Guest oldskool Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 i like him mate, breeding him to a greyhound bitch would be the choice i would make too :thumbs-up: ... but each to their own!! another season of work wouldnt do him any harm.... and by that time you will have worthy greyhound bitch to put him to, i would do plenty of lookin around cuz not all greyhounds that are stars on the track are good in the field when it comes to pre ban foxes etc ... thats my thoughts on it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mattyg 1,862 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 might be best to let him get a couple of seasons work under his belt then breed him. he isnt fully mature by any standards yet. just wonderd why you want to breed him so early in his life aswell? if its just for money you are on a hiding to nothing, if its so you can get a pup out of him let him do a bit of growing up so he can realise his full potential. looks like he will be able to do whats asked of him when the time comes! good luck with him Quote Link to post Share on other sites

welshhound2 20 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 thought this was the classifieds dnt think a dog at 16mths can be called a proven dog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ratcher 69 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 he has asked the question what do you think of him i personaly think hes done nothing buy looking at that pick maybe hes chased a few bunnys and thats lots of work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snoopdog 1,256 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 done loads at 16 months? Personally in my opinion i would give a dog a good few seasons to prove itself as a worker before breeding ANY dog ..But thats just my opinion. This is the reason too many dogs are culled/unwanted due to unproven backyard breeding But if you think hes upto it - good luck. that dog looks just like one i saw at york hunt on boxingday is it the same dog ??????and like people say mate he might be doing well .and i must admitt he looks well ..even better with a bit more work.... but hes hardly proven no matter how many hes had .....at least another couple of seaons before you get a provern dog ........and they will be better pups and stronger in another couple of seasons ......

witton 6 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Gary 30 fox is alot for one dog in one season, if that dog had caught that many it would be much fitter than it is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snoopdog 1,256 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Gary 30 fox is alot for one dog in one season, if that dog had caught that many it would be much fitter than it isif its the same dog i saw at york i was talking to the fella who owned it he was in his late forties ..iam not sure if it is .but it looked a bit fitter than that...and if it is he said it had twenty fox but i think most of them were drawn ..not actually coarsed ...but iam not 100% if it is ... .. iwould like to no ..thats maybe his lad ...he was a nice chap i spent an hour or so talking to him ..iam sure he said it was 16 months old aswell....smart dog tho ...very smart....its bugging me now ..i need to no..

Ray Mears 272 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 i agree 30 foxes is alot but i should think is it has had 30+ foxes it would look abit fitter and if the dog has been drawing foxes it should have a couple of war wounds non of witch can i see just a thought thats all good hunting all WHIPPET BOY!

witton 6 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Yeah that is true snoop, but if the dog turns out to be shit then the odds of the pups being decent dogs become even lower. There is enuff of a gamble when it comes to breeding working dogs with out making the gamble even bigger and breeding from unproven stuff. David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
