Guest dances Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 my dad had one in the 's, and he put him off them. no good for regular foxing but thats all he did, so dunno about other things. Quote Link to post
huntingalltheway 2 Posted October 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 from what i know of it i think its because your dog takes the most charateristics of the dam and as unfit says people use the greyhound for just the speed perposes. an alsation has stamina, intelligance, bottle and not like collie bottle when the going gets tough the alsation doesnt pull out, the only thing the greyhound can offer is speed.

whin 463 Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 good greyhound can offer more than speed you twat some will die for the kill and some run clever , fech me what does a run of the mill family pet alsaition offer a busy huinting man , ive saw goos alsaition crosses s bartons dogs many years ago but the greyhound has more than speed mate trained a few for lamoping and foxing they were good dogs to Quote Link to post

whin 463 Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 mate saw lots of things i my life but i have saw very good greyhounds feildgreyhounds over in new mexico saw ex coursing bitches catch 2 out of three winter hares , had several over the years some were no good feet wise but some were decent ,now i no they are not the full ticket but they are not just there to give pace , some have very good mouths and throw there mouth to there young mate ,some clever on the chase when they are game wise, never run a good greyhound as just a meal ticket for pace , had one straight of the feild saw her first fox good nite for mr foxy so they aint just pace dogs even tho they are the fastest dogs in the world bud , but ye they are fast and thtas how the feet f**k up and yes they are bred for pace but some have good stamina i had one thta done 1200 yrds a pup of her and she through stamina as well , a gereyhound throws more than your average alsaition collie etc cause they are alot of them feche dup with show breed mate Quote Link to post
whin 463 Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 over in new mexxico they have feild greyhounds cold blooded and hot blooded pure and they wire into the big ole coyotes not a problem and some stay sound , not a greyhound lover but when you see all the pet alsaitions colie labs at least i can go out witha greyhound and catch my dinner mate was brought up round greyhounds since a small boy ,so saw a few unfit ,saw abitch at the waterloo kill 3 out of three hares 2004 she was very good ideal for breeding but theprice was not for sale Quote Link to post

bird 9,970 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 A mal might be a better x to a grey. Smaller maybe better hips, and if from good line [good pre-drive]. Its like any x =bulls,collie,deerhound,.........., get the right working line plus a good greyhound and you in with a fighting chance. Quote Link to post
leegreen 2,197 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 hi i'm thinking of buying a first x alsation x greyhound as one of my mates has one and it kills everything its allowed. i've seen alot of breeds run but nothing i've found so far can match its endurance and power. what are peoples views on the breed and can any body advise. if any one has got any pics of the breed they could post that would be great.cheers all I would go for a Malinous X and a racy type Mali aswell, much better on there feet than a bounding, rubber backed GSD.
