I am a Spanish hunter and hunt with greyhounds, I raised a bitch daughter of a galga and molinois father ... with great enthusiasm to see these videos of the lurchers ... the result is useless. I do not see that it is worth rearing from her, conclusion! the hares and rabbits of ireland run like turtles

Just watched this tribute video of Gem, got to say she was really special. Such combined attentiveness, drive, and athleticism in a dog comes around maybe once or twice in a mans lifetime. Sorry for your loss.

I have had a lurcher for couple years now they are great dogs sorry for your loss may she be laying around in doggy heaven.

When you loose a working dog it's not the same as loosing a pet. It's your working partner. Lost my own collie hound a couple of years ago, thought I would never replace her with another dog and have the same relationship but luckily got another collie hound and sure enough I love this one as much as I did the last one.

Making a video of her doing what she loved it helps remember the good times which in turn helps move on from something tragic and despite the difficult times we face as lurcher owners we will continue doing what we love. I hope the video brought back good memorys with your dog too?

Обожаю !

She was only 4? That’s very young isn’t it? Very sad to lose someone close even if they may be a dog. A partner is a partner and once you lose them, it’s hard to find someone to fill that spot. Maybe even impossible. Rip Gem.

I think this lurcher is excellent Lurcher there hard to come by great Lurchers nowadays you have to put the hard work in, maybe the only gripe I have she looks to hard mouthed. I used to have 3 Lurchers but only lamping I did, my brother was a terrier man he liked going out with the terriers and the ferrets with nets, he used the terriers in the cover and to mark the holes. My four Lurchers I used a soft ball when they were pups and I learned them to fetch the ball back with no aggression. Then from then on I used caught wild rabbits to give them runs, my Lurchers always fetched the rabbits back to hand alive and I used to catch so many, enough meat for out of season to eat as well.
