Lurchers in America?

[Sorley x 32]

hello

 

I figure this is a good place to get this solved.

 

A relative of mine from states was over here and saw me lurcher and thought he was a really lovely dog

 

So his dog back home is getting on and so he would like a lurcher to replace his. He did a bit of scratching around but to no real joy, so asked me if I knew of how he could get hold of one.

 

Well I do know that I can get one exported from here at expense but then realised what a great thing THL is. So posting this to see if anyone out there can help. In an ideal world he'd be looking for something with collie are plenty of brains.

 

any help or pointers would be very gladly received.

 

cheers

There are many coursing clubs in CA,...but the last dog i would want there is a Collie cross....the rabbits over here are nomadic, and kinda act like hares....they do have hares (jack rabbits) in CA, and i know they hold events for pure bred sighthounds i.e Salukis, Afgans, Borzoi, Greyhounds etc..

 

If i lived in CA i would go for a Staghound with a dash of Saluki blood in it...should be ok for anything out there then, and be able to take the heat..

 

Kye,..

Yes matie its the same Gary Hosker..

He imported 2 pure working deerhounds from me in the early nineties, he also has contacts over there that might be able to help you. PM me if you need his email address..Like its been mentioned not all dogs aclimatise to the weather over there, depending which state. Staghound crosses seem to be able too, and there are a lot of them over there.
