Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 I had a sal/whip/grey what did the same thing. Absolute twat of a dog. Blame myself for 90% of it - bad trainer and I was a first time lurcher owner. But he was a nightmare. Luckily/unluckily he broke his neck lamping. I guess he was never meant to be. He taught me so much though and HOPEFULLY it's made me a better dog trainer and owner. Atb. Gaz Quote Link to post
