    You're a peddler if you're looking at things from a money making perspective. Perpetuating the line of a proven dog is a good thing if done responsibly. Sadly, most people don't do it that way. Look at that Hancock w***er - he knows he's passing hip displaysia around and he could care less Only concerned about the £ - not about the hassles, heartbreak etc he's causing. If I bred from my bitch I'd go into knowing that the foremost concern is the lineage not how much dosh I might make.

    Um, Hancock has been throwing dogs with hip displaysia Wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.

    Yep, keep him on home turf till he's got all his jabs. Parvo is a wicked virus. There's an 'epidemic' round here apparently My 11 week old bitch has a rabbit dummy on a bit of washing line. Been using that to teach her to 'find it', fetch it to hand, etc. Good way to bond with her. Get all your basics down before you go near the bunnies, especially his recall, to avoid any unpleasant accidents. If your dog is looking like he's going to be a big one, imo I wouldn't start running it too much until over a year. I feed mine a raw diet: tripe, pilchards, various mince, bashed up chic

    Have you posted the info here mate? http://www.lurcher.org/lsuk/ And here too http://www.doglost.co.uk/ Best of luck, hope you find the pup

    Cool Thanks for that Moll ... all sites bookmarked for future spending sprees

    Not sure which one you've got but Moll probably posted this one: http://www.lurcher.org/llink/forum/index.php

    Too right - the couple who gave her to me are really nice They like to know where the pups are. They gave Griff to me as well (in my signature) and he really was a belting dog. I can't believe how lucky I am

    Wow Moll she's growing up And out She looks top notch. Gorgeous bunch you've got.
  10. lurchergrrl
    She is norty Moll, no doubt about it. She sounds like a herd of elephants when she's belting round the house. My Grey keeps trying to intimidate her but she's having no luck - Stella is a force to be reckoned with. Not the laid back hound her brother was, this one's a proper diva. The collar was the only one that fit Besides, what girl doesn't look good in pink

    Blimey, look at these feet!

    My lurcher Griff was killed in an horrific accident last weekend - hit by a train He was a crackin' dog, too young to go. My best mate ... Called up the folks I got him from 15 months ago, and the had an 11 week old bitch there. Offered her to me for nowt, which was really kind of them. Said they knew I'd give her a good home, which I will. Am hoping to take her training seriously and bring her on. With Griff I just mooched about and had fun. I'm hoping this one will be all that and more. Sire 1/4 bull 3/4 grey, dam beddie/grey x beardie/grey. Just wonder what y'all think of

    Just had one of the young lads round to mine ... some d*ck has stole his three ferrets in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Two polecats and one albino, all wearing collars. Please pm me if you have any info.

    I was there all weekend, went to the Lurcher Link coursing on Saturday and entered in Sunday's EOELC events. Had to pitch my tent in the dark on Friday (never pitched a tent before), went two days with no shower, had quite possibly the very worst hair days of my life, looked like crap -which is NOT good when you're a single girl surrounded by blokes - but I had probably the best weekend ever. Was my first time coursing the dogs at an event and I was proud of them - especially Griff. Didn't win anything but I don't give a toss: dogs had fun, I had fun. Thanks to everyone who organized it,

    Ta Frank, I'm confident she can learn. Have to be, 'cause I'm not parting with her. The cats were here first so she'll just have to leave them alone. I've only had her two weeks and she's miles off from being settled so we've a way to go. Atm I've got her on a long lead in the house. She hasn't killed the cats or even really hurt them - but she'd like to!
  16. lurchergrrl
    I'd just spay her and get her into a home with someone who's maybe just a weekend moocher. Probably be a lot less expensive for you, and a lot less painful for her. No point in moving her on to someone who might breed her if she's got dodgy feet.

    Ya cat was fine, I was literally standing right there so was able to grab hold of the dog. She's funny about it, some days she won't even look at them, other days she goes looking for them. Going to borrow a remote water spray collar to see if I can get her to stop going near them. She's great with small dogs and seems to prefer having a play with them versus bigger dogs. It's just the cats. She fooled the rescue into thinking she wasn't interested in cats by using that 'I'm not looking but actually I AM looking' thing that dogs do. I hope, since she's only 14 months old, that I can train
  18. lurchergrrl
    Don't think I'll be too surprised - I saw what she did to one of my cats Bloody good job I was standing next to her at the time or she would've had kitty for tea

    I've just got a young bitch from a rescue who was classed as a non-chaser. When out walking with her she seems proper keen. Still trying to teach her that eating my cats is WRONG but otherwise I might let her have a bash at a bunny if the situation arises. I just thought grey's seem a bit spindly for working, guess I was wrong?
  20. lurchergrrl
    Um, slightly off topic but what do you mean by 'done' your neighbours cats? This is a great thread, as I'm not really working Griff in the technical sense, but I do like to go out mooching about. So far he's only been on rough ground, in the woods etc. Seems keen when were out and follows his nose around a lot. Hoping to get out soon and get him coursing with his sister, who is already working and doing well. Hopefully he'll pick it up from her 'cause I've never done any of this before

    Well I can understand that if you got a dog for foxes and it didn't fancy them, you may well be disappointed. But you take on a dog and work with it the best you can, and accept it for what it is. If things don't work out I think you've an obligation to do your best by the dog and either keep it as a pet or work very hard to find the best possible home for it. To just say trade it in, as if it's a thing, is total knob-speak That attitude is why so many of them are dumped, tied up and left etc. So it doesn't want to kill a fox, fine - maybe it'll be great on bunnies, or maybe it'll be great w

    I've always gone for the one who's the middle of the road - not the big fat pushy one who's jumping round all over the place, and not the quiet one who sits there looking bored. But when I got Griff he was 12 weeks old and there were three pups left: I whistled and he's the one who came over to me for a cuddle I agree, you'll know which one is right for you, and you'll get out what you put in to the dog. Good luck.
  23. lurchergrrl
    That kind of attitude pisses me off They're not old cars you knob, they're dogs. People who just toss them away as useless without making an effort ought not to have them in the first place.
  24. lurchergrrl
    All that tells the dog is 'hey, don't rub your nose in your p*ss' All logical advice above, except for the nose rubbing. If you catch him in the act, tell him NO and take him outside. If you come across a puddle, clean it up. Crates are great house training aids defo get one if he keeps doing it. I used to wear a lead round my waist with my wolf x as she was a nightmare to house train so I kept her with me all the time. That, combined with the crate, finally cracked it. Good luck, he's a lovely looking little fella

    I've had my lad since he was 12 weeks and he still chases the cat if it runs in the garden. Thankfully he knows that NO means NO. Recently got two 14 week old kittens as well and so far all are accounted for and in one piece. Moll those pictures are fab!!
