Carrie 0 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hi all, I am not (yet) a hunter, but my dog is ( well would like to be). Syd my companion, is a deerhound lurcher, Dad a collie/greyhound cross, mum a scottish deerhound. He is just a little over one year old. Not teriffically obedient, but coming on. We live in Wiltshire UK. I hope to learn a lot, and would like my dog to have the chance to fullfil his natural instincts. I feed him bones, Burns, and he naturally likes to eat shit. We love to walk (run). I am uninformed about the hunting debate and am looking forward to learing a lot, as well as learning how to catch rabbits! The hare is my totem animal and I belive that our wildlife is precious, so my feeling is that: Syd needs a natural life, diet, and the opportunity to display his natural talents, rabbits need to be controlled. (Sorry if that sounds trite, or mean to rabbits) Cheers Carrie Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Carrie 0 Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Hi all, Thanks for your replies., Syd has got a long way to go in terms of obedience etc. I'd like to do a lot more milage with him before we do anything in earnest. So it being the end of the season is probably a good thing. He is Blooming fast though! We are experimenting with a training collar. I will post something on the running dogs section. I look forward to being educated! Carrie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
