boyo 1,398 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 was told yesterday that the owner does an awful lot of work with lurcher rescue taking in abandoned and lost lurchers and rehoming them after getting them right first . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bullyx 10 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Shame censored So ..what's it matter the dogs are well feed and looked after who cares what other people are doing .. To Many people on ere are quick to judge other people. We all should just enjoy the lurcher for what it is weather it be in the ring or on the field each to there own .

boyo 1,398 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 i was one of the 2 lurcher judges at the midlands for the champion lurchers and ive been in to lurchers all my life but would love some smart arse to tell me how to know a lurcher works or not just by judging it in a ring and take it from me no one as ever told me their lurcher doesnt work in all the time ive had lurchers. and tbh it wouldnt make any differance in my decision anyway because all it is at the end of the day is a show ring for the judge to pick which he thinks is the best looking and conditioned dog on the day .and for anyone remotely interested ive never seen the winning dog or owner in my life before or since saturday. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

goran 4 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 that chap roly bred it So its bred out of non workers then !! Have you got proof of this ???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CathNellHarris 4 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 The bitch is by Roly's fawn rough coated bitch Floss, and my smooth dog Phantom, The 1st placed bitch, is full litter sister to the Chatsworth winner Syrus owned by us is from a repeat mating of this pair. The dogs standing 3rd and 4th are from the first mating. Roly does work his dogs, as do we mine were out daytime rabbiting with the Spaniels yesterday and today. nell harris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 he bred 39 of the dogs in the final and all 4 of the winers i dont no if any are workers 39???? How many pups were bred to produce 39 of "show quality"? That does sound a lot of pups! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thomps125 49 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 the fact that it was said over the tannoy that roly would like to say that he bred 39 of the dogs in the ring today and also all the winning four id say that was good enough proof Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eurorider 1 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Louise doesnt just foster Lurchers for a rescue in Sussex. She fosters anything that needs somewhere warm and safe. She currently has an ancient old dog that was thrown out onto the sussex streets and she will probably have him with her for the rest of his life. As for the comments by "Cupid Stunt", i thought your username was a funny joke untilI realised it was just a simple spelling mistake. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CathNellHarris 4 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 What was said over the tanoy was that Roly bred 19 of the finalists, The final 4 dogs were all bred by roly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You and I both know we are going to get the same shit every time J. Until some one comes up with a proven formula to tell if a dog works or not I am as in the dark as you ,and as you rightly said that is NOT a judges function, his, or hers job, is to select the best dog ,according to its confirmation,condition,and movement. A judge is not there to pick out the best worker ,they are in the ring to pick out the best looking dog END OF. ps Hope to see you at the Autumn Show. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
