day worker 296 Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Does anybody use their lurchers for this? My kids are pestering me to take the dog because he loves chasing a ball. I can't see any problem with it as it should add to his fitness and sharpen up his retrieval. Quote Link to post

neems 2,406 Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Try agility mate,that'll impress the kids more than sprinting back and forth for a tennis ball like a neurotic collie! 1 Quote Link to post
jhiggins 48 Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 I use my lurcher for Flyball and she does not yap at all. The other dogs in her team are very vocal and at first i was concerned that she would become vocal too. She is completely silent throughout the race and it has not affected her lamping etc at all.
