Rule #1 dont get a sauki cross 

Take your time with it,feed it the best meat  n bone you can afford.stock break it early doors,get it recall good,house it well,and have fun.

There is no rush. Thst applies to training, entering and working really. Go slow and steady. Not many dogs have been ruined by being too ready but a huge number have by not being ready enough.

Best advice I've ever had is never to lose your temper. There will be times when theres steam coming out of your ears but if you can control yourself you'll have a better dog in the end.

I've been beating for the first time this year and am amazed at how some shooters treat their spaniels, if I did that to my 2 they wouldn't come near me.

Great advice mate, I was 10 when I was given my first springer, it would never have even entered my mind to beast the dog at that age, and she turned out to be a great little worker for me. I know that’s never going to produce the results and the bond I’m after ??

      **sorry for the double post**
      I know I'm probably going to get the piss severely ripped out of me for asking this, but
      Has anyone ever successfully trained a deaf lurcher (from two working parents and I own her 4 year old sister who is an awesome little bunny basher.) 
      Genetically she has potential, but...what do you experts think? 
      She's not a Double merle by the way, it's extreme piebald/white head. Her vision is perfect

      Evening all,
      I'm lucky enough to have first pick from a friends litter. He’s crossed his Saluki dog with his Collie Bull GH bitch. I’ve only seen videos of the litter as he’s based in UK. Few different characters in the litter, some sit reluctant off in the back ground others play among themselves two are incredibly forward one more than the other. 
       
      What key things do you look for when picking a litter? I’ve mostly ran mine on rabbits, reds and some others.
       
      Go stead,
      oshea

      Just got this stunning little bitch, nearly 12 months old, Deerhound x Bedie grey.
      I used to go out with my dad's Lurchers when I was a kid but I'm a female in my 30's now and struggling to get back into the swing of things.
      I'd love to have this girl knocking down bunnies but I just don't know where to start, I've barely seen a rabbit or and other quarry since I moved here.
      Any of you experts in my area fancy giving me some advice/practical experience (hunting related only)
