Guest MIST NET Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I remember talking to dave sleight about a greyhound x poodle (he brought up the subject) and he seemed to recon the cross would do alright...he also mentioned the greyhound x labrador which in his eyes would make tidy knock about lurchers (didnt the pointer x do alright ?).i suppose its also got a lot to do with the person who trains such a animal (the better the trainer the better the dog)....now as for the price..well i supose thats up to the seller isnt it ?...what im trying to say is dont knock any cross till its been proper trained and then properly tested....

My sentiments indeed, infact this cross could throw a decent versatile dog in the right hands, the poodle is a very intelligent breed of dog , in France and in other European countries they are still worked, a dog of this breed i should think would have a excellent coat, decent feet, plenty of brains, it woul suit somebody who likes rough shooting/ wildfowling, mooching, ferreting, and it would certainly have enough pace for lamping, the trouble is nowadays alot of lads prefer point and aim dogs, and they can,t be bothered to train dogs up to a decent standard, and they prefer a dog with what i would call less brain power. regards collie john.

farlap 19 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) there was a lady in Luton putting standard poodle to lurcher and getting a reasonable working dog from it. Why do people always think "poodle" = some namby pamby toy breed? Standards are a great breed with good working potential. We had one that was as good as a lab on our shoot.
