Tyla 3,179 Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 If you really want to breed from your lakie then put it accross a non ped whippet. I have a jrtxwhippet (terrier sire and whippet dam) and hes a cracking dog, does everything you would expect a lurcher to do. If your not desperate to use the lakie then buy a lurcher rather than breeding for the sake of it. Here is the jrtxwhip Quote Link to post

Guest fence_hopper Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 i'd say buy in a descent lurcher instead. enough shite out there and dogs in rehoming centres no need to add more. Quote Link to post
blackknight 14 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 i would of fort something with to much terrier in it like a half cross jrt x whippet will have a good chance of yapping behind rabbit, not much good for lamping, mite be wrong as I've never owned one. just my opinion.

I cant speak for any other dog but mine is silent on his game and a very capable lamper. His forte is bushing and ferreting, but hes more than capable of dealing with anything else that pops up. To be honest my wife got him as a yard dog when she was working on a livery and i only worked him seriously when my bitch was laid up. That was at the beginning of the season before last when he was about 12 months i think and he has never looked back. Lucky really as my bitch has had a crap time with injuries and hes taken up the slack in fine style. Theres a few people who've seen him on here but he has nothing to prove to anyone but me. If i had the space i would have another like him tomorrow. He does lack the same top speed as a good lurcher but makes up for it with drive and agility. Unfortunately he got a blackthorn in his eye at the end of last season and it has affected the sight in that eye. That in turn has affected his strike which is a shame as it was one of his strong points. He still catches but he misses his strike sometimes which he never used to. Quote Link to post

He is, we tried to put him across my lurcher bitch at her last seaon but they didnt take. A pity as shes taken alot of injuries and deserves some time out, shes in for as toe amputation as a last resort tomorrow, and unless he gets the hang of his eye injury i might be in for another crap season.
