dig2dogs 2 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 hi guys, after a conversation the other day with a guy i know just wondered if anyone has ever owned, come across, bred, heard of, ect "think ya get the idea" of an airedale cross lurcher ? also pics would be good if poss. just interested as whith the recent"ish" interest in wheaten x's i was thinking if the right stamp of airedale still out there it may make for less litter variation "1st x" due to the airedale being leggy to start with !! any thoughts anyone ? all the best d2d Quote Link to post

jackson2kaii8 5 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 i saw an add on the local trader airedale x whippet your man said it was a good ferreting and lamping dog!! Quote Link to post
jackard 36 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 they make a hard lurcher if you find the right dogs to start with (redline breed airedale ) also use a bitch airedale and cover her with a greyhound dog or whippet, that way you get the length of back in the off spring and the speed if you do it the other way they will be short coupled and slower. i have a mate that runs a first cross airdale whippet looks like a mongrel but its as hard as nails and a good nose on it ( its what i call a terrier mans dog ) you couldnt eat what it catches more chance of getting a meal of a heavy goods road kill. bitch is insane but good at what shes worked on. ( i wouldnt think twice about owning her ). 1 Quote Link to post

As I would have thought the opposite was true; put an Airdale dog to a Greyhound bitch ......... Cheers. Quote Link to post

skycat 6,173 Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Here's my Redline Airedale, now with a summer haircut: she wasn't woolly coated before, more like a thick Lakeland type jacket, and a mane like a lion. She's not that fast but very tough and goes all day: I'd say pretty indestructable: check out those legs! Quote Link to post
