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.

 

 

Agreed, a good working poodle from the continent x greyhound could make a big strong dog with a good nose, decent pace and good retrieval instinct.

one of my mates has a labradoodle (pet) its fast as f**k, crossed to something with a bit more prey drive and it would do alrite. like has been said, dont knock a dog till you have seen it work. gamekeepers used to keep gundog crosses and yet everyone on here slags the idea of them. if you havent seen it you cant complain - although in my opinion they should'nt be sold as workers or for any more than £50 most likely an accidental mating and the guy is trying to make some money back, but he should'nt be touching triple figures with untested crosses.

standard poodle is very intelligent and strong. As has been said, they are worked on the continent and i believe have been used by the police in Germany.

Well [dont know] about hunting+preydrive, but they do make good [guard dogs] .My sister had one as house pet+guard dog. What SP you see are from [show stock], and any [instinct] for hunting [must] have been bred [out] by now. They make a good pet+guard for your house, as they [dont] molt =shed hair. But i[can] think of better breeds to use for a lurcher x than a SP.??

i have said before, i personally think they could be a great cross for so many reasons! but end of the day every one likes their own types of lurchers, each to their own . .

plus a poodle is a stunning dog without the stupid hair cut!!
