Hadn't really considered bull x as just assumed they would steam roll into anything and everything regardless but has definitely made me think
-
In what way? If do gooders going to film you or whatever then surely makes no difference what type of lurcher your running? Depending which side of the line you want to run then all the same quarry is about from the 80's & 90's. Your either on 1 side of the line or the other regardless of dog breed? Genuine question so apologies if doesn't come across like it.

No worries, hope season goes well for you both!
-
Very specific, thanks for your opinion, certainly food for thought

We had spaniels and collie x greys when was a kid and I've only really had spaniels. Lurcher I've just lost being my first lurcher I've owned myself so no idea what a pet staff is like to own. But by sounds of it quite trainable

Lovely looking dog!
-
Thanks. If taking 1 on as a pup are they biddable? I've got in my head they would be extremely head strong and I might not be able to offer it the kind of work it would enjoy most....albeit Ive never owned one or been around many so could be well wide of the mark.

I've just gone back and read that topic to gain some sort of idea what's going on and must say it was.....eye opening

I'm sure I'll regret this, but care to enlighten me?

Has been muted to me a few times recently.

Thanks, definitely need as much luck as I can get.
-
Yeah I understand that, just wanted to hear peoples opinion, maybe open my eyes a little to what could be a possibility

Cheers mate, Been toying with the idea of trying to find a sal x grey / collie x grey. Or something similar, cant imagine that cross going to be easy to find though, everything im seeing lately is heavy bull cross. Your not the first to mention collie x though so starting to look like the way to go.

Looking to get some opinions from folk who have been around this much longer than me and are far more knowledgeable. Was absolutely gutted that lost my dog this year. And although we were absolutely useless in the field together, she was awesome. Been a few months now and starting to think about another lurcher. I'm in absolutely no rush and want to hear peoples opinion of what cross they think would suit. I've spoken to a few people and respect their opinion massively so what they have suggested has been my focus so far, but since I know very few people in the lurcher world, fi

No need to apologise pal ?

A tree double? ? possibly shared permission but as far as I'm aware we the only ones allowed on there?

Hopefully so, I don't think I've ever really known the numbers that a lot of folk talk about and get, but getting 20 around here was a very very good day 15 years ago, nowadays that would be dreaming. But I've had a lot of enjoyable days out catching 1's and 2's and even some enjoyable days catching none.
-
Definitely mate, we haven't had big number days for about 15 years now so it's all about enjoying it and having a good crack with mates, any rabbits are a bonus. We managed 7 today though which was good going for around here.
-
Just a few pics from our season so far, 4 days out with the ferrets and currently on 17 rabbits. Not big numbers comoared to a lot of you but much better numbers than we've been used to for the last few years. Hope your all having a good season!

Just ordered Moobli and had a quick read of description for Kenzie, will be adding Kenzie to the list for my next round of book buying. ?
-
Have got "The Feather Theif" and "The Falcon Thief" on order should be here just after Christmas, thanks for the recommendation, looking forward to giving them a read ?

I like the sound of this, will definitely look for a copy and get it ordered. Thanks ?

I've got lurcher and springer in house and tbh both absolutely love lounging around, but both will also put miles in when needed without slowing down. We did 4.5 miles yesterday morning and the cocker was hardly out of the bushes and the lurcher was following intently. Both came home and crashed for rest of the day. Agreed though that the lurcher is definitely lazier in the house, lurcher was much more difficult the house train though!
-
I have to somewhat disagree, all my family had springers for years and 90% of them have been house dogs, now all have cockers, my current cocker is now 7 and has been the easiest house dog I've known. I agree they need the exercise but don't all dogs? My cocker will happily go hunt for 4 miles or stroll around for 4 minutes, when she's home she's more than content to sit on the sofa and chill out. She's never been 1 for bouncing off the walls or running around the house 100mph, maybe we got lucky, but I'd have another spaniel in a heartbeat, perfect dogs for long walks and sitting at home with

Thanks for that was an interesting read, coming from someone that has this type, 1st hand account always better than the information the Internet can give me. Tbh is a little big for me, saying that, her in my picture is 26" and nearly 60lbs. Have seen a few pictures of this type and as you say, they don't look like lurchers and all seem to carry the look of the gsd. He sounds like hell of a dog and like you've had some good fun with him! Thanks again ?
