    a lad asked me today if i know of a decent greyhound to cover his 7/8 collie greyhound she is a good little bitch on rabbits and fox but lacks a bit in stamina .i told him he might be over doing the greyhound side of things and that he would be better off with maybe a 1st x collie/greyhound or maybe 3/4 but all he wants to breed for is speed as he reckons it will produce bigger bags

    i had a bitch of that breeding before very good little bitch on all game and not afraid to stick her head well down into a hole but she had an unlucky tumble with a sika stag and had to be put down .never got a chance to breed a litter from her but plenty of good memories working her

    i would'nt bother mate my mate covered his 6 year old working whippet that was very fit and all he had was problems 2 out of 6 pups survived nearly lost the bitch and it cost him an arm and a leg it would of been cheaper to buy a full litter and he would'nt of had all the heart ache

    one of dose stupid 1st x saluki greyhounds was great at catching rabbits but when it was retreiving them would stop about 10 yards away drop them and then just look at them as they would run for the cover

    i use my 3/4 greyhound 1/4 border collie when i go coursing dont do half as much with him now because he is 9 years old but he still get's the odd run on them .he would'nt have many turns out of them may be eight or 9 but he was great at catching them but he sired a litter of pups to a saluki/greyhound x irish terrier/greyhound bitch and the 2 pups that a friend of mine has now have turned out to be cracking little coursing, lamping ,bushing and ferreting bitch's and they would hold their own against most mainly saluki bred in the coursing feild.

    If you dont know if a dog is any good by 13 months old then I'd say you aint no dog man......not my kinda dog man. I need to edit this to say that of course nobody can know if a dog is any good by that age but they damn sure can tell if its a shit eater by then. you could tell if a dog is gonna be any good by that age but dont expect a sapling to work a winter hare like an adult dog and 9 or 10 turns from a hare is not a bad run for a young dog but running dogs of that age on brown or irish hares is the reason that there are so many burnt out dogs out there.between 16 to 18 months i

    great turn out there today but i think some of the classes should of been split for dogs and bitchs .the judge in the lurcher ring was'nt taking much of a look at the dogs i dont know if it was because some of the classes were so big or he just did'nt want to be there but other wise at great show. Keep it up lads
