I constantly question why I keep them, BUT know my life wouldn't be complete without one...

That's kids, Lurchers are a given...

I got her gifted to me as it was an unplanned litter, she's saved my ass a few times from dangerous animals and people but loves everyone that's nice and the best rabbit dog I've owned. No money could buy her off me. My once in a lifetime dog.

Hmmm, a change sir?!  

Maybe TROPICAL FISH?!!

Nah, 'tropical fish jalfrezi' doesn't have a good ring to it!

I've owned quite a few running dogs over the years, greb.  Caught mainly edible game with all of them, fox doesn't, never did, and never has held an interest for ne.

Had a couple of my dogs stolen, so won't/haven't put many pics up.  My son put a pic of a bitch I owned, up a few years ago, but I wouldn't have done it, as I trust NO-ONE.

Anyway, are you getting a coursing dog, or a lurcher?

Entirely up to you mate but you might be able to have a little dabble with the odd rabbit before the season ends, a bit of ferreting perhaps. 

There's two different schools of thought on this from what I can gather. 

One being "wait until they are at least 12 months before introducing to quarry" and the other being "start them off early, holding rabbits in purse nets to get them keen". 

A good lurcherman mate of mine reckons the second option is better so I'll be off out with him soon I think.
