Yeah, in the John Holmes book he says they can "survive on an oily rag."

It was by Rob Graham and the bitch was called Holly and the article was written in March '97.

Mines got a high prey drive and will attempt to catch just about anything. They need an outlet to let of steam.if mine doesn't work cattle say on a Sunday and only gets a run she's super wound up to get at them Monday morning and is twice as aggressive to them as she normally is. So just a walk round the block or park for them as a pet must be absolute mental torture for them and I've seen one that found his own job in life which was attacking car wheels

Tempting..but I've got a collie greyhound that will prob outlive the cattle dog so dont really need another lurcher.i think we will use a collie and get some handy farm dogs then id be more tempted to use a greyhound over one of them

Good advice Max...

I wouldn't want a temperament like that in a dog. As they say, too much dog for ALOT of people.
