BS40liam 203 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I have heard on many occasions about lurchers and terriers kennelled together end badly, now my lurcher was 10 months old when we got the terrier pup and they get on like a house on fire but as this is my 1st type of terrier like this that actually belong to me instead of a family dog and although they get on fine do you think I would be better kenneli mg them separately as the terrier matures or would they be fine because of they early bonding between the two? For what it's worth they're both bitches. What you all think? Quote Link to post
bobby blackheart 1,209 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 never kennel a lurcher and terrier together EVER 3 Quote Link to post
BS40liam 203 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Ok lol ill bear that in mind, at the moment they both sleep in the house but as soon as the kennels are built they will be outside, but just wanted to make sure and hear different opinions. Cheers Quote Link to post
gnipper 6,874 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I'd kennel them seperate if I were you mate especially bitches, seasons can mess with their heads. Is the lurcher a terrier cross too? I've known of people who's bitches after one scrap could never be together again as they hold a grudge. 1 Quote Link to post

Wxm 1,638 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 what about 2 terriers, dam and son together in same run seperate boxes? would that not be an accident waiting to happen as soon as she's in season Quote Link to post
Born To Dig 38 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 not if you seperate them when you see first signs of bitch coming into season Quote Link to post
bobby blackheart 1,209 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 dont risk it-if they are workers they need their own space.imo atb Quote Link to post
Wxm 1,638 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 not if you seperate them when you see first signs of bitch coming into season ahh that's too much ball ache for me, Id only keep 1 sex either all dogs or all bitches. the missus has he little fanny lickers in the house all bitches and when I get a hand to finish my run i'll most likely have bitches myself due to the fact that when the missus dogs come in heat they wont start yapping or going of there food ect Quote Link to post
Born To Dig 38 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 i was only asking cause im in the middle of building new kennels to but id rather trust my dog and bitch together than the 2 bitches Quote Link to post

gnipper 6,874 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 ive got a lurcher kenneled with 2 chiwawas and a yorkie terrier, never had a problem, all eat together aswell Never had a problem maybe but if/when you do it will be a bad problem. If it kicks off and the lurcher loses its rag them three won't be much of a challenge for it. I've got 2 dogs and a bitch, they will hunt and play together and are fine in the car but I'd never feed or kennel them together. The few scuffles my dogs have had over the years have been over food.
