Hi dave fantastic dvd, I've kept Lurchers now over 60 years,the way you train your Lurchers is exactly the same as I was taught by my lovely grandad. I'm still working my Lurchers fantastic type 3-4greyhound 1-4bearded collie all bred by David and sally Hancock,all the very best of hunting . Alan from Coventry warwickshire.👍
As a Working Lurcher trainer , then a service dog trainer, then a search n Rescue educator, now a Canine behaviourist , All you Lurcher enthusiasts take note !
I find it really simple to train a dog from a pup Especially a saluki cross greyhound Most people aren't intelligent enough to think for themselves That's where the problem is lol
Would just like to say thankyou for making these videos. They are brilliant and very entertaining, Im 24, thinking about getting a dog once I settle down a bit. Ive had my eye of getting a whippet. do they have the same prey drive of a lurcher? Just to say I am planning on speding alot of time of training. Any thoughts? Thanks alot Tobias
Just a quick question a got a 7month old pup been doing retrieving since 4month old an she will come straight in with dummy but won't hold it drops by my feet but tried tug of war an tried tiring to lead an chase round she will hold it on lead an let me take it a say drop she drops an then throw for her drops short again a tried to put it back in her mouth won't accept it also tried to let her carry it for abit she will happily but a call her in she drop short still owt else a can try be grateful thanks never had a pup do this normally won't let go
didnt really like the purdey film but the follow up film showing two kelpie crosses is superb, two top dogs ferreting in the hills. dave used to get slagged off a lot back in the day for being a showmen, i think he puts his money were his mouth is, very impressed with the dogs shown even though there not my type. respect to plummer, phil lloyd, dave and the warrener for making films...takes balls to go public
ide like some knowledge about somerset gypsy is ready to go and she has had only had three kills I don't drive ,any surgestions around somerset ,I am 43 but had loads of kills with russels when I was young.thanks
Hi there great video for new beginnings of people owning a lurcher I should of watched this before Can you still train a 5 month old puppy the way your training your dog?
Brilliant videos, even now in 2019 still very educational. I’m having problems with my dog atm, he’s a 7 month saluki x greyhound. His recall is becoming a really difficult thing for the dog to grasp. Any ideas in helping this? He’s fine in confined spaces but as soon as we are in a open field he does what he likes. Will basically run away and I spend a hour + trying to find him. It’s knocked my trust in him. Any help/ideas would be very helpful. Thanks in advance
Hello im just wondering is the isolation period for 2 t 3 weeks necessary for a pup as i have 2 6 week old bull whippets any advice appreciated thankyou in advance
I have a question: is a lurcher only a cross between a english greyhound and sheepdog or terrier, or can you use any other “running dog“ to cross with. I mean, as a example: if you cross a italian greyhound with a collie or terrier, is that outcome even a lurcher too or not?
This is so outdated (if it was ever really in data) if your running a lurcher for lamping you want to study Gundog (labrador) retrieve drills. This touches on them but the progress is sporadic and encourages faults.
Excellent old video from dave here!! Watched this many a time when I was younger. For more on lurchers vist the fieldsports forum on the address below :) thefieldsportsforum.com/
+Enzo Tornese lurcher is a mating between a herding dog a greyhound,mother usually greyhond,cos genes of mother more important than that of the male.plus greyhounds make good mums.
+Enzo Tornese A lurcher is a cross between a sight hound (greyhound, whippet, saluki, deerhound etc) with something else. This can be a first x or a mixture of a few (on sighthound part and other breed part) A sight hound to sighthound cross is a longdog.
Not true lol lurcher is from UK and a cross between pastoral breed x greyhound. Fact not fiction. Saluki x greyhound = Longdog.anything else is a mere hybrid :-)

Bought the original vhs (15 years ago or more!) tape of this from Dave, very good training help tool for a lurcher pup.

That's where the problem is lol
A man that knows something... and a whole lot more.
I`m picking up a Lurcher X English BullTerrier this week Cant wait!
+neil brown then its not a lurcher lol.
Yes, you are correct thats why I didnt buy it ultimately, annoying though.
What you got instead?
My girlfriend bought a terrier cross, she love going down holes, I bought a E-tool from ebay just in case she gets stuck!
+Will Wonka Yes it is, a bull x is a very popular x, probably more popular than the collie cross nowadays.
Should do a update video soon like 👌🏼 a lot has changed since then

Hello im just wondering is the isolation period for 2 t 3 weeks necessary for a pup as i have 2 6 week old bull whippets any advice appreciated thankyou in advance
Great video do you know if dave still breeds lurchers
Not sure mate!
I have a question: is a lurcher only a cross between a english greyhound and sheepdog or terrier, or can you use any other “running dog“ to cross with. I mean, as a example: if you cross a italian greyhound with a collie or terrier, is that outcome even a lurcher too or not?
Der Raetovare Any long dog x
But for fucks sake don’t get an Italian greyhound unless you want to catch mice?

+Enzo Tornese lurcher is a mating between a herding dog a greyhound,mother usually greyhond,cos genes of mother more important than that of the male.plus greyhounds make good mums.
+Will Wonka No not just a herding dog, can be any breed crossed with a sight hound, not just a greyhound.
