My Greyhound Saluki Cross Bree Hunting And Eating Crane Flies

Before we adopted our rescue Lurchers Bree and Skippy they were both believed to be outdoor dogs. Bree in particular was spent some time living wild and it shows as she is a silent dog, freezes at the sight of anything worth chasing and a total thief of anything she can steal. She also has a panchants for a plant called 'Sticky Willy' in the UK which she adores. However, we have never seen her hunt and eat Crane Flies before, especially as she is extremely well fed as is skippy. This is really interesting to watch as we had no idea what she was doing to start with. I hope you like and share the videos and check out my other Skippy and Bree videos and all my technical tips.

Does Your Dog Love Goose Grass AKA Sticky Willy?

My amazing rescue sight hound BREE is a Lurcher: A Saluki Greyhound Cross. She is loyal, inquisitive, intelligent, caring (she prompts me when my blood sugar goes low) and great to walk but she has a dark secret, BREE is addicted to SALAD and no matter how hard we try and what route we try to take to rid her off this habit she always brings us forcefully to one of her local Salad Snack Bars The thing is she only likes the finest cleanest shoots, she won\t touch any that dogs have scented. Whats odd is that Slippy our Tri-Paw Lurcher won't touch the stuff. I even try eating some of it to see what it tastes like, and not only is it very bitter, akin to an astringent but the leaves have incredibly tiny hooks or bards on them that sticks it to you tongue and throat. But BREE is not deterred and come rain or high water she's out on the hunt for her Salad. My question to other dog owners, is your dog addicted to? : Sticky Willy Goose Grass Cleavers Clivers Galium Aparine History also has is that it was used to pack sacks as a mattress.

Skippy And Bree My Lurcher Friends

We watched a UK SuperVET programme recently where a  had major surgery on their dogs damaged leg, despite being informed there was a high likelihood of it failing and serious infection, rather than have the leg amputated.  It went ahead and the poor dog went through weeks of infection and pain and the vet offered to remove the leg saying the dog would survive and be happy on three legs. But I was stunned! as the owner of a very happy 3 legged dog (they call them Tri-Paw or Try-Pad) that they owners asked for the dog to be put down rather than having the leg amputated and the dog living.  Their reasoning was that they didn't think their dog would be happy on 3 legs.

This is a list of videos of my two beautiful rescue Lurchers (Saluki Greyhound Cross) and as you can see from the videos they are both happy, loving, devoted, bouncy, mischievous and fast.  One Skippy has three legs and the other Bree has four legs.  Please Please believe me it makes no difference to the dog as long as they have loving and caring friends and get charge around they are happy.

Please share this and make it viral so more dog owners don't make the mistake of thinking that having only 3 legs is sufficient reason to give them a death sentence.

Perhaps if more dog lovers see these videos they will understand and not put their best dog friend though hell

Thank you to all who watch and share these videos and help me help other dogs with damaged legs live a long and worthwhile life.

Lurcher Dogs Play Brawling In Fresh Snow

After Skippy went out on his own Tri-Paw three legs the first time, the next time I opened the door to let Bree our beautiful grey Lurcher (Greyhound Saluki Cross) out Skippy shot out causing hilarious mayhem.  I love these dogs.

This was Skippy's third outing in the virgin snow in a day, having never experienced it before.  He went from strength to strength despite his disability from only having 1 back leg.  He raced around trying to catch his house mate Bree the beautiful Grey Lurcher.

My two Lurchers are 50% Greyhound/Saluki crosses.

SHARE if you remember chasing through the snow whit no thoughts of what lay beneath it and loved it.

SHARE if you'd be happy to adopt and disabled dog or bitch.

After creating mayhem I had to muzzle skippy whilst I got on with the job at hand of putting out the recycling and trash.  But despite the muzzle he manage some cunning stealing and eating,  But he couldn't dispose of the evidence.  Its in 3D because that was the camera to hand when I was laughing at his cunning and skills.

My Flying Greyhound Lurchers

Having purchased my first 2nd user digital SLR and Nikon 5100 I decided I'd give it a go shooting Bree and Skippy running at full pelt around a Norfolk Beach.

Lurchers are fast, very fast, and both our rescue dogs are Lurchers and are a cross between Saluki and Greyhound.  They are sleek and swift.

Lurchers like Greyhounds are on of the few dogs that spends more time flying through the air, with all feet off the ground when running, than with its feet on the ground.  They are so fast that they are even able to achieve this feat on wet sandy beeches as you can see in the picture below.

I'm really thankful that the Nikon 5100 was fast enough to capture this even with the 55-200 lens.  Do any of you notice something different about Skippy in the background?  If you have already seen Skippy please don't comment as I'm interested in viewers perceptions of what they think they see to what they can actually see.

