THE ULTIMATE POT FILLER.....

[Guest AngelicAcid]

Now we are getting somewhere, Land always pays a Large factor in the catching ability of the dog.

So It would have to be a dog that was tough, good feet, flash off the mark, versatile, top turn, top strike, stamina, guts, sense and hunting ability.

me personaly .i like a dog that would not have to have 3 of the above ,flash of the mark ,top turn,top strike ,because i dont know what you mean ,i sooner have a steady brainy dog ,and all the other things you mentiond to go with it .because its at the end of each week that counts if you rely on the the dog to fill the pot .not a flash in the pan

Up until maybe ten or fifteen years ago the best POT FILLERS I saw were mainly Collie type Lurchers with a touch of Deerhound and they were always my favorite. I must admit that I am now seeing some of the best pot fillers that would never see you starve. Some of them are Saluki types some of them are GSP types and some of them have a bit of every thing in them! Up to date the best I have seen have been mongrels but always with a good share of Collie blood. Regards Warren

There's no such thing as the "ultimate pot filler", or the "ultimate all rounder", (even though I still try to find one ! LOL !). There are dogs that are great at somethings, and there are dogs that are decent at most things, but I've never seen the dog that was great at ALL things ! I had LDR's Bruce in my kennel last year for a few months, he was as near as you'd get, very good at most things. My little bitch is good at most things, fur and feather, but has her shortcomings. So; the perfect Lurcher is, to me, a mythical beast; but that shouldn't stop us from trying to find it !

 

Cheers.

not such thing as an ultimate pot filler saw good dogs in all crosses weather saluks crosses collie types ,there all had the one thing a hunting brain with loads of one to one withowner to hone there skills in ,had a good collie type and a good saluk type both took all edible qauury and feather that they sneeked onto i dont think there a type of dog its anrather whats in the dog , butncolie type and saluk types seem to be good pot fillers and crossed make good allround dogs ,in the [bANNED TEXT] hands ,there be terrier crosses to but never had much to do with them

Yep , if you could get the [balance] right[ bit of brain,stamina,agilty,speed,good feet,good coat.Should make a real good pot filler

in my mind the ultimate pot filler has to be a half cross.

[Guest AngelicAcid]

Halfx what?

[Trigger 26]

Halfx what?

a running dog over a inteligent bitch from a line of dogs that are still doing what they were originally bred for, like collies or german shepherds.

[Guest AngelicAcid]

I like all types of working dogs.

Just a thread to air some healthy views.

Its a pity more lurchers arnt bred like in the 70s [bANNED TEXT] the tag on the parents would be H.J.C.K.C R.H.F.D. I noticed from the 80s a lot of one trick pony type lurchers were being bred i can understand it today with this stupid ban though.atb dell
