shepp 2,285 Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 I just wondered if anybody could recommend any books on training lurchers or working dogs in general. I find that all the lurcher books i've read don't go into the subject in any great depth. Many thanks Shepp Quote Link to post
tote 857 Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Two books that I think are well worth reading are- GUNDOGS-their learning chain. and Training spaniels,both written by Joe Irving. I know they are not aimed specifically at lurchers but it gives you an insight into how a professional gundog trainer works Quote Link to post
mole catcher 1 Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 2 books by Ger McKenner on greyhound conditioning and all aspects of fittness are well worth getting hold of, or keep an eye out at the car boots for his 3 vids, if you see them buy them. top stuff Quote Link to post
