hi baz.cnt help with your problem but like valley was wondering where you'd been??last i heard you were on your hols.glad your ok,n'safe and well.cherie.xx

Hi Cherie, Really nice of you to ask,thank you. I`m fine,and still around I`m afraid,can`t get rid of me too easily eh.

Have you tried the Lurcher Club? http://www.lurcher.fsnet.co.uk They give a contact address on site where I'm sure you'll be able to buy a puppy. Good luck Sylvia

Brian (Ooops l mean Baz) - have you found a Lurcher yet???? This afternoon l met a lady with a yr old female Lurcher named Katie, rescued from Ireland by the "Dogs Trust" Canine Defence, this is the number, 01386-830613, apparently they have lots of them around the country, give them a ring you never know.Good luck:o) Jude s wales

Baz, there is someone in Essex, looks like a breeder of lurchers. Will send you the details. Jo

Nudge

Hi Jude, Been to their web sites this afternoon,but nothing that meets our requirements. What I like,Jan dosn`t,and vice versa,but still looking. Went to a dog show today,and got soaking wet,and one contact,so fingers crossed. Thanks for the nudge. xx

Baz - try ringing that number, the webb site could be out of date.The lady today said they had loads of Lurchers,not necessarily pups though.Let me know what they say!!!!! Oh gawd l don't think we will be long before we get another one.This dear little Katie we met today was so good:o) Jude s wales

Have you tryed the kennell club?

Hi Jude, Just phoned that number,and yes , they have a few,but don`t know what the `X`s are,so a matter of taking pot luck. Plus the centre is too far away,so, still no luck,but appreciate your help. XXX

Hi Rosie, Tried it I`m afraid, many thanks for your help though. xx

Hi Baz, nice to see you again. My niece's lurcher Moon has just had pups, its a pity you're not in Northumberland. Good luck in your search. Sheila x

Hi Sheila, You certainly know how to depress someone on a fine Sunday morning. Seriously though, thanks for your interest, nice of you. xx

Baz - how about you putting an advert in your local: "LURCHER PUP WANTED" etc, just a thought, or on a shop window!!!! Jude s wales

Baz if I here of any puppies going local I'll get in touch. luv Jo

Hi Jude, Sorry,,,already done that,,,,big wanted posters in shop windows,pet shops, and vet`s. Hi Jo, That`s nice of you, thank you Barry. XX

Hi Baz, There are a lot of country shows up here (Lancashire/Cumbria) in the next couple of months. Lots of different classes and animals and trade stands. We usually see farmers/showers/breeders bringing along bitches with puppies that are ready. We definitely saw a litter at the Lowther show last year. Maybe if you want a short break you should pop up to one of these shows for the weekend or check your local papers for shows near you. I think there might be a lot up here because there are so many working dogs around the Lake District and surrounding areas. It would be a lovely break for you even if you didn't find the pup you wanted. Abigail Cumbria and the lake district tourist board (no only joking - I just love where I live!!)

Hi Wendy, Good idea. I actually went to a `companion show`just yesterday,at South Woodham Ferrers, a small village very close to us, and gained a couple of contacts, so fingers crossed eh. Many thanks for the interest. Barry xx

baz there is a possibility that im going to northumberland for a weekend soon would that b any help if you wanted to have one of the pups mentioned by sheila ? we cud bring one back ! lou x

Hi Lou, What a nice thought, thank you, but I think I should really be able to see the dog first, and the parents.Thank you Lou.
