Hello people I'm in the stoke on Trent area recently got my own place and I am now settled in and ready for a dog,lived with my parents until now and they allways had a variety of dogs since I was a babe in arms currently own two good loyal springer spaniels who iv spent alot of time with and are well trained more as pets than working but they spend alot of time in the field. I can now have the time space and money to get my own dog a breed I'v always admired the LURCHER hoping to work it plenty of good quarry my jus want some advise on where to look for a good quality pup and any tips you guys have for a young lad starting out in the sport would be greatly appreciated cheers lads will be a very proud man when getting my first pup

If your used to teaching a dog as bright as a springer I would oppted for a collie cross,1st cross or 3/4 bred.

Would have been better if you had described what you plan to do, for example are you into ferreting, are rabbits going to be your game?

[Stokespringer21 40]

Haven't really thought about ferreting will be using the lamp as regular as I can and yes rabbits will be my main game but there will come a time when I want more than just rabbits

Collie whip grey sounds a good bet theres some cracking walkin on my door step and I aslo work nights doing security and I'm able to take the dog with me the sites a partly disused distrabution site where im patroling most the night.the place is surrounded by open fields the place is teaming with rabbit fox pheasant rats and even ground nesting seagulls which the company are paying a pest controller to sort out you wouldn't belive how much quarry I see on there on a nightly basis.
