jcm 2,326 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Iv got one lurcher who will be here for the rest if his life, i thought about getting another lurcher pup in but I don't think I would give it the work it would deserve as I would favour my current lurcher, I had room for another dog so I got a terrier pup for our mooches out flushing to the lurcher etc and hopefully get some rats with him which the lurcher can also assist 1 Quote Link to post

Now he has 3 different fellas after him to work for them... He will be working all weekend, all our plans are on hold... Bills need paying, the van needs money spent on it to pass its nct and to tax it and in winter months we are lucky to have work at all... And hell yes... Our lurcher is going to have to muck in and earn his keep L 1 Quote Link to post
