Information
The House Lurcher - Jackie Drakeford
For those who would share their lives with the graceful, intelligent lurcher, there was little information on how to cope with that mysterious sighthound temperament in a domestic environment.Until now. As a result of many training enquiries received over the years, Jackie Drakeford has written The House Lurcher for owners of pet lurchers and domestic greyhounds. Readers will learn in detail about the historical origins of the Lurcher, how to choose the right Lurcher for you, the vital link between feeding, health and behaviour as a puppy and adult, training for happy co-existence within the home and outdoors, how to conquer separation anxiety and more.
Now fully updated, this book takes into account recent changes to the law as it relates to hunting with dogs.
