Grimescar-keeper Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Right, I know theres some lurcher blokes on here, so........a mate has a collieXwhippet xrotty cross. Would this be any good as a running dog (legal quarry of course) for when my poults are being pestered. Thanks in advance, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete evans Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 depends on a number of factors. how old is it? has it shown any interest in hunting, chaseing etc?. could turn out good or rubbish its not just down to the breed of dog.

lurcherboy Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Moochers hunting is THE site for answers.

Dave66 Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Chris, I have a colliexwhippet ( X someting else, not quite sure what, bit it gives it a curly tail ) Brilliant little dog, good nose, fast, can find a rabbit in the middle of anywhere, it just lacks the initiative to pick the rabbit up, I have tried it lamping, it looks straight down the beam and will chase/stalk the sitter etc, I have a dummy wrapped in rabbit skin, brings it back every time, I am just wondering how to get past the last hurdle Thanks Dave66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
