never had fist hand experience but matehas impressive looking dogs but he was not to sure about prey drive 3quarter supose to be better i here on the grapevine the midland base breeders of these dogs are intending to line breed these dogs to produce abetter animal for work its like everything else i suppose best stick to tried and tested lines

My OH has two. Both very high prey drive. One is brilliant on the lamp, headstrong and committed. The other is still a big pup but coming on well. He is easy to train, very biddable and intelligent. She is a bit of a nutter, not that bright, but a brilliant worker. Like any types of lurcher you'll get some which are better than others, some more intelligent than others. All the Picardy crosses I've seen are very determined on their prey, and as tough as old boots with very good feet indeed.

picardy crosses are very impressive looking dogs and yes i have no doubt they are tough has ol d boots with good bone and good feet but it takes alot moe than this to be a top class lurcher and yes the breeders of these dogs are not totally happy with the first crosses of these dogs thats why they are intending to line breed them the black 3 quarter bred thats about his the best one to date of these crosses costuctive critiscm his only for the strength of the breed of animal trying to be produced the trouble with some folk the imagination can run away with them the lurcher has myths and legends surrounding its origins to any one thinking of starting oujt with lurchers ill just say one piece ofadvice stick to tried and tested stock not something that needs another thirty years of selective breeding by good out and out lurcher folk it costs enough to rear and train and time which one cantbe replaced on something in all probability be average at best
