I also want sommat that will return almost as fast as it went out. I've always had a problem with dogs that didn't. Maybe i'll go back to full coursing blood but not yet... I'm hoping that the coursing blood in my little bitch does what i was told it tries to do, which is pressure it's quarry and try to kill it quick and the bull blood in her will have her return to my side asap and i'll gel with her better too! Sadly, knowing my luck, i'll have a three field plodder that can't catch shit and is so indifferent to me, that she spends more time with the local dog warden. Where's that fecking gun..! Your after something doesn't exist mate lol no dog will stop things fast regular the long ear has more about it then to let that happen mate early season or land were there green not run much maybe Quote Link to post

I'm not wedded to one type of hunting with a lurcher these days and like a jack of all trades. Like i said, maybe i'll look to more coursing blood in the future, if this scruffy mutt ain't up to much but there's a season coming up to test her plenty and so far, so good... Quote Link to post

I seem to have undergone a sequence of evolutionary changes over the years, and what suited me then,.sure wouldn't suit me now.. One type of hunter that I feel might possibly fill the bill, would be Mercedes... She was a good old stick, bred me some nice pups and got me the cash to put down on my little house... We worked together for several years, and her efforts sure did help in paying the Mortgage... I valued her assistance financially, but I never really liked her all that much,..we did not see eye to eye ,..and accordingly I was not the best of men with her... I regret this... Anyway, I would still have to place her high on my list of genuine jukels, and she could certainly stop most critters.. Nice to look back lads,..but times have changed.... Go careful Brothers, stay safe, OldPhil. Got to agree Phil, done the same myself. These days i'd rather get on 'better' with a lurcher than not, no matter what it's capable of... Quote Link to post

I like the nature etc of these types/crosses. I just seem to get on better with them. May I be so bold as to enquire what your thoughts are on type/cross of dog you prefer, Magoo? 1 1 Quote Link to post
