I remember talking to a lad at a yorkshire show that had a real smart lurcher with him proper stamp it was, he said it was a pickardy lurcher x beardie deerhound lurcher n swore by it..

.

 

Dodger how long you talking ago .. As mine is same but apparently no beardie but I beg to differ .. Mines 4 year old now and the guy who bred her was from Keighly

just recently read an intresting article on this cross in an edrd magazine,the bloke who was creating this strain was mark treadwell,any of you guys ever used ,owned or worked any of these dogs that mark was producing at the time,think i seen some advertised in cwm some years ago,did they ever catch on, how good were they,or were they just a money maker,never heard any reports of them,think the article was written about 2007,just curious.

We had a picardy  lurcher from Mark about 15 years ago. He was the most fantastic  dog, loyal to the hilt,excellent  in the field. Brilliant  loyal companion  and good guard  dog, total love and so gentle  with his family. Sadly  missed.

thanks for the reply. intresting to hear what your experience with this type was, sounds like the type of dog i would certainly have a go with, have you got any pics of him, do you know if mark is still breeding or has he moved onto summat else,strange you never got another from him, or did you go for another type of lurcher,atb.

They were a guarding herding breed; don't think they've been a real working breed since the second world war, when they almost died out. Rumour has it that more than a few breeds were used to widen the gene pool shortly after the war, including Husky: don't know the truth. Two of ours are very good guard dogs, the third is an airhead but not when she's working. I would say that they are a lot more driven than many Border Collie lurchers; there is something more primitive as a hunter, a directness that some Collie lurchers seem to lack, but I've had the odd Collie lurcher very similar, though I'm by no means an expert on Collies. To be honest, I can't really compare them with anything else I've had in lurchers. They aren't very sociable with dogs they don't know, and very much one man dogs.

Skycat is they not 3 types of picardy hurders ? One being a small type with a ruff coat ? I'm sure i see a doc about goat herders who had these types to protect the herd from wolves etc .

The larger ones stayed on outskirts of the herd ranging while small one stayed close ,they looked a hardy bunch

I honestly don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me if locally to the region they come from there are different varieties. I couldn't find any reference to different types online though. Maybe it's a similar situation to the Belgian Shepherd: the Lakenois has practically disappeared from what I've read.

I suppose most areas had its own herders yrs ago ,the doc I see was about wolves in  pyrenees mountain range and the dogs the shepards used to safe guard the flocks .
