Greyhound x Kerry Blue

[MissRhianL 70]

Do you think a greyhound x kerry blue would make the grade as a good working dog?

[DottyDoo 500]

dependss on the dogs origonally used, whether or not they were any good

then it will depend on who gets 1

 

 

just my 2 pence worth

Its got as much chance as any other cross i,d have thought...so long as you use a decent Kerry and not a show bred rubbin rag...atb stabba

There's only one way to find out.........and that's why there's so much rubbish out there and dogs homes are full of lurchers.

Think about the question for a second?????????????

To breed a worker properly you first need working parents. Where do you find a working Kerry Blue? Don't fool yourself, there's none.

Once upon a time they were fiery, gamey (I didn't say game) jack of all trades. But not now.

The Irish terrier was the same and that cross was popular and successful. But not nowadays.

15 or 16 years ago I seen a Kerry Blue cross that could catch a few rabbits on the lamp until it broke it's neck. It was a poor fox dog.

Any working ability that this dog had IMO came from the greyhound side of the mating.

Sorry , meant to say I agree , but what a shame the way Irish and Kerry blues have gone .

[to be quite honest thats aload of bollox, i know of two first class dogs that are supreme at foxs single handed, and there just gone three year old, the bloke is doing the same cross again, its alot to do with who has them,there fiery critters, any dog show will vouch for that, a few around cork waterford area seem to be doing ok/quote]

Do you think a greyhound x kerry blue would make the grade as a good working dog?

One of my mates done it a long way back and they turned out tidy enough dogs. Hunted well and killed when they caught, I think the line came to an end a couple year ago.

maybe be so jack but there is far more working weatons in the same area that

would wipe the boards with nearly any kerry blues.

not saying there is no kerrys working but they would be only the odd dog

in a very weak line of workers

have heard of some handy crosses but they where after bunnies mainly

and just the odd fox .

weaton is the way to go

there is a guy up this way who breeds them but dont know if they turned out any good but i know nothing about the kerry blue so i couldn't comment but surely there are other terriers to fit the bill bedlington and wheaton both make good dogs

[Beddy-Poacher 30]

A bloke in Keighley had one and claimed it would be a real earth dog for pigs.. But of course nobody hunt them because its illegal

[bradaz2009 9]

this guy was in blackburn but never seen one work or to look at in the flesh like and he must of bin an old guy and it was a very old dog
