my lurcher pup is now nine months looking forward to getting him started. any cross can in theory take foxes it just varies on how consistent they are in catching and how hard they get it when they are finishing the job. i seen a few collie greys do the job well i seen a few whippet crosses gving 100% but struggling. every dog is different. what height is your pup to the shoulder and how is it shaping up do you think it has thrown more to the whiipet or the collie grey. id say its a speed machine. im form the north what about yourself.

can anybody understand this guy because i cant

Skydog what are u talking about?

[Guest ADAM AND HIS DOGS]

as a fellow irishman i cn understand him. he is writing phonetically sort of the way that he would speak. thats how i guessed he was a southern fella. i have to do it alot for you english boys especially the northerners as you sometimes write the wy you talk. but in fairness he is using the text talk and will no doubt get a pm soon enough as the powerrs at be dont allow it.

at 8 mths old he should be having a little look at what is about,do you have other dogs to take him out with or do you go on your own its easier to train a pup if they go out with other dogs that work obviously it is still hard work but not as much the dog might grow a bit more yet and fill out a bit some dogs dont stop till about 16-18 months but this is generally in bulk not in height

He nearly pulls my arm off if he sees a rabbit while on the lead! He caught a rabbit while out for a walk but i dont want to let him do too much as he is young.I have a terrier that but no other lurcher.
