Tomhill131 25 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I am into amatuer photo journalism and am interested in writing an article in disbanding the lurchers bad name so that joe blogs doesn't associate every lurcher owner as a knob who is only interested in killing small defenseless bunnies and that every lurcher/sighthound as a vicous dog that is only interested in killing everything am in the Somerset area if anyone thinks its a good idea let me know ATB Tom Quote Link to post

MikeTheDog 153 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 So you've not met any anti's yet then?... Quote Link to post
neil cooney 10,415 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 I have yet to meet someone who sees lurchers and there owners in that way. I have, a lot of farmers. Anything that puts the lurcher and their owners in good light can only be positive. Quote Link to post

johnboynewt 50 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 It's the young chavies who give it a bad name, flying around fields in jeeps slipping on anything they can find.. In my village I'm yet to find someone who doesn't think lurchers and their owners are trouble!!! 2 Quote Link to post

In my village I'm yet to find someone who doesn't think lurchers and their owners are trouble!!! Plenty of old'uns drive the fields where they shouldn't be and cause destruction. Why is it the young ones? Some young ones walk the fields one man and their dog and people don't know they've been on. Quote Link to post

paulf 820 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 most farmers i have met would be more than happy to shoot any lurcher they see on there land, sad but true . as for just walking about where i live most people come over and smooth the dog i have so not all look at lurchers as killers.

Neal 1,784 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 The only time I've had permission was when I had a dog with me. I asked a chap who was shooting on the land about sporting rights and he said it was all spoken for. I said something along the lines of, "OK, thanks anyway," and went on my way. He was so impressed at the behaviour of the dog that he called me back and said he was actually the farmer and gave me permission to do the ferreting...with the dog of course. 1 Quote Link to post
