If you google hunting poodles you'll get some results back for breeders who are using their poodles to hunt, mostly in the US. I should think dogs of that calibre would have loads to add to a lurcher, but there doesn't seem to be anyone in the UK doing it. Mostly they seem to be used to retrieve feather but it's that retrieving abilitiy, combined with their brains, nice deep chests and thicker coats that would theoretically make them attractive, I assume.

 

Poodles are extremely smart, hardy, game and fast when they are well bred. I think you'd be hard pressed to find one with the right lineage here in the UK to make it worth while adding it to a lurcher breeding program.

Lurchergrrl you say Poodles are extremely smart, hardy, game and fast.

I'm sorry but I've heard some rubbish spoken about working dogs over the years but that takes the biscuit.

JMHO.

A lot of my family used to live off the coast and marshland and an old great uncle of mine says the best gundog he ever saw out on the marshes was a standard poodle so there must be some gooduns around and not just kc fecked up monstrosities.

I'm buying one of the for mentioned pups, hopefully pick it up tomorrow. Typp Ratcher's a regular contributor to cmw and a serious dogman. He's wrote an article in the past on why cross a poodle. Apparently the dam's 7/8 greyhound/collie and the sire's a poodle.

My parents had 2 poodles when i was young and both where keen as mustard, wanted to hunt anything, one's favourite trick was to pull hedgehogs out from under hedges, an excellent nose. And even being a young lad of 13 with no dog training experience trained one of them to retrieve when out with air rifle, and both of them could clear a five bar gate no problem.

My last dog was a 5/8 collie/greyhound and i'm serious about working good intelligent dogs. I'm not buying the pup as a "designer dog", but as a dog that should have great potential, i am very excited about the possibilities, but must admit a little nervous because the cross has'nt really been tried before.

Your making a good choice mate. The dog will likely turn out better than a lot of the rubbish being bred at the moment. Ive just bought a pure bred toy poodle for bushing work. See the photos/thread in the earthdog section

mate im being serous here most dogs with half greyhound will catch a rabbit and if got base blood feather ie collie labrodor etc , its when you are into all sorts only tried and tested workers shine as you no there good pionts and there bad pionts ,most dogs half greyhound are fine but if you are after game flushing ie roe hare to guns adays bolting rabbs a daylite mooch maybe the odd fox ,then you need to no what they are bred off performance wise

I cant remember accusing you of breeding rubbish. However if I caused you offence then accept my sincerest apologies. I presume you are a jock, going by your attempt at writing your supposed dialect. However I have no intention of travelling hundreds of miles to Scotland to seek your approval of my dogs. In fact I have no intention of ever returning to Scotland, but that as they say is another story.
