    Let's see your pictures of line of lurchers you keep I'm not bothered on cross let's see them (Keep it clean lads I don't want to see people talking down or ribbing each other in any kind of slagging match I just want to see some fine bred running dogs)

    its hard but worth it. There used to be more inbred lurcher strains about years ago. You would see some families like peas in a pod.Breeding properly isnt easy. Ive said it before but if you cant put pups/dogs down you shouldnt be breeding anyway,its not for you. If we had never practiced inbreeding we would never have got pure breeds. still plenty of line breeding among the racing/showing seen that still going on but wouldn't think there's many that get put to sleep

    like my self DLloyd I've given up on breeding for showing I breed just a couple of pairs for pleasure this year so I can put all my energy An commitments in to my dogs as I'm expecting some pups out my bitch so it'll be a busy time with training the one I keep for my Sen An getting there mother fit to run once the season gets underway

    I agree with that

    I practice proper line breeding with canarys for the show bench the amount of yearly wastage is out this world I keep records of everything it's hard work if you want to do it correctly it's not going to be a easy with lurchers at all with canarys it's a fast turn over I average from the 2015-2016 breeding season 2015 I bred 53 young with only one being any good for the show bench An 2016 out of 56 young 2 being any good for showing I done very well at the national show showing but that's from a show mans point of view with lurchers it's going to be one hell of a task for proper line breeding

    Interesting topic

    You wouldn't be able to breed successfully with just one pair say father daughter An keep going like that you'd probably get to third generation before the dog meets his maker as time would catch up with him unless you breed out of young gear then you'd get a few more generations in to the line but your probably better off starting with your stud then keeping 3 or more cast very close related greyhounds and culling hard the shit ones also you'd need a army of blokes with the same dedication as your self to keep a close line going

    The bitch pup I bred
  12. poxon
    I bred this cross the beginning of last year out of my Collie/greyhound xwhippet greyhound to a class half x bedlington x greyhound I kept a real cracking bitch for my Sen she was a little demon really easy trained An entered to the ferreting crack like a duck to water her ability to find gear to run was bang on but sadly I lost her due to circumstances out of my control I was just wondering if any one else runs the cross An there thoughts are on them I'm just surprised not more people run the traditional bred gear tbh

    I've seen this shit loads of times it's one of the many reasons I jacked from fb An fb groups to many numptys lets be honest if the dog was really any good some one who knows the person doing the raffle would bid them more than a good price before it's put up for raffle if it was a real good dog like made out to be. you always get there numpty mates bigging the dog up before the raffle goes live....it's almost scripted! I personally like how it's worded like it's a opportunity of a lifetime to get a world beater like there doing you a favour for a£10 bonus ball hahaha

    My pockets are not deep enough for expensive leather collars for my dogs there happy with there£6.50 each collars the last collars I bought them were 5yrs ago from the Thame show I've just bought them the same collars as they had last time they were the same price then as they are now think there old collars still have a couple of years in them yet

    Bet if it is lifted it'd be under licence to hunt kennels only (in a bid to create taxable revenue)not for lads with lurchers as it's un taxable for someone who runs lurchers as it stands at the minute with the ban in place government looses nothing as hunt followers still use all the local facilities that generates taxable revenue. for it to be lifted it'd have to benefit government needs not the people's the only time it's mentioned is when government needs votes it's always going to be there wild card to pull to give fulse hope An get the votes in....
  19. poxon
    So if the ban gets lifted what does it change.....nothing! It's not going to make the slightest bit of difference to running dog lads any ways it's all talk just to get votes in mays favour

    its my 1st of this type I know if you get a good one they can knock some gear over she's showed promise see how she's plays outive only ever seen one that was years ago this cross as always interested me the one I see was meant to be a very handy bitch on the roe

    if I could give a well bred sal x bull greyhound the amount of game they need to be classed as a good dog I'd have one in a shot but sadly this cross would be waisted on me
