samstorm 34 Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 are you breeding to keep 1 back or just for the sake of breeding? Quote Link to post

Guest fence_hopper Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 no the other way round bedyy grey dog over bitch, very handy lurchers mate highly recomended Quote Link to post
poacher3161 1,766 Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 I would not be tempted to put a whippet/grey over her as better lurchers can be produced by useing different crosses.atb dell Quote Link to post
Tiny 7 1,694 Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 It really depends on what you are looking for out the pups ie Quarry and land you hunt, If it were me and to suit my type of hunting then id be looking for another typey BeddyX maybe a touch of Collie/Deerhound in the mix, Quote Link to post

iceman001979 1,316 Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Your bitch must be missing something what l mean by that she might need a bit more staying in her, more balls, better coat and feet etc etc so what your bitch is missing get a sire that has it does not real matter about the breeding just as long as the sire is adding something too the pups Quote Link to post
Guest porterlord Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 i have a beddy grey male 25 tts same as you not good on fetching back but very good lamping dog and very keen Quote Link to post
Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 never seen a first cross any bigger then 23" my dog was 23" as were its 6 litter mates, a friend has one from his own stuff and his bitch is only 22". 25" first cross would take some beating good luck with your plans Quote Link to post
