Kay 3,709 Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Having had both & now greyhounds i like spirit & sometimes willfullness that my terrier possessed , she died last year at 13 & wasnt a working dog I loved the lurchers laid back nature , he sadly died aged 5 , but the greyhounds here now are both very diferent dogs, the bitch is crafty & has changed beond recognision in the year she has been here , she is funny & very entertaining The dog on the other hand is basically thick, he trips over his own feet & misses a lot that the bitch spots , a more laid back dog in general , i did think out of the two the dog would be the more driven one but its the bitch so i couldnt choose a type as i like all the different things Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Never had a terrier, but I've known plenty. I admire a lot of their inherent traits, but I don't think I could live with one (mine live in the house). They're too busy and, I confess, probably smarter than me Plus, if I had one and it went to ground when I was out on my own I'd panic and there's very little chance I'd be able to dig it out. I've only had two lurchers, and going by them I have to say I like my hounds. Laid back in the house, challenging and fun to train. And lovely to look at Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There just companion dogs, they both had racing careers , the blue dog raced longer & the b&w bitch had a shorter career , the dog will retreive but nothing live to date , theres simply nothing here for him to work The bitch has chased squirells , but shows no interest in a dummy where as the dog does & will '' play'' fetch all day Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Life would be so boring without a terrier I suppose it would. I have a two-legged terrier, that's more than enough for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 While she spends most of the day laying around the house in a coma, when she's out she's 100mph lunatic. Proof: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
