I definitely bond better with bitches. It’s a case of see what choices I have when the pups are born. I don’t really have any faults with the 2 dogs I have. They have their moments. Have seen some bad traits in others though.
-
Cheers salt moon. Only concern is the 2 dogs scrapping. They have been around bitches in season before but didn’t turn nasty. Just turned into dick heads! Got a bit of time yet and it all depends on what the bitch has. They will mainly be collie lurcher with some saluki and a dash of bull.

Sean C on here has a border. It’s used for ferreting and bushing. He doesn’t come on that often though.

All being well I will be bringing in a new lurcher pup. Bitch has been lined so all being well I will have a nice litter to choose from. Im not sure whether to pick a dog or bitch pup. I have 2 dogs now. One lurcher and a busher. I am swaying towards a bitch pup. Mainly because I have always had bitches in the past and also pressure from the other half!! Both dogs I have now have a good temperament and get on with dogs and bitches when I hunt with other people. The main concern of bringing in a bitch is the seasons and with having 2 dogs in the kennel there will be a lot of disruption. Somethi

Good morning our that. Anything you put in front of the pup now will all add up. Every outing is a school day
-
My lad on look out.
-
A brand name for a deerhound beddy type lurcher. I have seen a few about. Never seen one working though. Some of them looked decent types but I think a lot are sold as pets.
-
Good luck with the pup. Sure you will have some decent days out with him. Will he be mainly bushing to lurchers?
-
Nice one. Good to see you back on here. Hope to see some posts of your days out. ?
-
You got plenty of time. Concentrate on whats important first. He’s seven months now so next season will be plenty soon enough. ?
-
The next dog I hope to get will be along these lines. With regards to your pup, my priority would be to see how it is with other dogs and young kids. At 7 months old you still have time for training and stock breaking. Atb with it all.

Seems so. He seen them this morning. They met at a local restaurant and the lady filled up their flasks and sent them on their way. He said there were about 40 or so people with the hounds.
