victor 10 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 the dog should'nt need traning, it'll just do it . well mine and all mates did. Quote Link to post
arcticgun 4,548 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I was in the same boat with my first Lurcher a couple of months ago, luckily a couple of mates are in the know and gave me good advise, just let em hunt around whilst out and about. Mine saw its first rabbit a couple of weeks ago, and immedialy gave chase, this has happened a couple more times lately, well worth all the time spent on basic training, I can replay all three runs in my head again and again, pure priceless mate, good luck with em and enjoy, atvb Richard Quote Link to post
