Well lads planning on breeding a litter of first x bullx pups.Iam looking for advice on what type of greyhound bitch to use track or courseing.Also what are your opinions on trying the bitch on game [fox] do you think this really matters as me and the m8s that hunt with me all have different opions.

if its for fox id say go for a big coursing bitch 28" n up. the track hounds thro out small bull crosses most of the time. only my opinion.

cheers lad what do you think about trying on game

I think it has always got to be an advantage if the greyhound is regularly killing fox - shows that she has the fire in her for the job you want the pups to do. Also if she can handle good nights lamping, then it shows she has the brains, stamina, agility, prey drive etc, not just the speed. If i was going to do it i would want both dogs (dam and sire) to be tested as i could manage at the job i intended them to do.

aye give it a go lad, greys or handy enough on the foxs, unless its inbread and retarded. itll be sweet.
