the chances of you getting the pup that throws to the collie side out this mateing is very slim,, easyer to get the lotto up.. i would stay away from beddyxs they are not fot the beginner a lurcher to lurcher with both parents haveing collie in would do you imo atb

know where there a litter of half cross collie grey back to grey. so 3/4 collie grey. the greyhound sire is a class dog. the owner was trainer and owner of the year at perry barr track. big black irish bred dog. might be of interest to him?

[stroller 341]

my first dog is a 3/4 saluki grey as many of you have seen in my dads pics it was training the bloody thing but hes a beutiful dog and has took some time training him but i stuck to me guns and kept goin with him and he does everthing from ferreting, lamping to a good old course and i would have no other breed of lurcher or long dog as these dogs look awsome when they run good luck and all the best chose your pup carefuly

whenever 2 breeds have been crossed in the past to create a new breed,they looked to improve each generation not just repeat the same hybrid mating and allow the faults of both breeds to continue surfacing time after time.

It is not just the particular cross that is important, but the temperament and character of the pup> a dominant pup will be harder to train than a chilled out, happy-to-be-part-of-the-pack pup. A timid pup will need more careful rearing and bringing on as well. He needs to go and look at potential litters with someone who knows their dogs so he can be guided towards what I call the 'middle of the road' pup: neither too pushy, nor too shy and retiring. I've had different types of lurcher and even within one litter they can vary a huge amount, even the Saluki types. Whilst some will be 'stick two fingers up at you' and bugger off hunting, there can be another which will be easy to train and biddable as anything. Choosing the right pup from a litter is the most important thing IMO.

my mate has a young whippet, took her out for the first time the other day, very switched on....but i think a bit of beddy be a good idea tho

my first is a bullx he's 15 month now, first 6 months were a breeze, couldnt do anything but try to please me, had basic training (sit, down, heel,) within two weeks of having him next 6 months very different, constantly testing, pushing me, getting more and more disobediant, the last three months after going back to basics he is now coming all good and has had a few bunnys on the lamp, after many tries. and just before the snow started falling he had a 3 out of 3 and brought them all to hand. hard work and determination and spending as much free time with the pup bonding and training, probably more important than the breed i think.

very true

breed is quite important depending what you want it for

but you only get out what you put in

to any breed

[Simoman 110]

Personally i would avoid anything heavily saturated with bull or saluki blood as i beleive they require some experience. If as you say he just wants to do some lamping and ferreting i would opt for a beddie/grey or a whippet/grey.............

[stroller 341]

i have no experience with saluki before ive got the one ive got yah just need to do some research and have patience

[owendbowendb 132]

I have a collie grey x whippet. Was my first lurcher is a useful dog. finished at 24 tts. a very good X and not just a bunny dog. would reccomend it as first lurcher if from decent working parents. but no dog is the same mate.

 

good luck
