owl Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 At last I have got this straight thanks to a message from the pound kennels lady. Yes, she has this lurcher in the pound. Yes, he is the one who has been running loose round an area north of Cardigan for over a week. Yes, he is very young, smooth coated and fawn coloured and appears totally untrained, doesn't walk on lead. But she says he isn't that big for a lurcher, and our missing one is a big lad. Local members of Greyhound Rescue Wales are involved. They are sending a pic to someone who can ID our missing one. If he isn't the one we are looking for, they will help find him a place. Personally I don't think it's him, it's just too far to travel from the are of the last sightings with no good reason. Our boy has barns to shelter in and woods to hunt in. I can't think why he would leave that terrain and cross the bleak Preseli mountains in freezing weather to go north of Cardigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtychicken Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 As disappointing as it is that it's probably not the boy that's been missing for so long, at least one youngster will be safe and warm tonight Still hoping that the big boy is safe soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 If we ever catch the big boy, he is going to the Barn This will avoid handovers, and means if we get him in a trap we can ferry him straight down there without taking him out.

dirtychicken Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Just seen that his thread in lost and found is being moved to reunited so another tentative Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yes, it's our boy. Please move to reunited I dont think he ended up north of Cardigan under his own steam. Either someone picked him up and decide to keep him and he got away, or he was being a nuisance with pheasants and lambs and someone caught him and decided to make him someone else's problem. I'm surprised and very pleased. I thought our chances of getting him back were slim. He's safe in Cardigan pound and I will be moving him to Lizzie's Barn at some point.

owl Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I collected him from Cardigan pound yesterday, and drove straight down to Lizzie's Barn. He has settled in well and seems to like the lurcher he is kennelled with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
