davidlloyd 16 Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 First I'd like to thank Jim/Snipe and markbrick/Blue/Whisky and Whin for their kind offers of some top working lurchers to go with Blacky. Big thank you lads to all three of you. I decided to go with Bertie, a first cross whippet greyhound of 24in who is owned by a real nice guy from Ayrshire. This dog is well-tested over several seasons. The guy was 100% genuine, no bull-shit, even let me take the dog from his garden whilst he was in work, up to the field to do the second mating. Dog seemed to have a lovely nature too. Just wondered what you lads on here think of my final decision to go with this stud? I think they will produce the kind of pups that I'll need for the ground I run. Under no circumstances was deciding to stay in Scotland for the dog an easy option, as I travelled a total of 32 hours round trips with no breaks LOL to make sure I got the job done. Lets hear what you guys think. This is about a pup for myself and a few close friends, not an advertisement for pups. Quote Link to post

Guest fence_hopper Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 not slating you dave luck doe's come into to it, not every pup will make a world beater. we know the dams a good bitch, but not every stud will produce quality pups. just my opinion like you asked urs for. i'm less easily pleased mate and if i had a good bitch like blacky i'd be making sure i put as good as a dog over her and for that i'd have to see him work or a album of hunting trips. everyones different mate Quote Link to post
