To be fair I also believe in working them hard. I just don’t think that automatically means you have to act like a c*nt or that acting like a c*nt means you’re working them hard. 
 

You can work them hard and sensibly ? 

 Yes, regular work is the aim, hard to some means " run to destruction " any fool can do that ?

Hi Levigsp,.. yes, I like to use a lurcher for as many different tasks, as I can,...possibly I am just a bit mean, and want my money's worth?    

Yes but only on command. She'll sit under a high seat and watch deer for hours but if we are tracking a wounded one and it gets up in front of us I can ask her to pull it. The indicating is the best b

?Never thought I would say it,. or even think in such a way,...but nowadays, I don't really care, if a dog is good at the job or not. Financially, my status has changed a bit,...not drastically,

Fair post

Second - where does this idea that if you’re acting like a monumental bell end, you are proper grafting and testing your dog ? I’ve watched the mongos here, they wouldn’t know a good dog if it bit them. They pass dog’s around every five mins, whizz about throwing them out of motors at stuff and then dump them In our local pub carpark ........ these folk aren’t keeping, running or breeding anything any good.

I get what you’re saying, I really do. And there are times you are right, but you seem to have this weird idea that anyone acting like a total muppet, is automatically a die hard Lurcher man, testing their dogs to the max and preserving the great working blood.

No one has ever said that . What I’ve said is that I would rather have a dog that was bred from something that has had the hammer , then something that jacked or had ran 5 or 6 rabbits twice a month. 

the only person who has built these people into Comanche raiding desperados is you by Interpreting that I’m saying by working it hard you need to be a prick , what I have said is that your dog is worked hard by being that way inclined . 

you know this ,you know I know you know this , so stop dancing round the fire about it ?

one . I thank you for the time and the care you’ve taken to prose such an erudite comment . Thank you and I also like reading your content 

two. I haven’t had a lurcher in five years . Before that I had lamping dogs , coursing types and a couple of bull crosses .  They were kept from the day they were bought as pups  to the day they died with me . I had my first lurcher at 7 . I’m now forty and still have a dog at my mothers and one at home with me . 

three .I can’t see where I would have ever agreed with ditching dead game , in fact I’m dead against it and I find it sickening. However I do understand the WHY behind it . 

four. I detest Galileo for the simple reason that it was aimed exactly at people like me , with lurchers , on the land , and criminalised it over night whilst other types of sport carried on unabated. simultaneously I joined the army on a whim at 24 and I found it hard to comprehend why people in the brigade I served in died due to lack of air frames whilst my mates were getting chased round the land by gallelios little budgie . 

Ive never been in a gang 

ive never been in organised crime 

never really taken drugs as a habit and funded all that that goes with it .I was simply a lad from a council estate that loved to see his dogs run hard and it was taken from me as opposed to being a minor act. 

when coursing was outlawed , only the outlaws can course. 

Is that enough reason???

5. I speak very often to a great lad from here , he offers me all kinds of dogs and it kills me to say no , but for me , I just can’t . I’d rather have no runner than something I can’t like . I’m picky enough with trainers never mind lurchers. 
 

6. I understand what people say about the carnage sometimes involved but the fact that people don’t see that that is how it has to be infuriates me . The fact that a normal regular 9 - 5 lurcher lad can’t take a pinch as it’s all out of proportion to the crime is completely anathema to my way of thinking . I just don’t see why lads can’t see that the dogs they own , today in part IE @sheepchaser with his coursing pup , owe a lineage to dogs tested that way 

 


 

Lol...but there still men testing them as hard today as there was 20 years ago... Just they don't give a fxck about galelio ?

Mate , I actually think your funny until you go full three sheets to the wind angry. 
 

gallelio is here to stay mate , it ain’t going away . No one doesn’t give a f**k unless they can take a squeeze , which is exactly what I’m saying

Do you actually read what you write ? Not being a dick, it at least not trying to be! But I’m not the only one who takes what you say in the way I do.

No one has been talking about getting dogs / pups / linings off lads who graft them vs off lads who catch a couple rabbits a week or keep jackers. That literally was never part of this conversation. 
 

You’ve said it time and time again, that these lads are some kind of hardcore working dog heros, testing their charges to the max, bagging loads of gear and keeping the best blood lines going. 
 

That by being inclined to be an absolute c*nt you are therefore working your dog hard. 

That is exactly what you have been saying.

You seem to struggle with the idea that the vast majority of lads ‘that way inclined’, keep absolute shite, cause mayhem, don’t catch that much in reality and pass dogs about like a cheap whore or just dump them. We’ve got first hand experience of this week in week out. I’ve rehomed two injured dogs in the last couple of weeks. It’s just tedious. 
 

I apologise if it’s me getting the wrong end of the stick, but I don’t think I am.
