Lovely dog nice looking what a jumper and really grand to look after the wee chap and nurse him back to top health he’s a credit to you take care good hunting together
You only get out of a dog what you put into it and it is plain to see that you have given this dog every chance to make the grade, he is a credit to you. its a great feeling when you start to see the results of all the hard work, good luck in the future with him
James Wright cheers mate. Your right all the hard work as well as time and effort put into him as a pup are all worth it when you see them doing what they were bred to do and doing it well! Already have some incredible memories with him and he's only 2 so long may they continue
Much respect to you. In my opinion you shown your obvious dog skills when it came to the rehabilitation to Blue after the leg break, resisting temptation to push him too hard too soon trying to get him back in the action.
respect for not putting him down, too many working lurchers get needlessly destroyed when they can still come back to grade, not to mention breeding a good dog makes another good dog. ive got a saluki x whippet but had many lurchers, bedlingtonx, hancocks etc im on my last one now i keep telling myself.. im getting old nownearly 50 and the dog seems to like the rest lol
Cheers mate it was never an option. I was told from the off he would make a full recovery and run again. To see the dog he has become made all the effort when he broke his leg worth it. Nice one bud I hope to always have a working lurcher by my side
@@hawthornekennels8450 I had a wondrous Lurcher..found dumped as a tiny pup...but RSPCA took her in, and I rehomed her at 12 weeks..training was fun, Travellers were a bloody pest though..trying to get her off me , on one occasion using force {they didn't succeed thank goodness...but only because a really huge traveller came to my aid..forever grateful to him, whomever he was. She died at 12 yrs, {PTS at home} of osteosarcoma, she was small, 23'' broken coated, a black masked fawn..til her dying day loved exercise., but in later years hares would barely get out of a canter...but she still loved to chase. Thinking about getting another rescued Lurcher, but they are a gamble if one doesn't know the parentage.
lamping with my friend spuggie, ferrets, lurcher, and alway took a BSA airsporter just in case!!! Grew up in the sixties in Cumberland (Cumbria!)...great...NONE would be up to elf and safety now!!!
is it a three quarter whippet quarter collie ? as it doesnt look to me like a greyhound cross ?maybe grewxcollie ? be interested to know thanks mate.have lurchers myself an work them every way there ment to be , no pigs though dont agree with it an also would eat one so whats the point
I’ve got a 3 month old cocker spaniel crossed with a lurcher and he is fast for a puppy and good at retrieving but I’m not sure that he will be good enough to work his dad is a working dad but not his mum he is more like his dad though
My Stag lurcher tries to hunt small furry animals! She is a pet not a coursing dog, but the instinct is strong. She's caught several mice, 3 big rats, 3 feral cats and a possum!
The hunt is in all of them. Some have been manipulated to perform a task but usually the task is derived from or driven by some form of a prey instinct (smelling, biting, digging, hearing, seeing, fetching, guarding and attacking) except for maybe true lap dogs but even some of them can be aggressive at times
Nice one pal, a lot of, dog lads, or so they call themselves, would have put it down or got rid when the leg broke, good on you for standing by your dog, atvb, hope you have years of happy hunting.
Can I ask, why do you teach them to hunt and kill Rabbits? it seems cruel to put nets over their exits? Do you eat the rabbits once they're dead? Or is it just for sport? I mean no offence to anyone.
I'm sure someone with more knowledge will correct me, but it's my understanding that rabbits are an introduced species there and they don't have any (or many) natural predators. Their numbers have gotten out of control and they do a lot of damage. At least that's what I've read. Not sure if they eat them or not, but I sure would.
You don't need to ''teach'' a dog of this type to chase, they do it as naturally as breathing. but you definitely do need to teach them to retrieve and carry stuff to you and be well behaved..A dog that is out of control is a liability.Rabbits are a 'pest' ..if healthy they won't go to waste, and better them die swiftly than to possibly die of myxie which is so horrible {a man made disease to wipe out rabbit population}
What an absolutely cracking lurcher you have, also well trained.
very good fellow nowt as good as a good dog hope you have many happy days hunting
Lovely dog nice looking what a jumper and really grand to look after the wee chap and nurse him back to top health he’s a credit to you take care good hunting together
A good working dog is priceless fact .keep up the good work as I can see running dogs is a dyeing sport 👍

Christopher Crosby cheers mate. I hope to keep working lurchers for as long as I live. Can't complain at him one little bit
Much respect to you. In my opinion you shown your obvious dog skills when it came to the rehabilitation to Blue after the leg break, resisting temptation to push him too hard too soon trying to get him back in the action.

It's in all dogs mate.
No, not all.

Yeah. My hound is ALSO a lap dog! ALL 45kg of her!
Quality
Nice one pal, a lot of, dog lads, or so they call themselves, would have put it down or got rid when the leg broke, good on you for standing by your dog, atvb, hope you have years of happy hunting.
Cheers mate. I wasn't ever going to give up on him and since then he has turned into a dog I'm very proud to have in my kennels
Great wee dog I’ve been trying to get one that would be breed the same way but can’t find one,
Would like a puppy bitch
Moral of the story. Don't run sight hounds after quarry in fields that have hidden warrens out in the open.
This is cruel my dog was a working lurchur until he went blind in one eye
