Guest charlie Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 hi, i run two lurchers, jack (mk1) a grey/saluki & suki a whippet/?. i was new to it 4 years ago when i got my first lurcher, jack (mk 1) from battersea dogs home. he was very very keen to chase any thing available, especially the neighbourhood cats ( yes!!!!!!!!). anyway i bought books by plummer and drakeford. what they don't know isn't worth knowing. one bit of advice i can give that i found out the hard way is don't punish your dog physically if it misbehaves, all this will do is put your training back by months. when you are unhappy with the cur ignore it. it goes against the grain but it will realise eventually that it has done something wrong. they are quick to learn. charlie B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vimm Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 Charlie Plummer was a ********er and a proven liar. He was a writer not a Hunter and all he wrote about was other people`s experiences. Now for the Novice his books may seem entertaining and informative but to the guys who walk the walk,lol they contain nothing but Sh*te. Flocky your best bet is to look for the working terrier and Lurcher site run by our Moocher. There`s plenty of guys there who walk the walk and can advise you on the problems you may get with all working dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest charlie Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 then we will agree to differ vimm charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiercel Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 Im afaid i have to agree with vimm on this one. Plumber is a very good writer. But as a hunter he is a nonstarter. If you want to learn a lot about running dogs try this site click here you will learn more there in one day than all the plummer books put together.
