bird 9,864 Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 What x makes the best lamping dog, for all quarry pre-ban.? Ive run bullxs,colliexs, bitzas, all did well on the quarry they were ran at. As most know i run a 1x colliexgrey Bryn now, and he as had great season caught loads of rabbits and will bust a gut to catch what in front of him. . My bullx was the same as Bryn give 100%.My bitza bitch(lurcher to lurcher)was a great catch dog as well .Having read few posts on here about differnt xs, and my own experience i think maybe a lurcher to lurcher might make the better lamp dog. . What do you lot think.?? Quote Link to post

Romany 1,065 Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 All the best lampers Ive had or seen (and Im talking about volumes of work on all quarry, not the odd night out) were lurcher x lurcher no first crossers can match them.. Quote Link to post
poacher3161 1,766 Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Its got to be lurcher to lurcher for me.Though i had a saluki/grey first cross that wernt bad .I have never had mutch luck with lurchers with a lot of greyhound in them ie 3 quarter breds.Though some make very good lampers.

Bosun11 537 Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 I'd go with Romany and Poach Ray, for me it would be Lurcher X Lurcher, with the only 'pedigree' being the work behind the lineage. These days, the less I can see of any particular 'breed' in a dog, the more I like it. Grafters born and bred.....! Quote Link to post

Guest joe ox Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 I to prefer lurcher x lurcher, worker to worker preferably line bred. Quote Link to post

I agree with you their i hunt similar land and need a sharp quik dog i had a collie/grey bitch some years ago and she just was not sharp enough for the rabbits around were i live but did well up in the dales i was told.

My mate runs a colliexgreyx salukixgrey, and it is 9 years old, and it still can knock over 20-25 rabbits in a night.It as great stamina,good retriever and quick recovery rate.And it as stayed sound for years. Dont think you get will many lurchers that ( can+want to) do that amount of work at that age. So in my book this is what i would call a(very good x) as a lamping dog. Quote Link to post

It is a good cross bird.A dog that i owned some years back that was to be used mainly for coursing brown and blue hares turned out a decent lamp dog [bANNED TEXT] tried and he was out of a 3quarter grey/collie back to a pure saluki Quote Link to post
