bigbailey 90 Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Right folks in need of some advice off you people who know. Just let my rescue lurcher off for the first time in open ground and she just got hold of a scent and went off hunting on her own. Is this just something to do with breed. Her recall in a confined space is 100%. Is this just from bad training by the previous owner. If anyone in the midlands can show me the ropes on how to go on and show me how there lurcher works while using with a ferret that will be a great help. Quote Link to post

The fact that she is a rescue, is probably down to her taking off when she gets into a field, lurchers, well trained wont do it, training pups doesn't seem to be a big issue with some owners ,they seem to be more interested in entering early before a good bond is made between dog and owner, the dog not finding the owner very interesting and maybe a little confusing will find its own interests when it comes of age, and in this case its hunting rabbits on its own, the recall is good at home because there are no distractions, best of luck ,, Quote Link to post
