Paul in North Lincs. Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 As you probably know, I have been deliberating over a new dog for some time now, and was still undecided as to what to get. As it happens, me and my shooting partner in the space of a week have managed to aquire 2 curs!!!!!!! Here they both are:- Blaze ......as he is now known we believe is a young greyhound with a dash of alsation,(we think!) that was found wandering aound open fields. We think he is was a coursing dog that was abandonded as he instinctively hunts and courses rabbits very succesfully. we think he is about 18 months old...... He is quite nervous still but is coming along nicely. Henry......... is a 6 month old ESS. Believe it or not he was given to us 'free', yes 'free' of charge along with an indoor kennel!!!! His owner is moving abroad, and wanted a working home for his beloved dog. Already partly trained, he is steady to the gun, and fearlessly enters into brambles and water, flushing rabbits. He is a great looker, with alot of potential. Will keep you informed of their progress. Paul in North Lincs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul in North Lincs. Posted April 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Cheers... he is a big powerfull lad....and whilst dashing about with the springer it is evident that he's got the shoulder barge off to a T. Because of this technique we also wondered if he been used possibly for single handed deer coursing, and had got seperated from his owner whilst out in the field To be honest we can only guess what else is in him, but what ever it is, it is only a dash. We thought GSD because of his eye colouring, and marking on his tail. some of you more experienced lurcher men might be able to offer another idea perhaps?

pigeon master Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Paul, you've struck lucky getting a ESS for free mate, looks like a very nice dog with good shape, dont know much about lurchers but both dogs I'm sure have ended up at good home to see their merry days out. Keep me posted on howthe springer gets on bud. Cheers The PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
