Giro 2,648 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 also what did you mean by it will not live with a decent one? Meaning you may get yours eyes opened with a different dog.. As a young lad I never owned lurchers and went out with friends( mostly being a pit pony) lol.. I always thought there dogs were amazing cause they caught rabbits.. But since owning my own dogs and mixing in different circles ,looking back these dogs would be below average.. None retrivers, hard mouthed and doubled up on anything bigger than a rabbit.. Your current dog only has to please yourself and that the really important bit,however 95% of lads on here would not even give it kennel space.. Your dogs limited. a bigger, stonger, faster and more robust lurcher when give you much more.. Get yourself something exciting. You never know they might repeal the ban and you could have a hare and deer dog ready for action ATB 3 Quote Link to post

jack2o 45 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Deary me ! busy old night on THL Bottom line is, poeple get the dogs that they want. If they keep them happy, then they are good dogs, They might be failures in others eyes, but the owner may well be pleased as punch with them My dog is rough, cause I wanted one, He is no world beater, so all the Hancock haters slate him, but ,, I love him, he`s mine, he catches and I wouldn`t get rid of him now. Oh and by the way, if you do get another lurcher, don`t worry,, your old dog will still get some work, as long as you pay attention to him. Think I`ll leave this thread to the haters . Show dogs don`t work !!!!! HA what a load of old shit ATB show dogs? what they got to do with it he wants a dog for working lol Quote Link to post

crorider 174 Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 also what did you mean by it will not live with a decent one? Meaning you may get yours eyes opened with a different dog.. As a young lad I never owned lurchers and went out with friends( mostly being a pit pony) lol.. I always thought there dogs were amazing cause they caught rabbits.. But since owning my own dogs and mixing in different circles ,looking back these dogs would be below average.. None retrivers, hard mouthed and doubled up on anything bigger than a rabbit.. Your current dog only has to please yourself and that the really important bit,however 95% of lads on here would not even give it kennel space.. Your dogs limited. a bigger, stonger, faster and more robust lurcher when give you much more.. Get yourself something exciting. You never know they might repeal the ban and you could have a hare and deer dog ready for action ATB Cheers mate. Always knew he was never gonna do what a purpose bred lurcher could do though, never ever claimed he was anything special, just said he was surprising for his breeding and that he'd catch his fair share of rabbits. Even if he does end up being my ferreting and mouching dog ill always find work for him and hell always get the odd go on the lamp no matter how good this other dog turns out to be 1 Quote Link to post
