    agree sometimes better to watch it instead of trying to understand it from a book if you inexperienced training lurchers. the retrieving training tips on the dvd are very good in my opinion atb.

    seen a few 1st cross beddie/whippets work decent markers/rabbiting dogs. a good friend had a 1st cross beddie/greyhound watched it work from time to time from a young dog till retirement. good rabbit dog 1st class nose. took daytime hares from time to time hunting up. a dog who found its own game a nice dog to have around good temperament. it retrieved well. training wise he didnt have much trouble with it.

    each and every man to their own. some people will strive for the best. some are very competetive.my opinion was my dogs only had to please me and if they did i was a happy man.

    it all depends on how serious the individual person is. some people accept how things turn out. some people wont accept second best.

    can laugh about it now but at the time i was only a young lad 23 i thought my lurcher world had come to a end. it didnt happen again and the dog retrieved well the rest of its working life.

    dont despair seen pups do all manner of things with their first catches and come good. i would just take a bit of time out give it some retrieves dead rabbits try again. i had a collie grey first catch killed it then cocked its leg and pissed on it and i am not joking. i can laugh about it now but at the time i couldnt beleive it happened.young dogs can do all manner of things when catching their first rabbits. if trained to retrieve as young dogs with dummys then dead rabbits early problems as the pup matures should get better.

    some people have never used longnets or dont know how to me included. prior preparation of the ground [clearing] would mean a days ferreting rather than not having one.

    i also dream of open land ferreting. if the farmer needs rabbits controling i have to clear areas thick bramble in woodland etc.

    what a refreshing change a lad who will give the young dog a chance. if he never does reds and i am not saying he wont in time. if you are happy with your dog stick with him put the effort in and i am sure he will repay you.

    have heard of collie lurchers picking their runs never owned one. half beardie dog always give 100% as did 3/4 grey 1/4 collie. prefer 3/4 cross more versatile than a 1/2 cross without losing intelligence.
