Good all round little dogs,mine seems to turn his hand to anything lamping /ferret work/ rat/ even retreives,pigeons crows and such,very hard little dogs they give there all when working,mine is really in his first year for work currently around 18 month old, 22 tts last time I checked, and a real pleasure to own,he has a few very small possesion faults,but skycat, has helped me with advice on that and things are progressing very nicely, I am not going to say they are the best at what they do,as they are some very capable breeds out there,but worth a try

thanks for the replys, i really like the look of that bitch Leveller. Darren do you have any pics of yours?

they are one type of lurcher i very much like.

these are pictures taken over a seven month period, I had some of him covering nets but cant find them, each to his own but I like my running dog, and if this season goes well I might invest in a bitch or put him to stud,I have a few good dogs who are now retired and age is taking its toll on them, so I need to plan carefully thats why I got him,The bottom picture is the oldest him retreiveing shot crows, the top picture was taken 2 weeks ago

To vary nice dogs , are they bothe first x's ?

When I got mine I was told his dam was a lurcher bred from an austrailian cattle dog,the sire was a racing wippet,he is alot heavier built than I expected, thing is this does not seem to hinder him very quick off the mark,and agile in the turns, having said that it is a long time since I saw a good wippet run, so its hard for me to give a good working comparison,

Leveller how tall is you dog?????????????????
