    That video is amazing. If you drove for that long in a straighlline round here you would take out 17 houses, 12 sets of traffic lights and 3 farms. I went to Canada when i was in the Army as a lad and I remember going 3 weeks on the Prairie there without seeing a tree. I was busting for a piss I tell you Lucky ;-) Keep the footage coming!

    If a good working pup is £350, would one of these be so much better? I suppose its what you want it for

    Dont worry about people being sarcastic though your posts do seem somewhat hard to believe. Assuming them to be true, my guess based on this info is that it was not a dog but Peter Pan or ET. Both are easy to deal with; ET can be a bit of a slippery f****r and may well give your terrier a hard time, in which case keep him indoors as the CIA are normally quite close behind ET and they will deal with him for you unless you have a flying BMX you can put it in and fly away too? Peter Pan might well sneak into your bedroom so watch out for him. As a rule of thumb (not Tom Thumb), boys in ti

    Oh Happy Days! Ive just taken on a pup - bout 8-9 weeks, bull x grey dam, grey x deer x sal sire.

    How much truth is in that? How did it come about?

    Ive just taken on a young pup, the dam was 1st cross bull/grey. When I picked her up I spent a time with the dam and she was an awesome creature, very shary, very fit and strong, typical laid back lurcher manner, just a great looking dog imho. I would say she was 22-23ish tts. The sire of my pup is deerxgreyxsal, not sure what she will end up like. I was mightily taken by the dam though, awesome looking creature!

    The reason she knew there was one in there is because the warren smelt of rabbits ...The reason she knew the hob had killed out in the field is because she could hear it mate .... The dog doesn't walk around over the warren smelling through the ground to locate the rabbit ... It does it through listening ........... what about terriers what try holes ,............they ignore most of them on big places and then always enter the one and find straight away........surely must be the same for lurchers? ( when there marking big warrens )I personally think its a combination of sound and smell I am

    Totally agree Ken 100%, my point was more that some dogs have natural stamina or it's in the breeding and some don't. My dog was fit but his breeding doesn't give him the natural stamina of some other lurcher types Fascinating thread. Which breeds do you think 'breed in' the best stamina and does what they are crossed with risk breeding it out? AND, how old would you say a young dog can be built up into longer hours or more open/challenging running? Can you knacker a young dog running it too hard too fast?
