HARES (pre-ban)

[jimlampit 7]

i have a 4 gen saluki grey that can cut the musturd in small feilds but only cos that what he was raised on, the rest of the litter run the fen and other big land but are crap in smaller feilds, my dog has been tried and tested on larger land and coped very well he ran as he always does, but if i was to breed a dog it would be smaller somthing like a collie,whippet,grey to a saluki,whippet,grey and would breed from a couple of smaller dogs 23" and no bigger as then you could get your speed very fast off the mark and small enough and nimble enough to cope with the smal space,

my friend runs his lamper on the smaller feilds daylight and does the job just fine and thats a heinz 57 bitza with a rough coat and 25".. that came from years of lurcher to lurchere breeding so i think good strong hardcore lampers will cope with the daylight in smaller fields so you could breed a good lamper with wat ever dogs doing the job in your airea and i reckon you could get some crackers

Spot on.Its the reason imho you carnt go far wrong putting good lamping types to good coursing types

 

 

Bare with me cuz I aint from yalls country but what do yall mean when you say "good lamping types"?

I call good lamping types lurcher to lurcher bred dogs some times smallish dogs that benefit from the injection of good saluki hybreds.I E some one might have a collie hybred thats good in the lamp and has a good strike but just is that bit lacking for daytime so breeds it to a good daytime dog and if lucks on your side it can produce dogs wat we call the allrounder

 

i my eyes a dog that can be run 7 nights a week on wat ever tickles you pickle from rabbit to a horny and can manege good numbers constantly on big or small land and makes you think is this possible for a dog to do this.. thats a hardcore lamper / good lamper types.. if like me your dogs get hamerd in the winter you will know wat im on about good strong dogs with amazing feet a great catch, no's [bANNED TEXT] to put another gear in to catch its prey and can work a good h.are of a hedge like a pro daylight dog, and can near on have a course in a woods if you can give it some light.. thats a good lamper to me..

Saluki X Whippet/Greyhound is my prefered choice for the smaller fields but also useful in the larger ones as well.

Heres my bitch 23tts, 13mths old.

my personal opinion is that i would have the dogs in my kennel lol being serious a dog is what you make it and breeding can only go so far. a dog is only as good as the owner.

Breeding can make the dog go all the way as well as the owner more so in a well bred dog

what im saying is a few rare people can get a dog to its full potential, like i said its a combination of things and you carnt just rely on breeding and say thats gonna be a great dog as it dosnt work like that. its all about the time and effort an owner puts in to make there dogs something special. a friend has a dog out the same litter as mine and he is by far more experienced then me and it shows in his dog when we work them together. now the breeding is exactly the same but hes brought out the better winning contributes in his due to time and effort and his wealth of working dog knowledge.

The only time you can rely on breeding is when the dogs up and running provideing you have got the dog fit then most cases it comes down to breeding imho.atb dell
