Catcher 1 639 Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 like so many topics on here this could go on forever the best pup for one person is not the best pup for another .i wouldnt buy a pup that i hadnt seen the sire and dam work definatley wouldnt take breeders word even if i knew them ,i only trust my own judgement nobody elses of what i want. like i said earlier i dont tend to go for forward dogs as they usually stubborn with short attention span making them difficult to train. the pups that hang back in the corner are 9 times out of 10 going to be nervous and hard to socialise some do snap out of it when they leave litter but why take chance i like a dog thats somewhere in the middle not too forward not too shy thats why i spend as long as possible watching the litter interact with each other, and size has nothing to do with it its more about shape comformation Hi mate .The two lurchers in my kennels.I can trace the bloodling back to a collie x i owned .in 1994.When picking a pup i find it hard making my mind up.atb.

Catcher 1 639 Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I pick a pup that's not to dominant and not to quite. Try throwing a ball and see which pup is the most excited by it, dose not have to be the first pup to chase it , you are looking for the one who has that predator look in his eyes. Don't pick a pup that bunny hops, you want good use of all its legs. You can also try using sounds to see how quick the pups respond to them . You want an alert yet calm tempered pup and of course, one who thinks your the bees knees Hi mate.I am not saying i cant pick a pup.Iknow what i want in a dog but at seven weeks.You dont know what it will turn out like.As for throwing a ball mate.No disrepect my mates would give me pellter as i would them.Most lurcher pups will respond to a ball.Sorry mate dont find your input much help atb. Catcher 1 That was a bit harsh the guy was only trying to help you...is it your time of the month? No its the dragons and i am champing for it What are you 2 like Jack & Victor out of still game lol Hi mate ,I think undisputed is staking me Quote Link to post