Flying Lurchers All Feet Are Off The Sand

I also made a video on my iPhone as they were flying around the beach chasing each other.

Three Legged Greyhound Lurcher Racing On A Walcott Beach

We took Skippy and Bree to Norfolk UK with us for a run on the Walcott beach, as you can see they absolutely loved it, and despite having 3 legs Skippy was not deterred in chasing down Bree.  It's amazing how quick he goes and that losing the back leg has had little effect on his agility and speed.  #fixed1tRESCUEdogs

Three Legged Lurcher Skippy Gaining Weight And Muscle Nicely

I think I'd forgotten how thin and weak Skippy was when he first came to us as Prince.

He'd been in foster care for over 6 months with a pack of larger Greyhounds and although he'd been well cared for he wasn't getting enough exercise and stimulation for him to grow.

Its been quite a struggle to find the right combination of food for him that will not upset his stomach and bowels but will allow him to put on weight.  Here is a picture of him shortly after we invited him into our home:

Now his ribs are barely visible and he seems to have grown into his boney face.

As for his relationship with Bree they are inseparable:

Perhaps his rippling front legs and shoulders that's doing it ;-)

And such a great little runner:

Disabled Hound Skippy Racing 4 Legged Bree

We took our 3 legged rescue dog 'Skippy' on a local rescue hound Play Group exercise walk with Bree and lots of other Greyhounds, Lurchers and Wippets. One of the owners has a Paddock so before the walk we let Bree and Skippy in to go mad, they are so good together and so fast. To think if he hadn't have been rescued they'd have put him down down to his awful injuries, but he's a very lucky and happy dog.

Bree Recovering Well

Bree is recovering well from her collision with the corner of our paving stone step near the garage, the hole, op and the stitches.  Skippy our tripod rescue Lurcher with his missing back leg and she are forever chasing each other around and wrestling ( it's a greyhound, saluki and lurcher thing). They also like necking each other and tripping each other up by grabbing each other's legs. Unfortunately the speed they can move and maneouvor at, means it can result in injury if they get caught at the wrong time i.e. Going up steps.

When they aren't chasing around sounding like an attacking ferocious dogs but not leaving a mark, they spend their time wrapping themselves around each other and us.  In fact their play fighting reminds me of the Saturday Wrestling Matches that used to be on UK TV on Saturdays when I was a kid, all play acting bluster and aggression with the winner decided in advance ;-)

latest antics

No sooner have I posted this video but he's been at it again. What gets me is his cunning, tonight I was about the let our other rescue dog Bree out for last night ablutions, when he barged past, so I let him out, being new we've had the occasional accident. He came back quickly and I took Bree out, she is more lady like and takes her time to select a spot. When I brought Bree in I heard a rustling, and found he'd pushed aside a heavy trolley to get to a counter and stole a packet of Quaver chips of a high shelf, torn the packet open and was eating them. If I didn't know better I'd say he planned it ;-) or am I anthropomorphising things LOL #fixed1tRESCUEdogs

My Recue Dog Skippy And The Mysterious Back Pack Raid

This video is about My Recue Dog Skippy And The Mysterious Back Pack Raid

Skippy is a LURCHER a Greyhound/Saluki Cross around 11 months old, he was mistreated and thrown out of a moving vehicle and hit by a car. This resulted in his Left Back Leg being amputated.  We met him on his first ever walk and decided to take him home for a trial.  We love him and he likes sparing and racing with our other 3 year old rescue lurcher Bree.  He is into everything, but as I discovered you can't leave him near even hidden food for a second.

He is sweet and really cheeky as you'll see.

Newly Adopted Rescue Hound Having A Celebration Of His Own

Its official, we've adopted another rescue dog I've called Skippy, he was formally known as Prince, but as he has 3 legs and bounces along happily like Skippy The Kangaroo I've renamed him. So just like the mischievous Skippy, you won't believe how he chose to celebrate the event LOL

Even Inspector Jacques Clouseau Could Solve My Dog Bree's Latest Crime

Whilst I was out watching and videoing Debbies participation in the Rock Chorus Choir charity concert, Bree decided to do some sniffing around for food and treats. This is a common condition for Rescue Dogs, but she not too good at hiding the evidence of her antics.  But we love her anyway.

My Dog Bree 1st Time Off Her Dog Lead At UK Rock Beach Cornwall

We've been working with Bree in Paddocks since we got her 7 months ago to try and get her to walk, off lead.  As we were on Rock Beach a few days ago we thought its now or never, so we let her go.
