very few dobermans in the uk have enough drive to be any use for anything other than pets really.if your bitch is drivey and happy to hunt maybe you would be better breeding her to another doby you have a rare dog...if you are going to put a sight hound over her a straight greyhound would be the way forward.the pups would probably be well suited to bigger stuff if it wasnt illegal to run deer or fox in the uk..pics of the bitch and pups would be great...

I have read some balls on this forum lately, but this ranks right up there with the worst. Dobermanns are used in a multitude of arenas, a lot of them due to their high prey drive.

 

I would agree with you had you stated that the nasty unstable streak has been bred out and they may not resemble the breed from 60 years ago.

 

I would agree with you if you said, don't try and make a name for yourself by breeding what you hope is the next generation of super lurchers.

 

I would agree with you if you stated that although dobermanns are an athletic, deceptively fast dog, they do not possess the attributes necessary for fast acceleration. Cross it with a grey and you may get 1 or 2 pups thrown correctly. The rest...........

 

I have two dobes and I have taken them lamping. Good fun and an exciting change to my whippets. But it was a bit like lamping with highly driven wildebeast. No acceleration, no turn and defo no finess.

 

Anyone who thinks that a dobe x lurcher or x grey would make a decent altenative to whats already proven and available needs their head examined.

Don't get me wrong mate, you've done the deed and I wish you all the best. I hate to see failure and really want you to get the best litter possible.

[longdog13 36]

Must be a professional then?

Transversely, i have seen a pure Doby bitch working fairly well, obviously it was no threat to a working lurcher, but she done fairly well on the lamp She was a well built wee thing, kind of like a whippet grey cross type, very lithe, You never no mate, might work out for you.

 

But i wont have a dig, i'm no professional

 

All the best,

good god only asked if anyone had seen a doberman x lurcher before and dave has a dig must be something about someone working with what they have rather than rushing out to buy a NAMED bred lurcher.

as for deed done shows how much you know dave i did not do the deed a lurcher dog did,i have a bad hip can't get that low..

[ian 1 36]

i know some who had one about 15 years ago it was used just for the bigger stuff , it was a very good dog at his job killed many big game single handed

If you wanted a lurcher it would have made more sense to get a lurcher rather than breeding something that only YOU want.

What do you intend doing with the pups YOU don't want cos the dogs homes are full enough as it is without bloody idiots "breeding" more unwanted dogs?

[wrowmon 1]

skelly am no idiot mate as my doberman works well to rabbit,rat hunts up snipe and other game to the gun (i also have two other gundogs esp and esp lab cross)i wanted to cross her not buy a dog for silly money have two people who are deffo taking a pup any left over will be advertised and if not sold will be kept.not selling them for silly money unlike a load of doberman puppies worth £700 each and then letting them go for peanuts because no one wants to buy them.

chirst if a so called name in the lurcher world bred a doberman x and it appeared in a mag people like you who can't think for yourself would proclaim the secound coming and rush out to buy one.

i will look after these pups as well as i can so please do not judge me by your standards...

hi mate ive seen a pair of doby x g/hounds work when i was starting out 30ish year ago it was an unplaned mateing the g/hound only had 3pups one went to a pet home and the pair the lad kept and worked them on fox and deer plus the odd rabbit outing they did ok on bunnys day/night but made very short work of fox so i was told how ever on deer i seen the catches he bought home hanging in his shed the owner of these dogs said they would use sent during the day to flush deer.he also said one of the dogs would bark while on the chase the other did not. they both took the build of the g/hound and had black and tan markings like the doby i think if your breeding for youself then why not each to there own. hope your bitch do,es not have a large litter , in the ,s i new of a few litters of pure doby,s all had 10plus pups.will be intresting to see/hear how the pup ypu keep deveopes good luck mate
