    How’s the Lurcher bred? Any better pics of it, just interested

    Couldn’t you use Artificial inseminatiom with the dog you wanted? I know people who’ve done this and you get the stud dog you want.

    Who was the bone man? As there some right con merchants out there. I’d take it too a vet and get a Propper diagnosis. What was the pup’s original symptoms to make you take her to a bone man ?

    My current dogs won’t eat green tripe.. and when they do it goes through them… they love mince tripe from the pet shop, but full green tripe, no chance.

    I prefer a pick up/crew cab.. when the dogs are stinking in the back it dosnt matter on the long drive home.. but I don’t slip dogs from the motor, it’s mainly all on foot .

    So if that was a bit faster and more athletic (ie, bred to a longdog) it would make a very useful dog id imagine… they would maybe make a better cross when mixed with a fast coursing dog, rather than a greyhound if the pups have a tendency to be a bit cloddy. I think that bit of Saluki adds a bit more athleticness rather than just pure speed .. maybe

    I think they would be a great cross of bred properly. The best coursing dogs are not first cross Saluki/greys. They are lone bred for 30/40 years to produce the better versions. so if the same was done with labs I think it would really work.. I do a bit of bush beating and I’ve not seen a Lurcher that hunts as hard a good lab.. (not the fat useless labs, but a Propper one) If a lab had more speed, they would catch some gear.. I’ve seen them smash through the thickest over cover, and still work 6 hours later, wet through and freezing cold. Now I love my Lurchers, and mine h

    Very nice… is the the Saluki/cattle dog litter? they should be spot on.

    Looking for rabbits on the fell

    A gang of various sorts, after a days rabbiting

    But I knew that when I bought her as a pup… the whippet mum was small, and the beddy sire was small.

    Not really, most bigger dogs if they are bred right are fast enough.. obviously not as fast as a greyhound, but that’s too fast. I think her lack of top end speed is down to her little legs
  13. Moonlighter123
    About 16/17 inch

    My first cross lacks a little bit of top end speed… still catches plenty, but could definitely catch more if was that bit faster.

    The little one can retrieve a hare on the lamp, but as you can see, there about the same size

    For hunting, the bigger one. She’s a real all rounder.. the little one is only 17/18 inch so probably not really a Lurcher, more of a really fast terrier. I like hunting all sorts so the bigger one is much more useful

    I’ve got 2 beddy crosses.. this one and a bigger beddy/grey Lurcher. Both obedient and cleaver dogs.. obviously they love to chase as there Lurchers but I’m pretty sure you could train one to talk stalking to some degree. I use mine for ferreting, lamping, bushing, bushbeating (not the gun shy one though) and daytime work.. jack of all trades master of none. (Although they take some beating as a rabbit bushing dog in the dales.)

    I’ve got a first cross.. very obedient and nice little companion dogs. Mine has a good nose, but she’s gun shy.

    The more part timers that jack, the better, in my opinion.. leave it to the genuine lads who go out, week in, week out.. the less people doing it the better.
