Seen similar on a few occasions  

A mate bough a bullx from decent lines. First night out, it mullered the rabbit, swallowed it whole, then proceeded to the next county

I'd be fecking gutted, regardless of the cost of the dog. 

I know recall work is important with running dogs but I didnt know they had the tendancy to just feck off

When they fuuck off, they really do piss off

I've had mine fuuck off down the side of a ridge into a valley (pyrenees) completely blank me and chase a herd up the side of another mountain. A great big white streak in the distance. Luckily he does like me a little bit, so he decided to return after 30-40mins of me standing in a wind funnel 3000m up....... CNUT!

Get your self a location tracking collar mate so you know what distance he’s/she’s fecked off in good for retracing were the dogs been to see if anything has been dropped

Him being white, it's easy to see blood on him lol. I even said to my mate at the time "if he comes back with blood on him, it's gonna be a long day"

300 euros transport, 90 euros passport/vet fees for vaccines etc, plus 300 euros cost of pup for my current sapling, both parents very well bred well and tested Capote lines one side and Chapote lines the other.

only downside to that though sandy is you not seeing the liiter in person....it would be far more if you traveled in person...

that said provided there bred right and you have seen a few pics and vids of the pups....its the same gamble as picking one whilst your there

Recall is important it doesn’t matter how well trained a dog is Though if it’s committed an wants on deer I’ve heard story’s of obedient dogs being taken the distance after deer an what running dog don’t fancy it’s chances on deer if one percents itself there’s not many runners who won’t try there luck

My lurcher wouldnt dare chase deer yet there’s no stopping the terriers the little feckers as for recall it’s the most important command and easiest learned if started early enough

True, a video isn't the same as hands on but can get a reasonable look at the ones on offer and in truth its the breeding I was after, Galgos throw Galgos after all  . It was a level litter, she was the only one that stood out having a little extra white on the neck,  my 4 year old lad wanted to call her stripy so its Rayas.

The last one went south when Covid hit so had a rethink and went back even closer to the breeding of my old bitch again, decided against a male as planned and went for a bitch instead, on consideration i decided it was just easier to keep to one sex. So almost identical  to the old ones lines so hopefully will do as well as she did, I'll stick a post up across the road about her in a few weeks as well as an update on the two year olds progress.

This first season un of mine she’s obedient an has a very good recall she’s stock broken the only thing she’s not stock broke to is chickens I’ve never had her round them an probably never will tbh . I really like this bitch she’s perfect for me in every way she’s driven an game an we’ve a very good bond with one another she’s my shadow the apple in my eye an all that but I’ve not got a hope in hell of calling her off deer,fox,hare or rabbits there on her list of quarry if they get up accidents will an have happened.but I guess it’s what you use the dog for I guess I can’t ask a dog to track shot deer when it suits me only or retrieve shot fox or the odd hare but when she’s mooching about only look for rabbits if there getting up in front of her it’s all fair game in her eyes she don’t care about no law.

I was offered a day out beating a few pens before the birds went down for a keeper few yrs ago., with a member off here.. Pulled up into the yard and there's a massive herd of deer behind a high fence with electric wires... Gets out, say the hellos, and the Welsh jokes startgets the old lurcher bitch out the back... First thing she does is off the back of the pick up.... Across the yard and  trys jumping over the fencestupid dog had a proper shock and run and jumped straight back into the truckI could of died keeper found it funny mind
