She is US bred. 3/8 greyhound, 3/8 apbt, 1/4 border collie. I'll run 3-4 on a coyote. Here is a picture of her Mom. Another 40 lber. Tony
-
She runs on jackrabbits and coyotes with other dogs. She hasn't had a solo pickup on a rabbit yet, but she'll be the first to grab a coyote. I'm taking it easy with her and make sure she has plenty of backup with the other dogs. She's also my top lure dog.

I thought I'd share a photo of my 8 month old Collie/Bull/Grey. She's is turning out to be a heck of a good bitch on jackrabbits and coyotes in the US. Great size and about 40 lbs. Her brother is much more muscular and aggressive, but doesn't have near the speed, agility, endurance, and intellegence as her. Tony

Good points. I actually pulled the video off youtube this morning. I was excited to actually have the video editing working that I didn't notice that it was mediocare footage and not a good representation of reality. Tony
-
I put together a little video clip of some jackrabbit coursing. Quite a few races, many misses, and a few catches. (I pulled the video off) Hope you enjoy... Thanks...Tony

We are expecting great things from this pup. Dirtwinger put alot into this breeding and she has everything I was looking for in a young lurcher. She's a fiesty little thing and won't take any crap from our other dogs. She's right in their face, including our pitbull puppy. She's got heart and will be the dominate one of our pack. PS. Mouse is settling in pretty good. Still a bit skittish, but taking to my wife quite well. She's been out running rabbits twice a day and loving it. The fastest and most agile dog I've been around. Thank you for her! Tony

Here is my new pup named Raven. I met a member on here from the US and acquired this sweet girl. She's full of energy and a real challenge to get a picture of, as you can see. Her breeding is Tazi/Grey/Collie/Australian Shepherd. She was a very typey pup and we believe she'll turn out to look like her mother below: Thanks guys for putting me in touch with dirtwinger for such a great young dog. I'll keep all posted of her progress. Tony

Heres some updated pictures. The beetles are just about done with the skull. The top tooth pierces the skull. What a slow painful death that would be! Tony
-
The beetles are almost done with the skull. The top tooth penetrates the skull on the inside. I'll bring it with me, next week and show you. I've only seen this in photos, this is the first time live for me. Pretty weird. Thanks...Tony
-
We took the dogs out for a little rabbit coursing this afternoon. They caught 5 rabbits and had 2 misses. The last race produced something the dogs weren't quite ready to handle....SABERTOOTH BUNNY! The head is skinned and drying out for the night. Tomorrow it'll go in with the beetles. It appears that the top tooth loops back all the way to the skull. This is a skull worth keeping. Thought I'd share... Tony

The best advice is to use the best camera you can afford. I film predator calling videos during day and night with a Canon GL2. We went out and caught 11 jackrabbits/hares last evening under the lamp. I was filming it and 3 or 4 made good video. Good lighting is important, as well as a steady rest. Hope this helps... Tony

I think you did well mate. If they turn out 1/2 as good looking as the sire, they'd be great choices. Love them, enjoy them and get them on plenty of game. Tony
-
I call in quite a few hares during the day and night. We ended up catching 11 of them a couple of weeks ago using that method. I call coyotes for a living, using rabbit distress sounds from a handcall. I actually build custom hand calls. After seeing a pattern of calling in a mess of hares, I finally got the ideas to build a drop-door box for the dogs and try lamping. That's the tactic we are using. If anyone is interested, I can hook them up with some easy to use and great sounding hare distress calls. Tony

Irish bloodline saluki ! sire emeer What do you think ?
TonyTebbe replied to emeera's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
Absolutely gorgeous! The saluki is nice too. Just kiddin on ya. Tony -
I'm about an hour from Roswell. I agree, plenty of hares in this part of the country. We've been working these two young dogs on day coursing, but am really happy with lamping. My son and I were suprised on how many will come into the lamp, from 100 meters all the way to the vehicle. Made for a bad day for them, when we pulled the cord and let the dog box door drop. I guide coyote hunters for a living, but would like to focus on coursing during the summer months. Plenty of land and hares here. I'd really like to find a saluki or saluki x in our area. Tony

I appreciate all the replies. This was an accidental breeding and I'm wondering if I should keep back a pup or not to try out. I'm in search of a female pit right now to breed my greyhound dog to, as well. That was the cross I was planning to focuss on, to breed back to my black bitch and get back to 3/4 greyhound 1/4 pitbull. That is where I left off when I was raising lurchers for coyotes about 15 years ago. I'll probably keep back a male pup out of this litter to see if it turns out or not. If not, I'll give him away to a good home. Keep up with the replies, as they seriousl

I believe I heard that as well about the greyhound being part of the boxer makeup. I understand that the cross would be only good for heavy artilery, but bear in mind that I am going to be coursing coyotes....much larger and more agressive than a fox. I plan on having other lurchers for coursing hares. This is helpful, let's hear some more opinions. Thanks...Tony

The cottontail rabbits use warrens and head straight for them at the first sign of danger, like most rabbits. The jackrabbits don't live in warrens. They are free ranging and use speed as their escape, making for some great coursing. Here is a pic of the type of country we course in. I'll keep my eyes open for another greyhound and/or wait and see how the greyhound x boxer cross pups turn out. Thanks... Tony

Very nice looking pup.

Sorry to hear about your loss. She was a great looking pup. Tony

Does anyone have experience or a picture of a greyhound x boxer cross? I've done grey x bull crosses in the past, but our greyhound bred our boxer and she is definately pregnant and due in 1 month. The boxer bitch is extremely quick and smart. She is our family pet and not allowed by my wife to go on any rabbit hunts. Anyone have experience with this cross? Thanks...Tony

I tried shearing her, as she has a coat unlike any dog I've owned. It's a thick mat of soft fur like a beaver. She gets very hot just laying in the shade here in the 104 degree F. We lamped from the top of the vehicle, similar to how we call coyotes at night. The dogs come back on command, but had a few times were they wanted to stay out a bit. I had to remind them that they are hunting for us...not themselves. The little blackmouth cur pup (4.5 months) is actually my future coyote dog, but is learning very quickly to be a rabbit killing machine. He caught 1 jackrabbit and 2 rabb

My son and I took the dogs out for their first night of lamping. We spent the last 2 days working on the dropdoors of box on the back of our hunting rig. They worked great. We were quite suprise how quickly the dogs took to coursing under the light, even when we lost the rabbit in the light and they caught in total darkness. This was our first attempt and can honestly say that we are now hooked on it. For those wondering, the marks on the greyhound are from my bad attempt at sheering here for the desert heat. Not very good at sheering. I appreciate all the help from the

My wife and I took our 10 month old greyhound (Onyx) out for some coursing this afternoon. The rabbits were out in full number from an oncoming storm tonight. Onyx had some good chases that resulted in 2 rabbits and 1 jackrabbit/hare. She is doing very well as a pup, I believe. Tony

Hello, My name is Tony Tebbe from New Mexico, America. I run a predator guiding business where I call coyotes, fox, and bobcat. Check out my website www.PredatorUniversity.com to learn more about me. A friend referred me to this great forum to learn more about Lurchers from the experts. I used to raise lurchers and greyhounds quite a few years ago and finally at a point in my life to begin working on them again. I'm very active on a forum in America called PredatorMasters.com and helped moderate it for a number of years. That's me! Tony
