When you talk of peaking a dog and I could be very wrong on this but my opinion is you bring an animal into peak for a certain day/date/time like you would a game dog or match dog you've got a date to get them into peak condition after that they get a rest before there started to be conditioned again. Unless your matching all through season why do you need a lurcher at most tuned when you can't keep it there for very long ? Surely for a good normal hunting lurcher that does abit of everything just need to be fairly fit and sound ? I no where your coming from my idea is to have two good mo

Just my opinion lads 3 weeks short walks 3 weeks walking and galloping on the beach 6 weeks road work ( running behind the van at about 10 to 15 mph )3 to four weeks odd hunt and galloping in the field and road work up to about 5 or 6 miles a day.Then i would think yer dog should peek about the same time as the game december january just my opinion .Oh and of course the food they get would match the work their doing.

I agree with yea fuji i do not hunt in the closed season.So i think you like me have a bit of age and should know that 16 weeks is roughly what it takes to get a dog ready.These dogs have lay around for over four months in fact the red one a bit longer.She got a bad cut needed 28 stiches just coming to the end of the season.

very nice dogs as well, like the brown and white dog, looks like bit of collie in it, how they bred then .? Thanks bird i have the breed since about 1988. Their was said to be collie some where before that but any thing i used had no collie in.

Its all about the men just like the anties give the little rabbit or fox human feelings .The dog men do the same fact is their not human and if yea sell they forget about you in a short time .Not to say if yea meet them they wont remember yea but their not thinking theirs daddy or mammy .So if yea get a good price and yea have a younger or maybe a better one coming on why not sell.

On the first of dec i went with a lad to show him a bitch run.He brought me to land where he said the big ears could not be killed .Very little game after 2 hours one jumped let her out she ran him for about 2 mins killed him out of sight and carried him back .Walked on until near dark no more runs he said he would like to see her on another but he would give me 500euros if i wanted very generous of him i thought.

Thanks bill hard to say how their bred .I have their mothers line since the 80s which would have been mostly irish terrier dearhound and some saluki.Their mothers father was snatch that G.O had he was of captian.Their father is a dog that a young lad that hunts with us has hes a good little dog .Very little saluki in him more terrier i would say but hes a real game dog.

He had a wheaten called rocky and a wheaten cross called rambo .I dont think either ever killed a dog .They were put to a few bitches rambo was put to a couple of greyhounds.I had a pup of one of them not a hare dog but rabbit fox or some thing rougher no problem.Ted was put to a couple of wheaten bitches and one lucher bitch.Theirs a man on here had a pup of a son of rocky to a greyhound some people say he was a good hare dog.I was there 30 years ago and he had a wheaten chained to the ground and every other dog terrier and lurcher knew how near they could get within safety of the chain and 1
