I've bred a few pups and I could have bred and sold/gifted dozens,.but as a commercial breeder of lurchers once told me, " Phil, you will never make a dog breeder because you ask too many questions, of a prospective customer"...I rated his remarks as a great compliment.... I think you should concern yourself more about the ones you keep, because they are your selection. The stuff that goes out the door is that which you didnt think worth keeping. If you have to question prospective buyers then you dont know them, and will probably be lied to anyway. 2 1 Quote Link to post

Just sell the thing lol or gift them the cream rises and you can always use it in future I find it strange that a working man with working dogs thinks there to good for the common folk lol talking the high ground is what the rich a done for century's 2 Quote Link to post

It's why I won't breed a litter nowadays. The cream can sink if it's in the hands of a loser. Edited May 23, 2021 by Aussie Whip 3 Quote Link to post

Night Walker 591 Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 If it was to be a line I’d e starting with a few unrelated whippets and greyhounds and go from there, get stock out there grafting then put the best to the best and continue on like that. Not really worth it though as your going to get what’s needed from the first cross anyway. Half cross, 3/4 greyhound and 1/4 whippet and 3/4 whippet 1/4 greyhound would be all you would need to breed. Not a line just types, very handy types 1 1 Quote Link to post
Aussie Whip 4,130 Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) I reckon start off with two good unrelated grey bitches and put a top working whippet over both. You can add different greyhound or whippet blood depending what you want down the track when it gets too close. Edited May 23, 2021 by Aussie Whip 1 Quote Link to post
