Tools the lads i go out with are working companions, if ye start loving a dog and treating it like ye best mate ye make excuses for faults and the dogs lack of skill or progress next thing ye know ye

Working companion, you have to have a bond with a dog to get the best out of it, unless your a point and slip merchant and require little or no training, but to me that is not what a lurcher is all a

Its a working dog site, you shouldnt have to justify your reason on here.

You'll never get the best out of a dog without putting love into it.

Feck off fella i had a terrier jack on me a few weeks ago,silly me all i had to do was love the little b*****d and it would of stayed instead of waving the white flag with its tail tucked up its arse :laugh:

How much time have you put into the dog? Why did it jack? How long have you had it? Will it be up for sale now because it hasn't met your expectations?

I put plenty time into it ,it jacked because it was a wanker and no its joined the rest of the wankers that havent made my expectations in jacker heaven :thumbs:

Sorry Hedz but I dont think you cancompare a earth dog to a lurcher, as there is a heap more training envolved which needs a bond.

I got my first longdog when I was 17. He was a 1st cross deerhound greyhound. A travelling boy gave me him because he'd jacked on a hare the day before and he was "only fit for a bullet!". The dog was 11 months old. He was full of mange and you could see his vertebrae through what was left of his coat. I fed him up, got rid of the mange and took him out with me everyday with catapult or airgun. When he was full grown he was 30" TTS and weighed 100lbs. He caught a fair few bunnies, but on the tighter ground of Mitcham Common never really had a chance to get into his full stride. He never had the stamina for hares, he'd been hammered too young. What he did excel at was bigger stuff. We would course foxes all over South London and Surrey. In parks, recreation grounds, school playing fields, industrial estate car parks, the sewerage works. He always ran single handed and caught and killed loads. These were the days before the internet, when all we had was The Shooting News (now The Countrymans Weekly), I knew only what I read in books, a couple of old boys taught me and what I learnt for myself. Was my dog exceptional? Nope. Did he exceed everyones expectations? Yes he did.

If people give dogs a chance they could be surprised by what the dog does. If someone hasn't got the skill or experience to get the best out of a dog then maybe they should look at themselves and not the dog. How many dogs are up for sale or rehoming from 6 months old and onwards? Loads. Because the dogs are no good or because the owners can't get the best out of them or have caused faults in the dog?
