not sure if its been asked yet but how do you breed a 5/8 3/8 lurcher/longdog?

 

 

 

its a 50 x 50 half cross mated with a 3/4 x 1/4.

 

for example 1/2 collie 1/2 greyhound, mated to a 1/4 collie 3/4 greyhound = 3/8 5/8 lurcher

 

or example 1/2 saluki 1/2 greyhound mated to a 1/4 saluki 3/4 greyhound = 3/8 5/8 longdog,

 

a 50 50 is a half cross

a 3/4 x 1/4 is bred by putting a 50 50, half (eg collie greyhound cross) back to a pure greyhound.

 

eg collie greyhound x collie greyhound x greyhound

eg saluki greyhound x saluki greyhound x greyhound

 

or whatever cross you want

true there cocker but he asked the other way round i think which would be a pure collie to a 1/4 collie 3/4 grey which would equal 5/8 3/8

[CI HIR 13]

The following will produce 3/8 5/8,

half cross bull greyhound x 1/4 bull 3/4 greyhound will produce 3/8 bull 5/8 greyhound

3/4 bull 1/4 greyhound x greyhound will also produce 3/8 bull 5/8 greyhound

3/8 5/8 x 3/8 5/8 will also produce the same

a 3 qtr dog till a greyhound makes 7/8th

[cocker 2,654]

is it 5/8 3/8 that you are after mate? or the more common 3/8 5/8, ?

 

 

 

and the only sure way you would know if the dog was genuine bred this way woulld be to breed yourself which would take years, or buy off someone you know will tell you the truth about how he bred his dogs, it takes a long time to get good working dogs genuinley bred the way you are asking, all the best mate,

Read it properly,I said 3/4 bull 1/4 greyhound crossed with a greyhound also gives 3/8 bull 5/8 greyhound

remember that when breeding hybrids / cross breeds, genetics dont work out in percentages, so the pups although bred like so on paper, can throw any way.
