We went for a Southern Lurcher Rescue group walk at Hayling Island this morning.
The dog in the above photo is India, a foster. Her fosterers really want to get a male to be a companion to their own, female, lurcher, but India can be aggressive to strangers and other dogs when on lead and has proved difficult to rehome because of this. I had a feeling that Jasper might goad her to get her to chase him, but she actually seemed to pick on him to chase. No nastiness involved, though
'I can flyyyyyy!!!!!'
Videos to follow, once Youtube has finished faffing with them I think Jasper could run the legs off any of the other lurchers, but he is really lacking in staying power. Shame we didn't get better videos, but we both kept pressing the wrong buttons, and most of the time Jasper stopped running whenever we pressed the right ones (He's the one in the blue muzzle, BTW.)

Great pictures and video. Jasper definately seems to be setting the pace.
Grammy to Sky and Sirius, who came to live with me, stole my heart, and changed my life forever as I took over their care and learned how to be a dog owner.

Re: Hayling Island
I look at those pictures and find it really hard to believe all those horrible things you say about poor, innocent Jasper
Re: Hayling Island
Tell you what, if you want to pop over the pond, give him a bone, and then try to get it back again, I'll be ready with the video camera to provide evidence.
