Tumbler

[sniper 30]

Hi, your dog looks really nice, but the man who is selling the dogs as 'tumblers' is being dishounest because that type of dog died out over 150 years ago. I posted information in a previous topic on this subject, which I researched into the old breed. Perhaps this burrell fella should call his dogs by a different name, maybe "get seriously injured when I catch a rabbit" dogs

Heres the link http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/index...29136&st=45

I hope you enjoy your lurcher. Make the best of him!

I think youd better read his articles again mate the name dont mean they chuck themselves at stuff what i call a shit or bust dog but that they have a smaller leg so stay in contact more with the ground well that his theory anyroad.

And he stresses you can get a lurcher or a tumbler in the same litter confused i was too.

Im not into genetics as its not worth it in dogs what you get down on paper dont neccessarily come out in the pups but short legs are a dominant gene so once the strain gets a short leg it should keep it but with jeffs dogs being so many crosses which i dont mind in a jukel they throw both long and short.

Ive never owned one myself but been out with two from the late eighties and they werent slouches and a very good type of dog.

Hes got some good coursing blood in them to.
