Working Lurchers

[earthpig 0]

Their seems to be a lot of people in some of these shows with non working lurchers ,i had a chat with a couple the other day and they where asking questions about lurchers in general and i asked if theirs work and they said no we only show them and they said the amount of people that want pups of us is more than we can supply ,i havnt got a problem with that but cant the shows start putting working T & L show you see the ones all dressed in traditional country clothing , Its not a knock at you if you dress like this for the shows but come on you can see the working dog men or is it just me ? Rosetes to ruin heard it before the shows arent what they used to be full of working dogs

To right mate i been going to em since i could drive and you only see a few of the old faces with their dogs just a social day for them

come on lets start taking our working dogs their after next season lets reclaim these shows as working dog shows

These people who just show their dogs, are just as entitled to a day out as you are, !!!!!

 

Why should it affect the way you work your dog.??? at least now you know to avoid buying a pup from those people you

spoke to, and they were decent enough to tell you that they only show their dogs.....

 

Or Perhaps it was that they didn't want to advertise their dogs abilities to a total stranger,

 

Yis Mars....

Seems to be the norm at the moment, i met a guy at a show who had a lurcher with him, a real looker it was. When i asked him how good was its working abilities, he looked totally shocked. Oh no i dont work it, but its won loads of shows and been placed plenty of times. Can you believe it same guy had over 50 ferrets, now to me a ferret is a good little working companion, what the hell do you look for in a show ferret, it beats me.

Mars, yes they are intitled to be their and they are wecome but all i am saying some people just want the image all i am saying is the more non working dogs in a working world the young lads who dont know what they are buying can get taken in by these show crased fakers and end up with pups out of generations of non working lurchers no wonder the dog home and add traders are full of adult lurchers ,workers keep them that way if you cant workem det your self something else ,people are using these shows as a working mans crufts

yes blucher i have seen it , if you look at lurchers that used to be about they have all but gone bar a few no wonder the bull types have made a big apperance on the working dog front but even some of tes are starting to go that way but i will say their is plenty of good guys with proper workers in that type& theirs a few smaller workers left lets keep it that way

i got approached at the mid welsh game fair by a bloke, i aked him if his dog was a working dog. He replied in an aggressive manner this dog will kill anything badger, fox or deer i would slip it on anything. The dog looked like it struggled to walk never mind catch anything. I replied ive got an alligator at home, the bloke said he'd do it. :wankerzo4: :wankerzo4: :wankerzo4: The blokes name was bythell or something

Look you get tossers in all games the genuine guys are the non bravado type who actualy care for their dogs and respect their quarry you dont have to be mindless to be a working dog man but some think the two go hand in hand

It all boils down to how serious you take these shows .The ones i rarely attend ar just that and one thing about the rosett hunters their dogs are all ways in good nick.I think some of the working lurcher lads should stop takeing these shows so seriously and just see them as a chance to meet up and chew the fat about their dogs and escapades.atvb dell
