The House Lurcher - Hardcover

For those who would share their lives with the graceful, intelligent lurcher, there has, until now, been little information on how to cope with that mysterious sighthound temperament in a domestic environment. As a result of many training enquiries received over the years, Jackie Drakeford, has written The House Lurcher for owners of pet lurchers. Through the book, the reader will learn how to live happily with their lurcher at home and in public. In particular they will learn how to establish a sound recall so that their lurcher can be exercised, with confidence, off the lead. All aspects of owning and training lurchers are covered in detail, with special attention given to those coming from rescue homes.

Jackie Drakeford was born and brought up in the New Forest, and has had a lifelong interest in horses and working dogs, lurchers in particular. Well known as a lurcher showing and obedience judge, she also works, trains and occasionally breeds her own working lurchers, as well as being involved in lurcher rescue. Passionate about the countryside and its conservation, she supports several animal welfare and fieldsports associations. Other interests include canine psychology, and holistic healing. Now based in Sussex, she writes for a number of countryside publications
