Product Description
Product Description
The lurcher has been with us for thousands of years. Large or small, rough or smooth, images of lurchers have appeared over the years in paintings, in tapestries, or on pottery. What is the attraction of these dogs? Perhaps it lies in the strong bond that must be formed as a result of the close working relationship a hunting dog must forge with its master. From selection of a suitable lurcher to fitness, training, working, and breeding "Understanding the Working Lurcher" offers sound, common-sense advice based on years of experience.

This lovely book is written with great humanity and a love of the lurcher. Unlike many 'how to' dog books the author never talks down to the reader, or embarks on a 'then I did this, then I did that' ego boost.
The star of the book is most definitely the lurcher, and we are guided through the dog's life from choosing a 'type' of lurcher to the very moving chapter The Declining Years.
The book was written when many more types of hunting were still legal. Even if you are not in favour of hunting, and wouldn't do it intentionally, your lurcher may still dive into a hedge and appear with a rabbit. Better to be fore-armed, so make sure you have read the section on persuading your dog to hand it over gracefully :)
As the title suggests, you will learn to understand so much more about your canine companion.

Although I do not use my lurcher for hunting (he's just a family pet) I thought that this book was very helpful as it told me all about exercising and feeding my dog. I liked the photos of all the different greyhound crosses. This book is very useful for telling us all about a lurchers instincts and I would recommend this book to anyone with a lurcher (especially if they have a working dog)
