Taz-n-Lily 62 Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Just to introduce myself. Dave, 62, bringing on a deerhound X lurcher - now a little over 2. I'm experienced with dogs, but this is the first lurcher I've had. He's a house dog who will be used for rabbiting when he's ready. He had a few bunnies in the Spring/Summer, including one when he was on the lead. Squirrels made him hard-mouthed so I've kept him off them. Rabbits he kills before returning (retrieve not the best though). We're cutrrently working on recall to whistle. Most times he'll come in from over 100 yards away straight away, but he's still easily distracted. http://i758.photobucket.com/albums/xx221/dogbloke/CNV00003.jpg Quote Link to post

Taz-n-Lily 62 Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Hi guys, The dog was a rescue, so I believe grey/deerhound and at least one sort of terrier. He stand 26 and a bit at the shoulder. I git him before he went into rescue so he still has his bits. I'll keep him entire - as graham pointed out - canny nads! He's still very puppy-ish, but settling down gradually - I believe deerhound x's can take ages to mature. I'll look out a pic of him standing to give a better idea of his stature. Quote Link to post

Taz-n-Lily 62 Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) dont worry pal theres plenty on here whos dog get the same amount of action week in week out :laugh: Fair enough . Here's a pic of him late Spring 2012. Still on the lead because there's a busy road 40 yards away, and lambs in the fields. The river Wye (5 yards below him here) is no problem unless it's in very heavy spate. He's a great swimmer! His ribs show now, and he's generally much more defined. He's being broken to stock gradually. Edited December 23, 2012 by Taz-n-Lily Quote Link to post
