Book Description
This book, Colonel Hancock's eighth, is about lurchers, the hunting dog of the humbler hunters. It covers not just the origins, uses, structure, breeding advice, blend of breeds and foreign counterparts, but the wide patronage of these hybrid talented hounds. Lavishly illustrated it covers many aspects of the lurcher scene for the first time. It is not a manual dealing with feeding, training, health concerns and rearing. It is a book for the hunter, the person more interested in what the lurcher does. No previous book has covered comparable hunting dogs abroad so fully; no other book on lurchers evaluates so deeply the value of the breeds contributing to this hybrid hound. AUTHOR: Colonel David Hancock MBE (not to be confused with the renowned lurcher breeder) has been studying dogs for over fifty years. He retired from the Army in 1983 when he became Director of the National Trust's Shugborough Estate. He has written a number of very successful books including The Mastiffs - The Big Game Hunters, now in its sixth edition. He judges working terriers and working tests for gundogs. He is a regular contributor to Country Life, The Field, Countryman's Weekly and Dogs Today. SELLING POINTS: *No previous book covers comparable hunting dogs worldwide *Sets out the essential physical and mental characteristics which make a successful lurcher REVIEWS 'Perhaps the most important living writer about dogs' a reviewer has described Colonel Hancock Colour throughout

Book Description
Lurchers and sighthounds have seen a huge rise in popularity over the past 40 years, and where once the lurcher was the shadowy, unseen tool of the poacher, it now enjoys a more legitimate role as a modern day pest control aid, as well as being valued as a companion and family pet. The pure sighthound breeds have always had their aficionados, whether as workers, pets or show and racing dogs; this book is written with all running dogs in mind, the term by which the author refers to lurchers and sighthounds alike in this book. Running dogs are athletes, which need committed care and understanding if they are to remain sound and healthy in their work, and the author has drawn upon her many years’ experience with working lurchers in order to compile a useful reference book for fellow owners. Written in a down to earth style this manual explains how to rear, feed and prepare the running dog for a healthy life, whether that involves strenuous work, competition or as a companion animal; how to avoid injury where possible and how to recognise specific types of injury when they do occur; how to treat them yourself and when to see the vet.

Book 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. Contents include: choosing a lurcher; general and field training; entering to quarry; care and maintenance and breeding, pregnancy, and birth. AUTHOR: Jackie Drakeford is an experienced countryside writer with a special interest in lurchers. She writes for countryside publications including Countryman's Weekly and Country Illustrated, and judges at lurcher and ferret shows. She is passionate about the countryside and conservation and supports many animal welfare associations. A proportion of her royalties from this book will be donated to Lurchersearch UK 100 b/w photos
