5.0 out of 5 stars Authoritative guide, 23 Sep 2008
Having just 'rescued' my first lurcher two months ago I bought this on spec and found it a riveting read. My (fourth) rescue dog is 5 years old and not trained to the course, so in hindsight it might have been better to get The House Lurcher by the same author, which I have since read and enjoyed just as much. Both books are excellent - format, layout and illustrations are well organised and full of useful advice and information. I especially found her remarks on feeding raw meat rather than commercial muck a revelation after 19 years with my previous 3 dogs ( all crosses ) and have changed my dog feeding as a result. Jackie steers a thoughtful and fair-minded course between the various, sometimes conflicting demands and values of coursers hunters and pet-owners. Both books gave pleasure, informing and entertaining at one and the same time. I shall re-read them at various points and recommend them without reservation. Above all, what comes through the writing is her love and respect for these marvellous animals - not always apparent in other books on the subject by acknowledged experts.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little lightweight, 12 Feb 2009
To me the title suggested that the book would be more than simply an illustrated list of what can be hunted with a lurcher. The book is a good (if fairly short) read, but if you have more than a passing knowledge of the dogs, you are not going to learn much from it.
