has stabba said why get cold and wet and foxes are still legal arent they and has for your challenge if your putting the perm up im sure you will get some takers No foxes can be taken by lurchers in England now I'm afraid. Oh and permission ain't a problem, finding a sportsman is.

Against all rules, I agree with you!!!)

My point is that there is nothing worse for the reputation of country sport than the thickos on this open public forum.

Indeed there is!

Even I can tell when it's the right time of year to hunt. Yer I might of needed help with my lurcher But I'm more than confident that I know that there is no sport at this time of year. Foxes fair enough but that's not legal nowadays. By the way. I've got more experience in the sporting world than most of you, shooting, terriers, gun dogs and lurchers. Anyone who wants to challenge that is more than welcome to. All I'm questioning is the sportsmanship in leaving game alone until the colder months.

What on earth are you looking to kill? Can't be anything legal at this time of year?! Either you're hunting things during breeding season or you're posting on a public forum about illegal hunting. Smart

Can't see any adverts for them in this months mag. I have seen them in the past but not for a while

I'll have a look for you in a bit pal, got the magazine at home.

Healthy looking pup tb25! Credit to you

I do have another lurcher. He's 3 now, had him since 18 month so never had a lurcher pup. We've got terriers too so there's plenty of company at home. Just they all leave him at walk time at the moment and he feels he's being left out and the howls start!. My adult lurchers getting plenty of work at the moment so pups used to being left with the terriers at home and is happy with that. So really in adult life he will never be left alone. I appreciate what you're saying though and I'm grateful for your advice. The hardest time is when I'm up first light to take the dogs for morning wa

Cool. Thanks for the advice. Tonight he will be going on his first walk, not too far, not too fast. Will make life easier because he hates been left when I take the adult dogs for a walk

Thanks. I was just worried about damaging him in the long run. I've had pups before and lurchers but never a lurcher pup and was just worried that the rapid growth rate and spindly bones would be easily damaged by too much exercise

Oh and thanks for the replys so far

Maybe I should expand. I live on a farm so stock breaking etc is all on the door step and so he's been getting small walk around the sheep to get him used to them.. The vet said milling around the garden and farm would be fine until 5 months. So he's not house bound. But he does have excess energy. So a 20-30 min on the lead twice a day wouldn't do any long term damage? Even at 13weeks?
