ATB Thats true it is each to their own.It does boil down to wat type of dog you are happy with.Usualy determined by the first lurcher you owned. atb Quote Link to post
Catcher 1 639 Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 This snobbery towards the bitza lurcher was started by yours truly d.b.plumer to boost sales for his mates puppy peddling buisness wile keeping bitza lurchers himself.I had never heard of them refferd to bitzas before it was printed in his books.IMHO a well bred bitza will out class any half or 3 quarter in the title of all round lurcher work.atb dell what a load of rubbish..... and before you start I've got both types So were did the term bitza come from.We just called them lurcher to lurcher bred types???? Never mind him dell.Even we dont like him .lol.Catcher 1 I'll lose a lot of sleep knowing that....liked you better when you were a cheeky f****r now your just an arse kisser... In relation to the term bitza it had nothing to do with plummer...or snobbery....some of us just like to know whats in the dog....rather than take the word of a backdoor salesman....and what do you base your evidence on that bitza's are superior? Come on mate.You know i like you. When you talk scence Quote Link to post

I thought it didnt matter what a dog was as long as it was brought on right? So whats your point? My point is you tit that why do you need to know whats in a dog if its all down to how you bring the dog on?...........or have you changed your mind Quote Link to post

That is a valid point.I have been fortunate enough to have had dogs were the mix has come right.A mate has got a litter out of his 7 year old hancock bitch a dog that has proved herself more than enough in the lamp.He asked me to try and get a non ped whippet stud for her after we discussed it a wile he decided to go for a fast type of saluki hybred dog[drax gd red]which if i had the choice would be my prefference over a greyhound.atb dell Quote Link to post
skycat 6,173 Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 I have nothing against bitzas but the reason i dont use them is becouse there like lukey dips you dont know wether your pup will be 20inch or 28 fat or thin. i agree if you get the right one you have a f**king goodun bit i wouldnt go pay good money for a pup that i dont have a idea what it will end up like & i dont buy old dogs in so dont plan on getting a bitza any time soon. if you have one & its a good one show it & be proud you toke your chance & its payed of. most people that have worked dogs will have seen a good bitza some time i have seen a few good & bad bitza but i have seen some good & bad 1/2 3/4 ect of breed known lurchers aswell but its a good idea to do a thread going for the bitza. The real bitsas: those from long lines of bitsas can throw very similar in type, make and shape and above all talent in the field. For example, the line mine come from I can tell before they are born that they will have good strikes, hunt well, retrieve naturally and be generally decent all rounders: not saying that they are any better than anything else, but I know what I'm getting when I breed a litter and as far as height etc is concerned I know that the bitches will be between 23 and 25 inches, and the dogs a bit bigger. Above all they are easy to live with and nice characters and I like them: what more can I say? LOL And I haven't a clue of all the breeds that are really in them: know a few as I've used certain dogs whose breeding I do know, but in the main its all lurcher to lurcher for years and years.

WILF 46,536 Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) Have you got a touch of the alzheimers?, you said before that it made no difference what was in a dog or if the parents were tested as any dog if raised right would turn out a decent dog..........so which is it, dose it matter or not? And for the record, my dog is a mish mash of different stuff but just bred worker to worker........not that it matters of course Edited September 15, 2009 by WILF Quote Link to post

Phil Lloyd 10,738 Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 There are NEVER any guarantees when breeding lurchers,.BUT,...blood does count for something,..and if you match a good dog,.with a good bitch,.then (in my opinion)...it certainly ups your odds.... Quote Link to post
