    when you get your runner you will wish you did that years ago it has become a bit of an obsession for me i cant drive past a field without a quick check lol Wanted a lurcher for a good while,but for various reasons decided to wait till one of these has gone (my dogs live in) didn't want to get one and later decide 3 dogs is too many and pass one on,good bad or indifferent its here for life I know what you mean about obsession ,it gets in your blood,always scanning fields whilst walking/driving looking for "signs" Your dog looks a cracker by the way ATB for the season, Dave ive

    no not much difference i think the farmers have seen and heard it all from all age groups spot on mate, , its no differnce now to as it was when 1st started .!! i started at 30 year old, always had dogs around me as kid, but mainly bull breeds staffs, pits, bull mastiffs. there were lurchers back then, but being honest most were kept by gypos etc,, ionly got into lurchers by chance really, was walkin g a bull mastiff bitch one day , and seen a lurcher chase a tree rat, i thought at the time it was greyhound, but the bloke said it was colliexgreyx salukixgrey ,and i tagged along

    i was just wondering how many of you started later in life with lurchers im 45 and im just getting going with my first lurcher . i was around lurchers as a youngster but the usual distractions of life , work family and all of that ruined it all . i dont think its a mid life crisis lol i think its made it easier to train my dog im quite patient ,
